FAQs
Is the storage box waterproof?
The solid fir wood offers some resistance to moisture, but the box itself is not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a waterproof cover, especially in prolonged wet weather, to protect the contents and the wood.
What is the warranty period?
The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.
Can this box be locked?
The product description does not specify a locking mechanism. It is designed for storage, not for high-security purposes.
How much weight can the storage box hold?
The product specifications do not provide a weight limit. However, due to its solid wood construction, it is designed to hold substantial garden items like cushions and toys.
Does the wood need to be treated before use?
While solid fir wood is naturally durable, treating it with a wood sealant or preservative is recommended for longevity and protection against the elements, especially if it will be exposed to significant sun or rain.
What are the internal dimensions?
The internal dimensions are approximately 186 cm (W) x 43.5 cm (D) x 39 cm (H).
Can I leave it outside all year round?
While designed for outdoor use, leaving it exposed to harsh weather year-round without protection (like a cover) may reduce its lifespan. Regular maintenance and protection are advised.
Troubleshooting
Box does not close properly
Ensure all parts are correctly aligned during assembly and that no items inside are obstructing the lid.
Wood appears to be warping or cracking
This can occur with excessive exposure to direct sunlight or moisture. Apply a wood sealant or preservative and consider moving the box to a more sheltered location or using a protective cover.
Water pooling inside the box
Verify the slatted base is clear of debris and that the box is positioned on a level surface. Check for any damage to the wood that might be allowing water ingress.
Difficulty assembling the unit
Refer to the assembly manual and ensure all components are correctly identified. If issues persist, contact customer support for clarification on specific steps.
