MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is essential to maintain the good
looks of all Stratco steel products and to ensure you
receive the maximum lifespan possible. Washing with
clean water must be frequent enough to prevent the
accumulation of dust, salts, and pollutants that may
reduce the life of the product. Stratco steel products
that are regularly washed by rain require no additional
maintenance. No Stratco steel structure or materials
are recommended for use over, or in close proximity, to
swimming pools or spas. No material that retains water
(such as dirt or paving sand) should be placed against
the columns. Care must be taken when determining
the location of Stratco steel products so that they are
not placed in close contact with sources of pollution
or environmental factors that could affect the life of
the steel. Refer to the ‘Selection, Use and Maintenance’
brochure for more information.
