Setup, Compatibility & Care
To assemble the bench, ensure you have a flat surface and a standard screwdriver. It is recommended to perform a dry fit of the panels before tightening all screws to ensure the spring brackets align correctly. To maintain the finish, wipe down the bench with a damp cloth and mild soap periodically. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may degrade the surface material. During extreme winter weather, it is advisable to store the bench under a cover or move it to a shed to preserve the integrity of the plastic finish.
