What does the NORWEH 10-year guarantee cover?
NORWEH backs every timber frame kit with a 10-year structural guarantee — one of the strongest warranties available in the outdoor kit structure market. It reflects the company’s confidence in the quality of its Douglas Fir timber and precision manufacturing.
What the 10-year guarantee covers:
- Manufacturing defects – any component that arrives with a defect in materials or workmanship
- Structural integrity – the structural performance of the timber frame under normal use conditions
- Joinery quality – the precision and fit of mortise and tenon joints (HT model) and bolt connections (LT model)
Important notes:
- The guarantee covers the timber frame kit itself — not third-party roofing materials, finishes, or foundation work you supply separately
- Normal weathering, checking (small surface cracks as wood dries), and color change in untreated timber are natural characteristics of wood and are not covered under warranty
- Proper installation per NORWEH’s instructions and maintenance per recommended guidelines are expected for warranty validity
