Rowlinson Winchester 2 Seater Arbour Bench

Started off thinking oh no but with a little help from the wife it was easy put together and now sits proudly in the garden. It has even been adorn with bunting!!!

The Arbour arrived flat pack style, in a solid package, on a bespoke pallet boxed in with OSB, this requires a little work to break down into manageable sizes for disposal. The construction instructions were pretty good, a couple of panels needed some coaxing to get them into position and a little bit of fettling was required to ensure everything was square and plumb. Well within the capabilities of anyone that can wield a cordless driver and a carpenters saw. Take your time with the roof, do wear robust gloves as the edges are sharp. My brother and I had in unpacked and built in about 1.75 hours. The protective film coating on the roof (for transport) has proved a little difficult to remove. The addition of a little solar panel and light system completed our installation. We chose not to paint beforehand and will probably use an oil finish. Only one company had a slightly lower price but much longer delivery. Great product at a great price!

Arbour arrived on time, superbly made - I constructed it myself the next day, with no real problems.Painted it forest mushroom, and it is admired by all and referred to as 'our upturned boat.' Many thanks.
