DIRECTIONS FOR USE
•
Your garden furniture is in Eucalyptus FSC (Forest Stewardship Council, environmental label that
ensures the production of wood or wood-based products follows procedures intended to guarantee
sustainable forest management).
•
Wood is a natural product. Subjected to external aggression, it may lose its shine, crack, darken...
But its quality won't be affected. To preserve the appearance of your wood, some precautions must
be observed.
•
The structure of this product is covered with a colorless oil during its manufacture. The impregnation
of the oil varies according to the wood species. A small residue may remain. Be sure to remove it
with a rag before first use. You don't need to put oil on your new garden furniture, you can wait until
the end of summer.
•
Wood is a living material. Therefore, its appearance changes over time and some cracks appear.
It's normal and this is what makes the authentic charm so appreciated of hardwood. Although robust
and weatherproof, wood furniture requires little maintenance to prolong its lifespan.
MAINTENANCE DETAILS :
•
Every day, remove leaves, standing water and dust. Wash the stains with soapy water and with a
sponge. If your structure is very dirty, you can use a stiff brush. If possible, place your garden furni-
ture in a shady location to protect it from UV.
•
Clean the rope with a soft cloth and soapy water. Rinse with clean water. Don't use abrasive clea-
ning products.
•
In spring and late summer, thoroughly clean your garden furniture and let it dry. Once panelling is
completely dry, apply a thin layer of oil. Careful, make sure it won't rain during the 24h that follow
the oil application.
•
The oil layer is what preserves your garden furniture from stains and enables it to cope with pollu-
tion, bad weather and mould. If you choose to let age your wood furniture, without applying oil twice
a year, it will have a pretty silver color. However, it won't be protected anymore.
•
If your furniture has been very much exposed to rain, it is possible that you notice that the surface
fibers have slightly inflated and that the whole is more rough to the touch. To rectify it, sand lightly
with a fine grain sandpaper until finding a smooth appearance. Then use a wet sponge on your fur-
niture to remove residues caused by sanding. Once the furniture is dry, apply a coat of oil to restore
the original color of your garden furniture.
