CARE INSTRUCTIONS

1/ Your product

Properties
Part of the frame is made up of aluminium parts (for its lightness) and epoxy painted steel parts (for its sturdiness).
Aluminium is a light, resistant material that doesn't rust.
Epoxy steel is a steel covered with a protective paint against rust.
The roof is made of polycarbonate. It is a clear plastic that lets you soak up the sun while protecting yourself from UV rays.
However, it does not protect you from the heat.
Manufacturing and assembly
The manufacturing then assembly of this product requires leaving clearance between the different parts.
It is therefore normal to observe gaps/slack that may reach several millimetres between the different assembled elements
(between two slats, between boards...).
This tolerance necessary for the correct realisation of your product can be behind little geometric differences.
This does not lead to any loss of function of your product.
Irregular appearance
Each product is manufactured and assembled industrially from parts whose surface treatment is carried out individually,
before assembly. These metallic elements cannot be free from appearance irregularities coming both from the surface treatment
process and assembly operations. The final appearance of the product is therefore directly linked to these possible irregularities.

2/ Precautions for use

We cannot guarantee the good behavior of this product under difficult atmospheric conditions.
In these conditions, it is recommended not to be under or near the structure.
After each significant bad weather we invite you to check the general condition and the solidity of the structure before use.
The accumulation of water, dead leaves or objects on the roof contributes to its degradation and to that of the structure: be sure
to clean it regularly.
We do not recommend mounting a luminaire or other heat source on the structure.
3/ Maintenance and ageing, siding
It is normal to note natural wear and tear of the product over time and with use, in the form of an alteration of the colours and the
state of the surface, the mechanical functions and tightening of the screwed elements.
Exposure to UV rays
Over time, you can see a discoloration of the materials exposed to UV rays (textiles, paint, plastics), a phenomenon also due to the
rays of the sun as well as those of the moon. This evolution of colours exposed to external elements is normal and concerns in
particular bright colours.
Tightening
The assembly parts of your product become loose over time. Think of tightening them regularly.
Everyday maintenance
Your product is subject to external elements, it must therefore be regularly cleaned.
Remove stains immediately.
Clean with a damp cloth soaked in warm soapy water (or hot water for more marked dirt) or a specific, adapted product.
Rinse thoroughly.
Finish with a clean, dry cloth.
If in doubt, consult a reseller or the material sheet on the Hesperide.com website.
In the absence of regular cleaning your product will imperatively deteriorate.
Weather conditions (wind, rain, snow, hail, salty winds)
The outdoor furniture is designed to be used in normal outdoor weather conditions. Strong climatic hazards or exceptional weather
conditions can have repercussions on the look, correct use and lifespan of the product. It is strongly advised to use tarpaulin with a
ventilation system during the season when the furniture remains outside.
Rain and humidity
If it is left out in water, the furniture will take several days to dry. Nothing abnormal in that, but ensure that you wipe it to prevent
the water from stagnating on it. The presence of prolonged humidity speeds up the product ageing and favours the appearance
of rust indeed mould.
Protection of the screws and bolts and the structure
Steel is a material that exposed to external elements (humidity, salty winds) will naturally oxidise. To prevent the appearance 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 anti-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 anti-rust spray to protect the furniture, to
apply regularly.
