Pluie et humidité
S'il est laissé sous l'eau, le mobilier mettra plusieurs jours à sécher. Rien d'anormal à cela, mais veiller à l'essuyer et é viter que
l'eau ne stagne dessus. La présence humidité prolongée accélère le vieillissement produit et favorise l'apparition de rouille voire
de moisissures.
Protection de la structure et de la visserie
L'acier est un matériau qui exposé aux éléments extérieurs (humidité, vents salins) va natur ellement s'oxyder.
Afin de prévenir l'apparition de rouille, la visserie de votre mobilier en acier doit être entretenue régulièrement. Pour cel a, appliquer
un aérosol antirouille au moins une fois en début et en fin de saison (disponibles en quincailleries ou magasins de bricolage).
Augmenter la fréquence de traitement tous les 3 mois pour du mobilier exposé aux vents salins en bord de mer.
Si de la rouille apparait malgré tout, elle peut être facilement éliminée avec des produits usuels tels que du vinai gre blanc ou de
l'acide citrique. Un chiffon imbibé de polish automobile peut également vous permettre de faire disparaitre les points de rouille.
Terminer avec un spray antirouille pour protéger la visserie, à appliquer régulièrement.
Conditions de températures
Le tissu de la toile n'est pas fait pour supporter des conditions de températures basses, encore moins des températures
hivernales, qui sont susceptibles d'altérer son état de surface. Il est également sensible à l'humidité ambiante. Il est donc conseillé
de remiser la toile dans un local sec, aéré et clos. Avant tout remisage, nettoyer et bien sécher la toile, afin de prévenir l'apparition
d'odeurs désagréables ou de moisissures.
En cas de non usage prolongé, si les préconisations de stockage et rangement ne sont pas suivies, il en résultera une détérioration
accélérée de son état de surface et de son bon fonctionnement.
Déperlance
Il s'agit d'un traitement de surface appliqué sur une matière, pour lui conférer la capacité de laisser glisser l'eau à sa surface
au lieu de l'absorber. Comme tout traitement de surface, il va disparaitre avec le temps. Il disparaitra d'autant plus vite que
la matière est exposée aux éléments extérieurs (pluie, vents salins, salissure, frottement). Il est n écessaire de renouveler
le traitement dès que la matière perd sa déperlance ou après chaque lavage. La déperlance ne doit toutefois pas être
confondue avec l'imperméabilité. Même traité, un tissu ne peut prétendre à une parfaite étanchéité, en particulier au niveau
des coutures. Sa résistance à la pluie est donc limitée. Un tissu exposé à la pluie, même lorsqu'il est déperlant, va être
mouillé et doit être mis à sécher.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
1/ Your product
Properties
Part of the frame is made up of aluminium parts (for its lightness) and epoxy painted steel parts (for its sturdiness).
Aluminium is a light, resistant material that doesn't rust.
Epoxy steel is a steel covered with a protective paint against rust.
Polyester is a synthetic fabric that offers good resistance to tearing and rubbing.
Manufacturing and assembly
The manufacturing then assembly of this product requires leaving clearance between the different parts.
It is therefore normal to observe gaps/slack that may reach several millimetres between the different assembled elements
(between two slats, between boards...).
This tolerance necessary for the correct realisation of your product can be behind little geometric differences.
This does not lead to any loss of function of your product.
Irregular appearance
Each product is manufactured and assembled industrially from parts whose surface treatment is carried out individually, befor e
assembly. These metallic elements cannot be free from appearance irregularities coming both from the surface treatment
process and assembly operations. The final appearance of the product is therefore directly linked to these possible irregular ities.
Regularity of seams
Although we pay special attention to the quality and regularity of seams, it is possible to notice that some threads are not cut
after the break point of the seam. There is no risk of the seam becoming undone. Cut this thread with a simple pair of scissors.
Water evacuation
Eyelets are present to facilitate the evacuation of water and prevent it from gathering on the cloth. It is therefore normal to
observe the running off of rain by these eyelets.
2/ Precautions for use
We cannot guarantee the good behavior of this product under difficult atmospheric conditions.
We recommend dismantling the canvas during strong winds, thunderstorms, hailstorms or heavy precipitation.
In these conditions, it is recommended not to be under or near the structure.
After each significant bad weather we invite you to check the general condition and the solidity of the structure before use.
The accumulation of water, dead leaves or objects on the canvas contributes to its degradation and to that of the structure: be
sure to clean it regularly and remove any pockets of water that may form.
We do not recommend mounting a light fixture or other heat source on the structure in contact with or near the canvas.
Watch out for blows from knives and other sharp objects handled nearby. Watch out too for burns from cigarettes and from other
heat sources.
3/ Maintenance and ageing, siding
It is normal to note natural wear and tear of the product over time and with use, in the form of an alteration of the colours and the
state of the surface, the mechanical functions and tightening of the screwed elements.
Exposure to UV rays
Over time, you can see a discoloration of the materials exposed to UV rays (textiles, paint, plastics), a phenomenon also due to
the rays of the sun as well as those of the moon. This evolution of colours exposed to external elements is normal and concerns
in particular bright colours.
Tightening
The assembly parts of your product become loose over time. Think of tightening them regularly.
Everyday maintenance
Your product is subject to external elements, it must therefore be regularly cleaned.
Remove stains immediately.
Clean with a damp cloth soaked in warm soapy water (or hot water for more marked dirt) or a specific, adapted product.
Rinse thoroughly.
Finish with a clean, dry cloth.
If in doubt, consult a reseller or the material sheet on the Hesperide.com website.
In the absence of regular cleaning your product will imperatively deteriorate.
Weather conditions (wind, rain, snow, hail, salty winds)
The outdoor furniture is designed to be used in normal outdoor weather conditions. Strong climatic hazards or exceptional
weather conditions can have repercussions on the look, correct use and lifespan of the product. It is strongly advised to use
tarpaulin with a ventilation system during the season when the furniture remains outside.
Rain and humidity
If it is left out in water, the furniture will take several days to dry. Nothing abnormal in that, but ensure that you wipe it to prevent
the water from stagnating on it. The presence of prolonged humidity speeds up the product ageing and favours the appearance
of rust indeed mould.
