5. Maintenance

The VINGLI Wooden Garden Arbor is constructed from weather-resistant wood, designed for minimal maintenance. Regular care will help preserve its appearance and structural integrity.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the wooden surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, and debris. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly.
• Inspection: Annually inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary. Check for any signs of wood rot, cracks, or damage.
• Weather Protection: While weather-resistant, extreme conditions can affect the wood. In areas with harsh winters or prolonged heavy rain, consider applying a wood sealant or stain every few years to extend its lifespan and maintain its finish.
• Plant Management: Trim climbing plants regularly to prevent them from becoming too heavy or obstructing the arbor's structure.
