N o t e s
1A popular heavy duty, free standing unit
best made with pine or Douglas fir or
combined with larch for ground contact
members.
Designed with timber connectors only
2on bottom rail/upright joints to allow
unbolting of table-top, seats and struts after
initial assembly for transportation and
stacking units for winter storage and
maintenance. It is only necessary to include
one timber connector to the bottom end of
each of the table and seat supports.
Timber should be planed and exposed
3edges bevelled to 4mm.
4An exterior, non-toxic stain finish such
as listed on blue sheet 13.1 Timber
Protection' should be applied preferably
before assembly of the unit. 'Creosote' or other
oily finishes may stain clothing and should be
avoided. Dark brown framework and midbrown
table and seats look well in a
countryside setting.
This unit is not easily moved and
5therefore should have a hardstanding
as a base to alleviate the problem of grass
cutting round the unit.
Slightly lighter weight versions of this 6design are available from certain
manufacturers. Please contact Battleby Centre
staff for details.
