Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Assembly is required for this garden bench. The product is delivered as two separate bench units, each measuring 92 x 71 x 65.5 cm. You will need to connect the gabion basket base to the wooden seat and fill the gabion with your chosen rocks or gravel. Ensure the filling material is distributed evenly for stability.

Ensure the gabion is kept firmly packed with its filling material to maintain structural integrity.
