Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This product is delivered assembled. The primary setup involves placing the bench in its desired location and filling the planters with soil and plants. Ensure the ground is level for stability.
Compatibility:
Suitable for outdoor use on patios, decking, or firm garden soil. The corner design allows it to fit snugly into outdoor corners.
Care:
- Timber Maintenance: While pressure-treated, annual cleaning with mild soap and water is recommended. For extended protection and to maintain the timber's appearance, consider applying a suitable wood preservative or stain every 2-3 years. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cushion Care: Spot clean the waterproof cushions with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, remove covers if possible (check cushion label) and wash according to instructions. Store cushions indoors during harsh weather or prolonged periods of non-use to prolong their life.
- Drainage: Ensure planters have adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can harm plants and potentially affect the timber over time. Using crocks or a layer of gravel at the bottom of the planter can help.
