Can I expand the composter?

What if the wood is wet when I receive it?

This can happen, and it's normal. Let the wood dry out. This won't affect the operation or warranty.

What if the wood warps or twists?

Some warping or twisting can happen. This is normal and should not affect the use or operation.

Troubleshooting

The composter is wobbly after assembly.

Ensure all screws are securely tightened and that the composter is placed on a level surface.

The wood appears wet or has mold.

This is normal, especially with pressure-treated wood. The mold will disappear as the timber dries. This will not affect the composter's use or warranty.

The wood has warped or twisted.

Some warping or twisting is a natural occurrence as the wood dries. Ensure all screws are installed correctly.
