Maintenance requirements
Carry out an annual inspection and record this on the Resene Construction Systems Maintenance guide. For best results use Resene Paint Prep and Housewash liquid concentrate. Apply the diluted solution with a soft broom, and wash off with copious amounts of fresh water. Most detergents have a detrimental effect on fish life so avoid letting the washings run off into the storm-water system. DO NOT use harsh solvent based cleaners.
