Bench Assembly
Important Safety Information.
The benches may have to support the body weight of several bathers. It is important that they are correctly assembled; the
holes for all screws must be predrilled to prevent the timber splitting. To tighten the screws use a hand held screwdriver
or an electrically operated one with a torque setting that allows the screw to be fully tightened but not to spin as spinning
reduces the holding power of the screw.
Note the use of a good quality PVA adhesive (not supplied) will improve the durability of the benches.
Maximum loadings;
Up to 1200 mm no centre support 2 x 12.5 stone people
Up to 1800 mm with 1 extra support 3 x 12.5 stones people
Up to 2400 mm with 2 extra supports 4 x 12.5 stone people
Check benches periodically to look for signs of weakening (once a year in domestic use twice a year for commercial use)
