SECURITY
TOOLS AND MATERIALS:
Although all pieces of wood have been sanded during production, wood splinters can
always occur. Therefore, be careful when handling the pieces of wood. Always wear gloves,
safety goggles and long sleeves during installation or maintenance. Use caution when using
hand or power tools. Do not assemble the garden house if any parts are missing. Damage
that would result from a lengthy assembly process will not be accepted by the company.
WORKING ON A LADDER OR ROOF:
Use caution when climbing a ladder or roof. Make sure the ladder is on a stable surface
and resting on a solid support. Don’t leave heavy or sharp objects in places where they can
potentially fall off.
WEATHER CONDITIONS:
Do not enter the lodge when it is windy or raining.
CHILDREN:
Keep children away from the work area and from ladders, tools and other parts of the
product. Do not allow them to climb on the garden house.
MAINTENANCE
RENOVATION/CONSERVATION:
Wood impregnation will extend the life of the garden house. Just as with your home, wood
staining is very important for your garden house. All wooden elements require maintenance.
In the long run, good maintenance will ensure greater comfort of use.
We recommend the following course of action: Maintenance should be carried out before
the old layer of paint or stain is completely removed. Depending on the condition of the
surface, one or two coats of paint or stain should be applied. Before doing so, sand the
boards to remove residues of previous coats.
ROOFING - SHINGLES/ BITUMEN FELT:
Do not walk on shingles/bitumen felt during sunny periods, hot weather, etc. to avoid
leaving footprints. Bitumen felt is not a permanent roofing material, but a roof underlayment
that requires a second, permanent covering, such as shingles or tiles. For a flat roof, we
recommend to cover it with an additional EPDM tarpaulin in order to prevent water
penetration and ensure a perfect sealing.
ROOF LOADING:
Remove snow and leaves from the roof. A large amount of snow on your roof can be a
source of danger, due to the risk of collapse.
