Important Care & Safety Information

Painting Required

This picnic table arrives with a temporary water-based stain for transport and storage protection only - it provides minimal protection and is not a permanent finish. Painting is strongly advised for long-lasting durability and protection from outdoor elements. Failure to follow painting instructions may impact the product warranty.

Recommended Painting Process

• Paint before assembly for easiest application and full coverage of all surfaces
• Apply minimum 2 coats of Dulux 1 Step Prep primer, sealer & undercoat
• Apply minimum 2 coats of Dulux Weathershield exterior paint
• Brush application is recommended over spray for better coverage and paint penetration
• Ensure complete coverage of all timber surfaces including edges, joins, and the underside
• Exclusive Dulux Discount: Present our trade account number at Dulux Trade Centres or Outlet stores (e.g., Inspirations Paint) for discounted paint supplies. Visit our Painting, Install & Maintenance guide for account details.

Weather Protection

During severe weather, secure the picnic table or store it in a covered area to prevent damage. Bringing smaller outdoor pieces under cover during storms helps extend their lifespan.

Adult Supervision Required

Adult supervision is necessary when children are using the picnic table. This is especially important for younger children who may not be aware of potential hazards.

Assembly Notes

• Assembly required - this product comes partially assembled in a box
• Do not overtighten screws as this can cause wood to split or crack
• Tighten screws until snug and secure, but not overly tight
• Assembly instructions and hardware included in carton

Placement Recommendations

• Place on level ground to prevent movement and instability
• Choose a well-drained area to avoid moisture buildup
• Some shade extends timber life, but ensure adequate airflow around the table
• Avoid positioning near sprinklers, as constant water exposure accelerates wear

Natural Timber Characteristics

Timber is a natural product and may develop minor cracks and gaps over time. This is normal thermal expansion and contraction due to moisture content changes. These characteristics do not affect the strength, durability, or structural integrity of the picnic table.

Maintenance

• Regular cleaning with mild detergent and water helps prevent dirt buildup
• Inspect timber regularly for signs of wear or damage
• Check screws periodically for tightness (do not overtighten when re-securing)
• Touch up paint promptly to prevent moisture penetration
• Reapply paint as needed to maintain protection
