Operating Instructions

The Leigh Country Metal Outdoor Bench is designed for comfortable seating in your outdoor space. Simply sit on the bench, ensuring your weight does not exceed the maximum capacity of 550 lbs (249 kg).

• Ensure the bench is placed on a level surface before use.
• Avoid standing on the bench or using it as a step stool.
• Do not place excessively heavy items on the bench.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your outdoor bench.

• Cleaning: Wipe the bench with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots and rust.
• Rust Prevention: The bench features a durable powder-coated finish to prevent rusting. However, for outdoor use, ensure proper maintenance and care, especially in humid or rainy conditions. Consider applying an anti-rust liquid to bolts and joints periodically.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary.
• Storage: During harsh weather conditions or prolonged periods of non-use, consider storing the bench in a sheltered area to protect its finish.

Troubleshooting

• Bench feels wobbly: Check all assembly bolts and ensure they are securely tightened. Ensure the bench is on a flat, even surface.
• Rust spots appearing: Clean the affected area with a wire brush to remove loose rust, then apply a rust-inhibiting primer and paint. Regular cleaning and maintenance can prevent this.
• Difficulty aligning holes during assembly: Loosely attach all bolts before fully tightening any. This allows for minor adjustments. If parts are mislabeled (L/R), double-check the orientation against the manual's diagrams.
