Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack all components and hardware. Ensure you have the six provided screws.
- Identify the bench sections and the planter boxes.
- Align the planter boxes with the designated attachment points on the bench structure.
- Use the provided screws to securely fasten the planters to the bench. A screwdriver is required.
Compatibility:
The Somerset Double Planter Bench is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with standard potting soil and a wide variety of plants, including flowers, herbs, and small shrubs. The planters are suitable for plants that require moderate root space.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the bench with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt or debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Wood Maintenance: While pressure-treated, occasional reapplication of a wood sealant or stain (compatible with your chosen finish) is recommended every 1-2 years to maintain color and further protect the wood, especially in harsh climates.
- Planter Liners: Check the planter liners periodically for wear and tear. Replace if necessary to maintain the integrity of the wood and prevent excessive moisture retention.
