Important Safety Notice!
Yardistry components are intended for privacy, decorative and ornamental use only.
Product is NOT INTENDED for the following:
• A safety barrier to prevent unsupervised access to pools, hot tubs, spas or ponds.
• As load bearing support for a building, structure, heavy objects or swings.
• Used in structures that trap wind, rain or snow that would create extra load on the product.
Permanent structures may require a building permit. As the purchaser and or installer of this product you are
advised to consult local planning, zoning and building inspection departments for guidance on applicable building
codes and/or zoning requirements.
Wood is NOT flame retardant and will burn. Grills, fire pits and chimineas are a fire hazard if placed too close
to a Yardistry structure. Consult user's manual of the grill, fire pit or chiminea for safe distances from combustible
materials.
Wear gloves to avoid injury from possible sharp edges of individual elements before assembly.
During installation, follow all safety warnings provided with your tools and use OSHA approved safety
glasses. Some structures may require two or more people to install safely.
Check for underground utilities before digging or driving stakes into the ground!
During assembly it is important to closely follow the instructions. Complete the assembly on a solid, level
surface and follow the instructions to square up, level and anchor the structure. This will reduce the gaps at wood
connections during assembly.
