All products are constructed of
select quality, North American kiln-dried hardwoods (maple, birch, beech and
ash).
Kiln-drying minimizes future
wood shrinkage to ensure dimensional integrity.
The natural hardwood frame on
many of our products is unfinished. For typical camping/recreation
use (indoor storage after use),
our furniture does require finishing.
We do not recommend that our
products be stored outdoors. If subjected to use that involves repeated
cycles of rain and sun exposure,
we suggest the use of penetrating wood finish. For those products that are
factory
treated with Cuprinol® wood
preservative, we suggest recoating occasionally as use and surface conditions
may dictate. Treated with this
level of care, our products should serve for many years of use.
Cover fabrics (unless otherwise
specified) are 100% spun polyester which is UV, rot and mildew
resistant, water repellent and
colorfast. All cover fabric many be periodically cleaned with a
mild soap, soft brush and air
dried.
Should riveted components become
loose due to heavy use or a dry environment, the bracing rivets
may be easily tightened. Using
two hammers, place one as an anvil against the head of the rivet
and gently tap the other end of
the rivet with the second hammer.
Our products are designed to
support an adult under normal use. However, they are not intended
to support the impact resulting
from falling, jumping or bouncing. Use products in a controlled fashion.
