FAQs
Does the market stall come pre-treated or painted?
No, the Rowlinson Bertilo Market Stall is supplied in untreated natural timber. It requires immediate treatment with a suitable wood preservative and paint or stain before outdoor use.
What are the internal dimensions of the stall?
The stall offers approximately 4m² of interior space. Specific internal dimensions will be detailed in the product's technical specifications manual.
Can the door be hinged on the opposite side?
The door placement is typically fixed during assembly based on the chosen configuration. It is generally not designed to be easily re-hinged to the opposite side after initial setup.
What type of wood is the stall made from?
The stall is constructed from natural timber. Specific wood types may vary, but it is designed for outdoor use when properly treated.
Is the serving counter strong enough to hold heavy items?
The serving counter is designed for typical market stall use, such as displaying products or serving food and drinks. Avoid placing excessively heavy or concentrated loads on it. Refer to the product manual for weight limit guidelines if available.
How long will the stall last outdoors?
With proper initial treatment and regular annual maintenance (re-painting/staining), the stall can last for many years. Without treatment, the timber will deteriorate quickly when exposed to the elements.
Can I add a lock to the door?
Yes, you can typically add a padlock or other suitable external lock mechanism to the door for security, provided it is compatible with the door design.
Troubleshooting
Wood is starting to look grey or weathered.
The timber needs re-treatment. Clean the surface, ensure it is dry, and apply a fresh coat of wood preservative and your chosen paint or stain.
Serving counter feels stiff or difficult to open/close.
Check for any obstructions or debris preventing smooth movement. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the hinges and sliding mechanisms.
Minor gaps appearing between timber panels.
This can be normal due to wood expansion and contraction. Ensure your wood treatment is maintained. Small gaps can be filled with a suitable exterior wood filler if desired.
Assembly instructions are unclear.
Refer to the manufacturer's website for potential online assembly guides or contact their customer support for clarification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Prepare the Base: Ensure you have a firm, level base for the stall. This could be paved ground, sturdy decking, or concrete.
Assembly: Follow the provided instruction manual carefully. Assembly typically involves constructing the base, attaching the walls, fitting the roof panels, and installing the door and serving counter. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly due to the size of the panels.
Treatment:Crucially, immediately after assembly, treat all timber surfaces (inside and out) with a suitable wood preservative, followed by your chosen paint or stain. This step is vital to protect the wood from weathering, rot, and insect attack.
Compatibility:
The stall is designed as a standalone structure. Compatibility is mainly related to its placement on suitable ground surfaces.
While no specific electrical components are included, you may choose to add battery-powered lighting or temporary power solutions for specific events.
Care:
Regular Treatment: Reapply wood preservative, paint, or stain every 1-2 years, or as needed, depending on exposure to the elements.
Cleaning: Clean the interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners.
Ventilation: Ensure the interior is occasionally aired out to prevent moisture build-up.
Inspection: Periodically check for any signs of damage, rot, or insect infestation and address them promptly.
