4. Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the Outsunny Wooden Garden Bench is designed to be straightforward. It is recommended to have a second person assist with assembly for ease and safety. Ensure you have a clear, flat workspace.

Required Tools (Not Included):

• Phillips head screwdriver (if not included)
• Rubber mallet (optional, for gentle tapping)

Assembly Steps:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Identify each part by comparing it with the parts list in the manual.
2. Attach Leg Frames: Secure the leg frames to the main seat structure using the provided bolts and washers. Do not fully tighten the bolts at this stage.
3. Connect Crossbars (if applicable): If your model includes crossbars between the leg frames, attach them now. Again, hand-tighten only.
4. Align and Secure Seat Slats: Position the seat slats onto the frame. Ensure all pre-drilled holes align correctly. Important: Do not force any parts. If alignment issues occur, re-check the orientation of the leg frames and slats.
5. Final Tightening: Once all parts are correctly aligned and loosely assembled, gradually tighten all bolts and screws using the provided tool or a screwdriver. Ensure all connections are firm and secure.
6. Stability Check: Gently rock the assembled bench to check for stability. If any wobbling occurs, re-tighten all fasteners.

6. Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your wooden garden bench.

• Cleaning: Wipe the bench regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the wood finish.
• Weather Protection: Although the bench features a water-safe varnish, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions (heavy rain, direct sunlight, snow, frost) can affect its durability. Consider covering the bench with a protective cover or storing it indoors during harsh weather seasons.
• Fastener Check: Periodically check all screws and bolts for tightness. Re-tighten them as needed to maintain structural integrity.
• Wood Treatment: To maintain the wood's appearance and protection, consider applying a suitable outdoor wood sealant or varnish annually, especially if the bench is exposed to the elements year-round.
