What type of roofing does it have?

How long is the guarantee?

Do I need any special tools for assembly?
While basic DIY tools may be helpful, the product is designed for assembly with the included fixings. Refer to the manual for a complete list of recommended tools.
Troubleshooting
Arbour feels unstable after assembly
Ensure all fixings are tightened securely. Verify the arbour is placed on a level and firm surface. Check that all panels are correctly seated according to the instructions.
Wood shows signs of weathering or discolouration
This is normal for natural timber. Apply a suitable wood stain, oil, or preservative annually to protect the wood and enhance its appearance. Ensure water does not pool on surfaces.
Difficulty in assembling panels
Refer to the assembly instructions carefully. Ensure you are aligning the tongue and groove sections correctly. If panels seem tight, check for any debris in the grooves. Two people can often make alignment easier.
Roof is not shedding water effectively
Ensure the pent roof is angled correctly and not obstructed. Check that the Superfelt roofing material is intact and properly sealed. If water is pooling, re-evaluate the arbour's levelness.
