Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The bench is cast in 3 pieces: the seat and two legs. Ensure you have a clear, level area where you intend to place the bench before assembly. Due to the significant weight, it is recommended to have at least two people for assembly.

  1. Carefully unpack all three components, checking for any damage.
  2. Position the two leg pieces on the chosen surface, ensuring they are stable and level.
  3. Carefully lift and place the seat piece onto the leg pieces, aligning them correctly.

Compatibility:

This bench is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with most garden surfaces, including grass, patio, decking, and gravel. Ensure the ground is firm and level to support the bench's weight and prevent any rocking.

Care:

Thanks to its robust material, this bench requires very little maintenance.

  • Clean with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt or moss.
  • For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water.
  • Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washers, as these could damage the surface finish.
