This document provides assembly instructions for two different POLYWOOD products: an Adirondack chair (Models AD5030, AD5031, AD6030) and a round table (Models RCT38, RKT38). Both products emphasize a design for outdoor use, with hardware specified as coated stainless steel or stainless steel, indicating durability and resistance to outdoor elements.
Adirondack Chair (Models AD5030, AD5031, AD6030)
Function Description:
The Adirondack chair is designed for comfortable outdoor seating. Its assembly involves unfolding a pre-assembled chair frame and securing its components to create a stable and functional chair. The design appears to be a classic Adirondack style, characterized by a reclined back and wide armrests, suitable for relaxation in gardens, patios, or decks.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Hardware: The primary hardware components are coated stainless steel, ensuring resistance to corrosion and longevity in outdoor environments.
- Pins: 3/4 x 2 Adirondack Pin HDPE (2 quantity) – These likely serve as pivot points or structural connectors, possibly for the folding mechanism or backrest. HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is a durable, weather-resistant plastic, suitable for outdoor applications.
- Screws: A - 1/4-20 x 2-1/4 Wafer SHCS (2 quantity) – Wafer head screws with a socket drive are designed for a low profile and strong clamping force. The 1/4-20 thread indicates a coarse thread suitable for wood or plastic.
- Washers: B - 1/4 Flat Washer (2 quantity) – Flat washers distribute the load of a fastener, preventing damage to the material and ensuring a secure connection.
- Locknuts: B - 1/4-20 Nylock Nut (2 quantity) – Nylock nuts incorporate a nylon insert that creates friction against the bolt threads, preventing loosening due to vibration or movement, which is crucial for outdoor furniture stability.
- Tools Needed: 4MM Hex Key, Allen, T-Handle (included). This indicates a straightforward assembly process that does not require specialized tools beyond what is provided.
- Assembly Steps: The assembly is divided into two main steps, focusing on unfolding and securing the chair.
- Step 1: Unfold the chair assembly. This suggests that the main frame of the chair comes partially pre-assembled or hinged.
- Step 2: Insert (2) 2½" bolts, washers, and locknuts into pre-drilled holes, then insert pins. This step secures the main structural components, likely the backrest or leg assembly, ensuring the chair is rigid and safe for use. The diagram shows a "Correct" and "Incorrect" way to insert the bolt, washer, and nut, emphasizing the correct order and orientation for proper assembly and stability. The bolt passes through the chair's leg and a "leg" component, secured by a washer and nut.
Usage Features:
- Outdoor Use: The choice of materials (HDPE pins, coated stainless steel hardware) explicitly points to the chair's suitability for outdoor environments, capable of withstanding various weather conditions without significant degradation.
- Ease of Assembly: The inclusion of all necessary tools and a simple two-step assembly process suggests that the chair is designed for easy setup by the end-user. The "unfold chair assembly" step implies a design that minimizes complex construction.
- Stability and Safety: The use of locknuts is a key feature for maintaining the structural integrity of the chair over time, preventing fasteners from loosening during use and ensuring user safety.
Maintenance Features:
- Durable Materials: The use of HDPE and coated stainless steel hardware means the chair is inherently low-maintenance. These materials are resistant to rust, rot, and insect damage, common issues with traditional outdoor furniture materials like wood.
- Simple Cleaning: POLYWOOD products are generally known for being easy to clean, typically requiring only soap and water. The non-porous nature of the materials prevents the absorption of stains and mildew.
Round Table (Models RCT38, RKT38)
Function Description:
This document outlines the assembly of a round table, likely intended for outdoor use, complementing the Adirondack chairs or other outdoor seating. The table's design involves attaching legs and braces to a tabletop, creating a sturdy surface for dining or holding items.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Hardware: All hardware is specified as stainless steel, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance for outdoor applications.
- Screws: .27 x 2-1/2 Socket Wafer A (12 quantity) – These screws are the primary fasteners for attaching the legs and braces to the tabletop. The "socket wafer" head provides a clean finish and strong hold. The quantity of 12 suggests a robust fastening system for stability.
- Components:
- (1) Table top
- (4) Legs
- (2) Short Brace
- (2) Long Brace
- (1) Hardware pack
- Tools Needed: 4MM Hex Key, Allen, T-Handle (included). Similar to the chair, this indicates a user-friendly assembly process with provided tools.
- Assembly Steps: The assembly is broken down into two steps, focusing on the initial attachment of legs and braces, followed by securing additional braces.
- Step 1: Lay the table top on a flat surface. Attach legs to the table top and braces to the legs using (8) 2 1/2" screws. This step establishes the basic structure of the table. The diagram shows the legs being attached to the underside of the tabletop, and then the short braces connecting the legs.
- Step 2: Attach braces to the legs using (4) 2 1/2" screws. This step likely involves attaching the long braces, which further enhance the table's stability and rigidity by connecting opposing legs or providing additional support. The diagram illustrates the long braces being attached to the legs, forming a cross-support structure.
- Removable Table Plug: The document mentions a "Removable table plug included in table." This feature often indicates a hole in the tabletop designed for an umbrella, with the plug used to cover the hole when an umbrella is not in use.
Usage Features:
- Outdoor Use: The exclusive use of stainless steel hardware confirms the table's suitability for outdoor environments, providing resistance to rust and weathering.
- Stability: The design incorporates four legs and multiple braces (two short, two long), suggesting a focus on creating a very stable and durable table structure capable of supporting various items and withstanding outdoor conditions.
- Umbrella Compatibility: The mention of a "removable table plug" strongly implies that the table is designed to accommodate a patio umbrella, adding versatility for sun protection during outdoor activities.
- Ease of Assembly: The provision of the necessary hex key and a clear, two-step assembly process makes it easy for consumers to set up the table.
Maintenance Features:
- Durable Materials: Stainless steel hardware, combined with POLYWOOD's recycled plastic lumber (implied by the brand), ensures high durability and minimal maintenance requirements. These materials are resistant to rot, rust, fading, and insect infestation.
- Easy to Clean: Like other POLYWOOD products, the table is expected to be easy to clean with basic soap and water, maintaining its appearance over time without the need for painting, staining, or waterproofing.
In summary, both the Adirondack chair and the round table from POLYWOOD are designed for robust outdoor use, emphasizing durability, ease of assembly, and low maintenance through the use of weather-resistant materials like HDPE, coated stainless steel, and stainless steel hardware. The inclusion of tools and clear instructions makes these products accessible for DIY assembly.
