Ness X User manual

A note from Ness!
Thank you for purchasing our Commercial Decorative Open Frame. I hope you get many years of
satisfactory use from it for your business.
Please read all of these instructions before you start building your frame as damage could occur if
these instructions are not followed.
It is critical you follow these instructions and warnings to assemble your Decorative Open Frame
correctly to ensure it is safe when used as intended for decorative purposes. Failure to follow these
instructions and warnings could lead to the equipment becoming unsafe or damaged or injury being
caused. The Bare Naked Wood Company Ltd will not take any responsibility for any injury or
damage caused because these instructions have not been followed.
Please follow the warnings on the next page and remember to communicate these warnings to your
customer to avoid damage to the equipment or serious injury to a person.
I have included some simple use and maintenance advice at the bottom of these instructions which
I hope you will find helpful.
Please be mindful, wood is a living material, even in its driest state. It can still respond to its
environment and be affected by temperature and humidity. Fine hairline cracks may appear over
time. Likewise the length of the timber means on occasions, there may be some minor bowing
along the length of the grain. This is normal and does not make the open frame unsafe. Naturally if
a bow develops which is severe, please contact us for a replacement part. All frames are checked
thoroughly before they leave. Please check out the use and maintenance details below for more
information.
We love feedback. If you feel we have missed something from these instructions or we could

WARNINGS
It is vitally important you bring these warnings to the attention of your
customers as part of your risk management.
WARNING THIS ITEM IS NOT A TOY: This decorative open frame is not a toy. No play value has
been added to this frame. It is merely for decorative purposes. Do not allow children (or adults) to
climb on any part of the frame or hang off any of the poles. This would cause damage to the frame
and the risk of serious injury to the person.
WARNING RISK OF FIRE: Our decorative open frame has a cover on it which has been tested in
a laboratory to ensure it has a burn rate which is slow enough to allow persons to exit the open
frame quickly. Although the frame is not a toy, the fabric has been flammability tested using the test
described under EN71 Part 2 +2020.
We advise both you and your customers keep the play tent away from any naked flames such as
candles or open fires, bbq’s, sources of heat, or electrical fittings such as mains operated fairy
lights or other electrical equipment.
We also advise no mains operated electronic equipment is used inside the decorative open frame
at any time due to the risk of an electrical fire. If you do, please conduct a risk assessment and
record your actions.
We advise you do not drape your own fabrics or affix any decorations to the decorative open frame
which could accelerate the speed of the burning flame in the event of a fire. It is important your
customers are aware of this fact should the play tents be set up by them as part of a ‘DIY’
package.
RISK OF SUFFOCATION: Please dispose of any plastic bags or packaging and keep them out of
the reach of children as they can cause suffocation.
WARNING CHOKE HAZARD: When not assembled, this decorative open frame has several small
parts which can cause a child to choke should they place them in their mouth. Therefore, please
keep the small parts away from children and store them in a safe place. It is important your
customers are aware of this fact should the decorative open frame be set up by them as part of a
‘DIY’ package.

INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS FOR ASSEMBLING YOUR DECORATIVE OPEN FRAME
CONTENTS OF FIXINGS
1 x allen key 2 x short bolts
1 x spanner. 12 x washers
6 x long bolts. 4 x dome nuts

2. Find a clear large space which is clean. If necessary, place a sheet on the
surface to keep the frame clean
3. Take the 4 legs and place them in the same position as pictured. Work with the
top of the frame furthest away from you. Note the position of the large pole holes
on each corner. This is critical for attaching the poles in the correct position shortly.

4. You are now going to fit the top bar between the legs. Take a long bolt,
place a washer over the end of it and insert the bolt into the top right hand
hole and feed it through both frames, you will see it come out the other side.
Feed it into the hole in the end of the pole. Use the Allen key and turn the bolt
in a clockwise direction to secure the bolt. You will see the end of the pole
disappear into the hole in the frame. Do not over tighten the bolt at this point.
Repeat on the left side.

5. You are now going to carefully pick up the entire frame to stand it up into
the upright position. Please do not rush. This part of the assembly requires
you to be gentle and careful with the frame.
See the photos below.
Grab the top pole with both hands and bring yourself up with the frame into an
upright position. Once in the upright position, carefully shuffle to the right and
open the legs so the leg with the large pole is positioned furthest away from
you ready for the back pole to be inserted.
Carefully shuffle to your left, and open the left legs, again ensuring the large
hole at the bottom is furthest away from you.

Ensure the large
holes at the bottom
of each opposite leg
are furthest away
from you. This is
crucial so we can fit
the second pole at
the back of the frame
to attach the cover.
6. With the frame upright and the legs opened, we are now going to fit the side
cross braces on the outside of the frame. See the photos below starting from left
to right.
Take one of the short bolts, place a washer over it and insert it through one end of
the cross brace as pictured and pass the bolt through the small hole
approximately halfway down either of the front legs. Once you have passed the
bolt through the cross brace and the leg, you will see the bolt appear on the other
side. Place another washer over the bolt. Take a dome nut and screw it onto the
end of the bolt and finger tighten it.
Now take the spanner and position it over the dome nut and hold the dome nut
and spanner still whilst tightening the bolt on the other side with the Allen key.
Repeat on the other end of the cross brace to complete it being fitted to the main
frame.

7. Now fit the other cross
brace on the other side of the
frame.
8. Your frame should now look like the photograph below. At this point, ignore
the lower pole at the back as we are about to thread this through the lace
cover.
9. Take your lace cover and hang it over the top pole with the sewn hem at the
back of the frame. Ensure the correct side of the fabric is facing outwards. The
wrong side of the fabric will be seen inside the frame.

11. (See photos below). Take a short bolt, place a washer over the end of it.
Thread the bolt through the hole at the bottom of the leg and into the end of the
pole until the pole is fixed in position. The pole will disappear into the hole in the
leg.
Repeat this on the opposite end of the pole. Now spread your cover out equally
along the pole, then dress your open frame as desired (see photos below).
Finally, go and tighten all the bolts around the frame. Do not over tighten them.
10. Take the second pole and thread it through the sewn hem at the bottom of
the lace cover at the rear. See the photos below. Thread all the cover onto the
pole but don’t spread it along the pole just yet.

USE & MAINTENANCE OF YOUR DECORATIVE OPEN FRAME
Your frame is made from a hardwood called beech. Hardwoods tend to be
more durable than most softwoods. However you still need to care for
hardwoods. Please be mindful, all wood is a living material. Even in its driest
state, it can still respond to its environment and can be affected by temperature
and humidity.
Fine hairline cracks may appear over time.You can use a simple wood filler to
fill these cracks. Simply apply a fine layer, leave to dry and sand using some
120 grit sandpaper.
Likewise the length of the timber means on occasions, there may be some
minor bowing along the length of the grain. We cannot prevent this. Each piece
of wood is unique. This is normal and does not make the open frame unsafe.
Naturally if a bow develops which is severe, please contact us for a
replacement part.
Do not store the frames near any source of heat such as radiators as this will
cause the wood to warp. Likewise, keeping the frames in a damp environment
such as a garage or outhouse will cause the wood to warp or produce mould
on the surface. The best place to store your open frame is somewhere dry with
no excess of cold or heat.
Wood by its very nature can develop a splinter if damaged. If this occurs you
can gently sand the affected area with a piece of 120 grit sand paper. The
wood may go darker with age. This is entirely natural. If you get marks on the
wood, take a warm damp cloth and gently wipe the frame and allow it to dry.
Stubborn marks can be sanded away with 120 grit sandpaper.
We recommend covers are washed on 30 degrees in a washing machine using
non-biological detergent to avoid any allergies before they are used. A
measure of anti bacterial agent can be added to kill any bacteria or viruses to
prevent the spread of infections each time the covers are washed. Covers
should be dried naturally and not in a tumble drier as this can cause the covers
to shrink.
Please note the use of a steam cleaner on the covers fitted to the frame, may
cause the frame to warp.
