1/
Your
product
Properties
Aluminium
is
a
light,
resistant
material
that
doesn't
rust.
Resin
wicker
PE
(polyethylene)
is
a
recyclable
plastic
material
(polyethylene.)
Its
braiding
is
done
by
hand.
Polyester
is
a
synthetic
fabric
that
offers
good
resistance
to
tearing
and
rubbing.
Manufacturing
and
assembly
The
manufacturing
then
assembly
of
this
product
requires
leaving
clearance
between
the
different
parts.
It
is
therefore
normal
to
observe
gaps/slack
that
may
reach
several
millimetres
between
the
different
assembled
elements
(between
two
slats,
between
boards...).
This
tolerance
necessary
for
the
correct
realisation
of
your
product
can
be
behind
little
geometric
differences.
This
does
not
lead
to
any
loss
of
function
of
your
product.
Irregular
appearance
Each
product
is
manufactured
and
assembled
industrially
from
parts
whose
surface
treatment
is
carried
out
individually,
before
assembly.
These
metallic
elements
cannot
be
free
from
appearance
irregularities
coming
both
from
the
surface
treatment
process
and
assembly
operations.
The
final
appearance
of
the
product
is
therefore
directly
linked
to
these
possible
irregularities.
Regularity
of
seams
Although
we
pay
special
attention
to
the
quality
and
regularity
of
seams,
it
is
possible
to
notice
that
some
threads
are
not
cut
after
the
break
point
of
the
seam.
There
is
no
risk
of
the
seam
becoming
undone.
Cut
this
thread
with
a
simple
pair
of
scissors.
Regularity
of
the
braiding
This
garden
furniture
is
entirely
hand
braided.
The
braiding
technique
consists
in
an
intertwining
of
synthetic
resin
strands
around
a
metallic
structure.
It
is
possible
to
observe
braiding
tension
differences.
At
each
break
point,
the
end
of
the
strand
in
addition,
ranging
up
to
a
few
centimetres,
is
inserted
into
the
braiding.
If
this
strand
comes
out,
put
it
back
in
place.
There
is
no
risk
of
the
braiding
becoming
undone.
Synthetic
resin
imitates
natural
rattan.
Rattan
has
appearance
irregularities
that
give
it
its
unique
character.
The
manufacturing
process
reproduces
these
variations
in
look
and
shade.
2/
Precautions
for
use
Watch
out
for
blows
from
knives
and
other
sharp
objects
handled
nearby.
Watch
out
too
for
burns
from
cigarettes
and
from
other
heat
sources.
If
you
don't
use
your
cushions
for
a
long
period,
it
is
advised
to
put
them
away
to
avoid
possible
discolouration
during
too
long
an
exposure
to
UV
rays.
3/
Maintenance
and
ageing,
siding
It
is
normal
to
note
natural
wear
and
tear
of
the
product
over
time
and
with
use,
in
the
form
of
an
alteration
of
the
colours
and
the
state
of
the
surface,
the
mechanical
functions
and
tightening
of
the
screwed
elements.
Exposure
to
UV
rays
Over
time,
you
can
see
a
discoloration
of
the
materials
exposed
to
UV
rays
(textiles,
paint,
plastics),
a
phenomenon
also
due
to
the
rays
of
the
sun
as
well
as
those
of
the
moon.
This
evolution
of
colours
exposed
to
external
elements
is
normal
and
concerns
in
particular
bright
colours.
