Instructions for Proper Maintenance
Your Yardistry structure is designed and constructed of quality materials. As with all outdoor products it will
weather and wear. To maximize the enjoyment, safety and life of your structure it is important that you, the owner,
properly maintain it.
If you dispose of your Yardistry structure: Please disassemble and dispose of your unit so that it does not cre-
ate any unreasonable hazards at the time it is discarded. Be sure to follow your local waste ordinances.
HARDWARE:
• Check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a non-lead paint complying with 16 CFR 1303.
• Inspect and tighten all hardware after completion of assembly; after rst month of use; and then annually.
Do not over-tighten as to cause crushing and splintering of wood.
• Check for sharp edges or protruding screw threads, add washers if required.
WOOD PARTS:
• Unprotected they will appear weathered over time. Periodic application of an exterior water repelllent or
stain (water-based) will help improve appearance and life.
• Check all wood members for deterioration, structural damage and splintering. Sand down splinters and
replace deteriorated wood members. As with all wood, some checking and small cracks in grain is normal
