DIRECTIONS FOR USE
MAINTENANCE DETAILS:
•
Your garden furniture is in recycled teak FSC (Forest Stewardship Council, environmental label that en-
sures the production of wood or wood-based products follows procedures intended to guarantee sustai-
nable forest management).
•
Wood is a living material. Therefore, its appearance changes over time and some cracks appear. It's
normal and this is what makes the authentic charm so appreciated of hardwood. Although robust and
weatherproof, wood furniture requires little maintenance to prolong its lifespan.
•
Every day, remove leaves, standing water and dust. Wash the stains with soapy water and with a sponge.
If your structure is very dirty, you can use a stiff brush. If possible, place your garden furniture in a shady
location to protect it from UV.
•
In spring and late summer, thoroughly clean your garden furniture and let it dry. Once panelling is com-
pletely dry, apply a thin layer of oil. Careful, make sure it won't rain during the 24h that follow the oil
application.
•
If your furniture has been very much exposed to rain, it is possible that you notice that the surface fibers
have slightly inflated and that the whole is more rough to the touch. To rectify it, sand lightly with a fine
grain sandpaper until finding a smooth appearance. Then use a wet sponge on your furniture to remove
residues caused by sanding. Once the furniture is dry, apply a coat of oil to restore the original color of
your garden furniture.
•
The oil layer is what preserves your garden furniture from stains and enables it to cope with pollution, bad
weather and mould. If you choose to let age your wood furniture, without applying oil twice a year, it will
have a pretty silver color. However, it won't be protected anymore.

It is important to take winter precautions with your wood furniture. Tuck it away from moisture, in a cool,
airy place. It is therefore not advisable to store it in an overheated room where the wood becomes too dry.
If you protect it with a cover, choose those made of polyester.
•
For stability and to avoid cross-threading screws, assemble all parts manually and start by tightening all
screws by hand. Once all parts have been assembled, you can tighten the screws more securely.
