Troubleshooting

Arbour wobbles after assembly

Ensure the ground where the arbour is placed is level and firm. Check that all bolts and fixings are securely tightened. If necessary, use shims to level the base.

Timber appears to be weathering or fading

This is normal for wood exposed to the elements. To restore appearance and add protection, clean the timber and apply a suitable wood treatment or sealant designed for pressure-treated timber.

Water pooling in the storage area

Ensure the arbour is on a level surface and that drainage is not obstructed. Periodically wipe the interior dry and consider placing moisture-absorbing packets inside if dampness is persistent.

Difficulty assembling parts

Refer to the assembly instructions and diagrams provided. Ensure you are using the correct hardware for each step. Contact customer support if specific parts seem damaged or misaligned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Assembly is designed to be easy, though due to the weight (80kg), two people are recommended for lifting and positioning. Follow the included instructions carefully. Ensure the chosen location is level and stable.

Compatibility:

This arbour is designed as a standalone garden feature. It is compatible with standard outdoor seat cushions (purchased separately) that fit within the seating dimensions. No specific electrical or water connections are required.

Care:

To maintain the timber's integrity and the 20-year rot resistance, periodic cleaning and maintenance are recommended. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Re-treating the timber with a suitable preservative annually, especially on exposed end grains, will maximize its lifespan and appearance. Ensure the storage area is kept dry to prevent moisture buildup.
