• Weather Protection: While designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions (heavy rain, direct scorching sun, snow) can affect the wood. Consider covering the kitchen or storing it in a sheltered area during harsh weather.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they are tight. Inspect the wood for any signs of wear, splinters, or damage. Repair or replace damaged parts as needed.
