Troubleshooting

The timber has warped or twisted after assembly.

This is a natural phenomenon due to the timber drying out. Ensure all screws are securely fastened. This does not affect the composter's functionality.

The timber arrived wet and has some mold.

This is due to the preservative treatment or rain during transit. The mold will disappear as the timber dries. It will not affect the operation of the composter.

Double-check the instructions and ensure all screws are used. If needed, contact customer support for assistance.
