Log Storage Bench

The base of this product is made of corten steel, which develops an orange-brown patina over time. Corten steel is a metal alloy made by adding copper, phosphorus, silicon, nickel and chromium to iron. When exposed to air, the material forms a protective layer of rust. This natural coating prevents further corrosion.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• 5-year guarantee.

• Corten steel is very robust, hard-wearing, weatherproof, low-maintenance and durable.

• The corten steel has a thickness of 3 mm.

• Reinforced to prevent warping.

• Products should be unpacked immediately upon receipt to release any moisture trapped inside the packaging. If the product is left in its packaging, it may develop patches of uneven discolouration.

• Always place the wood store on a flat, stable surface.

• We advise securing the wood store to a wall to ensure stability.

• Products are delivered without rust. The corten steel rusting process takes about 4–5 months, depending on weather conditions. You can speed up this process by using our rust accelerator.

• The rust can be fixed by applying Owatrol. This is a penetrating rust inhibitor that forms a protective anti-rust coating. Owatrol protects the product and stops the rust from flaking off.

• We do not recommend using corten steel within 2 km of a coastline.

• The weathering process may cause rust run-off.

• All (hard)woods turn grey when exposed to sun, rain and wind. The eventual colour partly depends on the initial colour of the hardwood.

• Wood is a natural product that shrinks or expands depending on temperature and moisture content. Regular oiling helps to stabilise the moisture content and limits shrinking and swelling.

• The guarantee is void if the product is drilled, sanded or scoured in a manner other than prescribed.

• Clean annually by hosing dirt from the product with clean tap water.
