Setup and Assembly
Assembly instructions are provided with your product. Please follow them carefully. For optimal results and ease of assembly, we recommend the following:
- Two-Person Assembly: It is highly recommended that two people assemble the bench. This will help with aligning parts and securing fasteners.
- Tools: While basic tools may be included, using your own high-quality tools (e.g., wrenches, screwdrivers) can significantly ease the assembly process.
- Alignment: Some users have reported that holes may be slightly out of alignment. Clamps can be useful to pull sections together during the final stages of assembly to ensure proper fit.
- Level Surface: Assemble the bench on a rigorously flat and level surface to ensure all parts align correctly and the finished bench is stable.
- Fasteners: Ensure all screws and nuts are securely tightened. Periodically check and re-tighten fasteners as needed.

- Placement: Position the bench around a tree with a trunk circumference of up to 220 cm (inner diameter 70 cm) to create a shaded and comfortable seating area.

Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your garden bench.
- Cleaning: Wipe the bench with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the powder-coated finish.
- Rust Prevention: Although the steel is powder-coated for weather resistance, inspect for any chips or scratches in the coating that could lead to rust. Touch up any damage promptly with appropriate outdoor metal paint.
- Winter Storage: During winter months or periods of prolonged inclement weather, it is advisable to cover the bench or store it indoors to protect it from extreme temperatures and moisture.
- Fastener Check: Periodically check all bolts and nuts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
