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.

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 flame retardant and will burn. Grills, fire pits and chimineas are a fire hazard if placed too close to a Yardistry structure. Consult user’s manual of the grill, fire pit or chiminea 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.

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.

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 first 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:

• Applying a water repellent or stain (water-based) on a yearly basis is important maintenance to maintain maximum life and performance of the product.
• 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
• Some gapping may occur at some wood connections.

Tools Required:

• Standard or Cordless Drill
• Safety Glasses
• Tape Measure
• Square

If you dispose of your Yardistry structure: Please disassemble and dispose of your unit so that it does not create any unreasonable hazards at the time it is discarded. Be sure to follow your local waste ordinances.

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 affect 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.
