Always use safe manual handling techniques and seek assistance where necessary.\n* During assembly, ensure no persons stand beneath suspended or unsecured components.\n* Use caution on ladders and work platforms during installation; ladders must be placed on stable, level ground and comply with current safety standards.\n* Do not modify any components, fixings, or pre-drilled holes, as this may compromise structural integrity and void the warranty.\n* Ensure all joints are securely fitted and fixings are fully tightened during assembly to prevent component failure.\n* Do not install during high winds, heavy rain, or icy conditions, as these increase the risk of accidents.\n* After installation, inspect the canopy to ensure it is fully stable and rigid with no movement or gaps at wall joints.\n* Conduct regular inspections (at least twice yearly) to check for timber deterioration, loose fixings, insect activity, or nesting debris.\n* Remove any signs of bird or insect nesting promptly using non-invasive deterrents to prevent falling debris or timber degradation.\n* Apply a suitable exterior wood treatment or oil periodically to preserve timber and protect against moisture ingress.\n* Ensure the surface directly beneath the canopy is slip-resistant, especially in areas prone to wet weather; apply anti-slip treatment if required.\n* This product is intended for domestic use only and must not be used as a climbing frame, load-bearing structure, or support for external items such as hanging baskets or lights unless specifically designed for that purpose.\n* Children must not play near or climb on the canopy at any time.\n* This product is not suitable for installation in high-exposure coastal environments without appropriate treatment and fixings designed for such conditions.\n* Dispose of packaging responsibly and recycle timber waste where facilities exist.\n* This product must not be burned in open air; treated timber may release harmful fumes when incinerated.\n* Keep all installation tools and components out of reach of children during assembly.\n* If this product is damaged after installation, it must be fully removed and assessed by a competent professional before any reuse.\n* Product intended for outdoor, above-head installation only—any alternative use is strictly prohibited and dangerous.\n* For traceability, retain your proof of purchase and note the product name, batch number (if applicable), and date of installation.\n",
