Frequently Asked Questions

• 
• Q. Is your wooden furniture suitable for outdoors?
• A. All our outdoor furniture is designed for outdoors, some wood species are better suited to be under some sort of cover.
• Q. Which wood species do you use? 
  
• A. Most of our furniture is manufactured using Keruing wood which is a very oily, resinous hardwood.
• Q. Does that mean it can withstand the elements with no maintenance?
• A. No, there are no longer any wood species strong enough to be left outdoors fully exposed with no maintenance.
• Q. How do I care for my furniture?
  A. See Care Instructions.

• Q. What products should I use to care for my furniture?
• A. Tropic Trader Danish oil and Reviver are the products that after testing we chose as our house brand. 
  
• Q. Should I varnish my furniture?
  
• A. Never. Unless you like spending every weekend sanding it all off again when it cracks and peels.
• Q. What about Rubol?
  
• A. Although we have had many great reports about Rubol, we have had as many bad reports. We have never tested the product but believe that if the instructions are adhered to explicitly you should be able to seal your wood resulting in less maintenance for 2-4 years.
• Q. Are there delivery costs?
  
• A. We do all our own delivery and assembly in Cape Town and surrounds. All other areas are outsourced to couriers, feel free to request a quote. Please note that most of our furniture is delivered flat packed with tools and you will need to assemble the furniture yourself.
• Q. How long does it take for delivery?
  
• A. If the products are in stock we can deliver within 7 days anywhere in South Africa.
• Q. Do you provide any warranty?
  
• A. We offer a 2 year warranty if your furniture is under cover and oiled regularly, if your furniture is completely exposed we offer a 1 year warranty if it is oiled regularly.
• Q. What do you mean by oiling regularly?
  
• A. See our care instructions.

Eko Logs

Eko-Log is a new combustible product to enter the worldwide market, however, the technology behind the rice husk briquettes has been used domestically within Vietnam for over 10 years as a simple cooking fuel for the local farmers working the land and utilising waste natural product around them.

Our team at Eko-Log realised the potential of the concept and application of this product and began researching and optimising this technology to allow mass production and entry to the worldwide markets as a sustainable fuel.

The raw materials and therefore final product are 100% natural in source, using bio-waste rice husk plant material through a concise and controlled industrial process to produce the final Eko-Log briquettes.

Maintenance

To obtain the optimum durability of your new piece of furniture, a full oil treatment is highly recommended up to 3 times a year, depending on the weather conditions to which the furniture has been exposed.

Without treatment the wood will turn a natural dark grayish color. All wood species used for garden furniture will when aging turn gray with small splits and cracks in the surface due to the constant change in temperature and humidity. These small cracks and splits do not relate to the quality of the wood, as they have no influence on the durability and are therefore not to be seen as mistakes or flaws.
