wood treatment product. If you have bought painted product - first maintenance, depending on weather conditions, is only
required after 3-5 years. Frequency of maintenance depends on the weather impacts and location of the product. Keep metal
parts of your product well oiled. Oil them at least once a year or when necessary.
If you have bought stained product - first maintenance, depending on weather conditions, is required after 1-2 years. Frequen-
cy of maintenance depends on the weather impacts and location of the product. Stained products are not protected against
wood destroying insects or wood decaying fungi. The stain does not penetrate the wood and depending on the weather
conditions can wash down on flat product surfaces. If this happens, consult your nearest DIY store to get the best advice on
further domestic treatment.
If you have bought untreated (natural) product, treaty the surface with antiseptic, anti-mould agent dauring installation.
Consult your nearest DIY for treatment agents available. Further treatments depend on the treatment you will use first time.
Treatment agent or paint must be applied to each part separately. If you are painting of treating factory assembled panel; with
any other colouring, please take into the account, that during drying, unpainted parts of wood will appear. This will not be
considered as claim. In time, mould can appear on naturally bought products, even after home treatment. Keep metal parts of
your product well oiled. Oil them at least once a year or when necessary.
Tips
Assembly
Assemble according to the instructions supplied with the product. Always assembly your product on flat, even surface and
always according to the instruction. During the assembly, loosely fit the screws at first, fastening then tight only when fully
assembled. Check furniture fittings at least once a year - the screws may require tightening.
Storage
Keeping wooden outdoor products under the shades, will maximise the life of the product.
We recommend you cover the furniture if it is to be left outside in the elements if you do not have a shaded area when not in
use. If you cannot cover it- tilt your product so that any water can drain away. Store in a cool dry place when not in use. Make
sure air can circulate to avoid moisture and mould.
Mould
Mould or mildew is a type of fungus that thrives in the damp climate. It loves nothing more than growing on your nice
wooden garden furniture. Timber is especially prone to mildew. Of you spot any mould, simply clean it off with mild soap so-
lution and dry with clean, dry cloth. Raw wood may have dotted, or striped stains caused by the blue mushroom. Use a primer
(in first year, use only transparent) for wood treatment that protects the wood from blue spots - consult at the nearest outlet
where experts will recommend the most suitable wood treatment product.
Wood is alive.
Natural properties of wood that are not considered defective:
Cracks
Wood is alive. During its life cycle cracks can occur; these are acceptable and do not affect the durability of the product. Swel-
ling and wood shrinking while drying.
Shrinking or expanding
After purchase, the wooden product continues to dry for a long time and the dimensions can drop to 5-8% of the volume.
Occasionally test the screws to ensure the stability of the product. In periods of rain, the wooden parts of product will absorb
moisture in the air and expand.
Rough surface. Although we treat wood surfaces when planning or milling, even semi-rough surfaces may appear even at the
highest level of care. Notches may show rough surfaces or slight fibre bursts.
Salt exhaustions.
If the product is impregnated with high-pressure technology, it may show white to greenish discharges. These are wood resins
mixed with impregnating agents and will disappear over time.
Core.
The core of coniferous trees is in the centre of the trunk. The wood core is not wood damage, but a natural component of
wood.
Branches and knots.
One of the characteristics of the wood is the branches / knots. When producing products for the garden, live trees with bran-
ches are used, which leaves knot places on boards.
The emergence of resins.
Your product is made from pine, spruce, or Siberian larch. These woods are characterized by resins that may appear on the
surface of the product. Resin often appears after longer periods and might not be visible during the time of production.
