by a tarpaulin with a ven la on system. A protec ve tarpaulin in fact reduces the impact of external aggressions (damage due to trees,
animals, pollu on,...) over its lifespan. If the floor is damp, it is advised to insert a wedge between the floor and the feet to avoid a transfer of
humidity. In the event of a table that spends winter outside, g iving a slight angle also prevents water and dead leaves collec ng on the
tarpaulin. Whatever the solu on retained, clean and dry the products well to prevent the appearance of unpleasant odours and mould.
In the event of prolonged non-use, if the storage and dying away recommenda ons are not followed, the result will be an accelerated
deteriora on to its surface condi on and its correct opera ng.
Maintenance of acacia
It's a natural material that lives and will therefore evolve ov er me and from exposure to bad weather and UV rays. You can c hoose to treat it
regularly to keep its original shade or let it age naturally. I f you let it evolve, it will veer to grey/green tones and li le cracks may appear. These
changes are normal and do not affect the resistance or durabili ty of the furniture.
To keep the original shade you h ave to treat acacia with protec ve oil once to twice a year. Clean furniture with a hard brush and hot soapy
water or a jet keeping the recommended distance before any trea tment. Do not use high pressure jet. First of all sand the table with coarse
grain sandpaper then fine grain sandpaper to obtain an even surface condi on. Apply the oil by carefully respec ng the oil manufacturer's
instruc ons. Leave to dry, remo ve the excess oil with a cloth. Apply a second coat if the oil manufacturer recommends it.
Protec on of the screws and bolts
Steel is a material that exposed to external elements (humidity, salty winds) will naturally oxidise. To prevent the appearanc e of rust, our steel
furniture is delivered original with an Epoxy treatment. However this layer gradually disappears under the effect of external elements and must
be renewed regularly. For this, apply an an -rust aerosol at least once at the beginning and end of the season (available in hardware shops or
DIY shops). Increase the treatment frequency every 3 months for furniture exposed to salty sea winds.
The screws and bolts must also be the subject of such a treatment.
If the rust appears despite all that, it can easily be treated and removed with the usual products such as white vinegar or citric acid. A cloth
soaked with car polish can also allow you to remove the rust spots. Finish with an an -rust spray to protect the furniture, to apply regularly.
