The bench is manufactured using Mahogany from well managed forests in The Congo in Central Africa.
Mahogany is a well known hardwood with ideal qualities for producing excellent garden furniture. It has a fine grain with occasional figue. The heartwood is pinkish when freshly cut and darkens to the typical mahogany reddish brown.
This is a moderately durable hardwood, able to resist the most inclement weather, giving a life span in excess of ten years plus if properly looked afrer, it is therefore well suited for garden furniture.
Due to the weathering process and timber being a natural material, joints will become slightly offset and surface cracks will occur. Depending on the climatic conditions when your bench is outside, this can happen within only a few hours and will not co;promise the srength of the bench, which is designed with this in mind. Using Alexander Rose timber care products will to an extent, reduce the cracks and splits.
Your furniture can be cleaned using soapy water and a stiff brush, allowing it to dry fully before the application of any timber treatment.
More severe stains such as spillages, birds droppings and mildew etc. can be removed by using Alexender Rose cleaner. Alternatively, sand using a medium grit sandpaper.
Lifting graing and cracks can be glued using a waterproof adhesive suitable for timber. Clamping may be necessary with excess glue being removed using a damp cloth. The area should be sanded once the glue is dry.
From time to time it is necessary to check and if required, re-tighten all bolts.
