Important Safety Notice!
Yardistry components are intended for privacy, decorative and ornamental use only.
Product is NOT INTENDED for the following:
• A safety barrier to prevent unsupervised access to pools, hot tubs, spas or ponds.
• As load bearing support for a building, structure, heavy objects or swings.
• Used in structures that trap wind, rain or snow that would create extra load on the
product.
Accumulated snow must be removed from roof.
DO NOT climb or walk on roof for any reason.
Permanent structures may require a building permit. As the purchaser and or installer of this
product you are advised to consult local planning, zoning and building inspection departments for
guidance on applicable building codes and/or zoning requirements.
Wood is NOT ame retardant and will burn. Grills, re pits and chimineas are a re hazard if
placed too close to a Yardistry structure. Consult user’s manual of the grill, re pit or chimnea for
safe distances from combustible materials.
Wear gloves to avoid injury from possible sharp edges of individual elements before assembly.
During installation, follow all safety warnings provided with your tools and use OHSA
approved safety glasses. Some structures may require two or more people to install safely.
Check for underground utilities before digging or driving stakes into the ground!
It is important during assembly to closely follow the instructions, complete the assembly
on a solid level surface and that you follow the instruction to square up, level and anchor the
structure, this will reduce the gap at wood connections during assembly.
General Information: Wood components are manufactured with Cedar (C. Lanceolata)
which is protected with factory applied water-based stain. Knots, small checks (cracks)
and weathering are naturally occurring and do not a󰀨ect the strength of the product.
Annual application of a water-based water repellent sealant or stain is important and will
help reduce weathering and checks.

Following are some helpful tips to make the assembly process smooth and e󰀩cient.
PRE-ASSEMBLIES:
(i.e. Post and Beam Assemblies, Roof Rafter Assembly, etc)
• Work on a raised, solid and at surface such as, a table or saw horse.
• Keep all connections ush where shown in the instructions.
• When assembling the beams keep parts at, straight and snug when
connecting.
METAL PARTS:
• Roong material may have sharp edges, wear safety gloves.
• Remove all plastic covering, on both sides of the metal panels, directly
before installing each piece.
• Place roong material on a non-abrasive surface before and after assembly
as it can bend, dent and scratch easily.
• The roong screws can easily crush the roof panels and roof edges when
using a power drill. We recommend hand tightening the roong screws so
they sit snug and tight to the roong material.
