MAINTENANCE
• The wood of the cabin has been treated by an autoclave, a system that allows deep impregnation all
the way to the core of the wood, unlike other more superficial treatment techniques such as soaking.
This process protects the wood from attack by insects and rotting due to moisture.
• Wood is a living material that never fully stops shifting, which can lead to certain deformations (slightly
twisted or warped wood), cracks, knots and pockets of resin. It can also lose its shine or turn grey. This
is normal, and does not compromise the longevity and solidity of your cabin. The application of wood
pulp can be a simple solution.
• We recommend treating the cabin twice a year with an outdoor wood preservative.
• In order to care for your garden cabin as well as possible, we advise you to regularly maintain the
doors by greasing the hinges. Be careful not to let the doors slam in the wind.
• Ensure and maintain good ventilation.
• Wash the cabin with a garden hose or non-abrasive detergent. Do not use hard brushes or abrasive
cleaners, including degreasers and acetone or oil-based cleaning solutions, as they can stain or da-
mage the cabin.
• Avoid the accumulation of dead leaves and snow on the roof of the cabin. Too much weight on the
roof can damage the cabin and make it unsafe to use. Clean it regularly using a long-handled broom
with soft bristles.
• Do not store heavy objects against the wall as they may deform the structure.
• Watch for the possible development of moss or mould at the base or on the walls, especially on ex-
posed areas facing north. Remove it if necessary.
• Periodically check the structure of your cabin. Make sure that the screws are tight and do not protrude.
Without care and maintenance, the cabin may tip over or become a hazard. In case of damage, re-
place defective parts according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• If any parts are missing or damaged, please contact the Walibuy After-Sales Service directly using the

• If you wish to dismantle your garden cabin, follow the assembly instructions in reverse.
• Be careful, the cabin is not waterproof! Do not store moisture-sensitive products inside.
