Troubleshooting
Bench wobbles after assembly
Ensure all screws and fixings are tightened securely. Check that the bench is level on the ground and that the planters it connects to are stable and properly positioned.
Wood appears to be weathering or fading
This is natural for timber exposed to the elements. To restore colour or add protection, apply a suitable exterior wood stain or paint. Reapply as needed, typically every 1-3 years depending on exposure.
Assembly instructions are unclear
Review the diagrams carefully. Contact Rowlinson customer support for clarification or assistance with specific assembly steps.
Small cracks or splits appear in the wood
Minor cracks are normal in natural timber due to changes in moisture and temperature. Ensure the structural integrity is not compromised. If concerned, consider filling with a wood filler suitable for exterior use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This bench accessory requires self-assembly. Ensure you have a clear workspace and follow the provided instructions carefully. Typically, this involves aligning the bench with the two planters and securing it, often with screws (check manual for specifics).
Compatibility: This accessory is specifically designed to fit between two planters from the Rowlinson Signature Heritage Range. It is not guaranteed to fit with planters from other brands or ranges.
Care: The timber is pressure-treated for protection against rot and insect attack. To maintain its appearance and further prolong its life, it is recommended to clean the bench periodically with a damp cloth. For customisation or added protection, you can paint or stain the wood. Ensure any chosen finish is suitable for outdoor timber use. Avoid harsh chemicals. Periodically check fixings for tightness.
