Unloading Of Your Delivery
Due to the nature of this product, delivery will be made to the front of the property to the nearest location. Our drivers will not carry these items inside your home or back garden. When the item is delivered on a pallet, the pallet and packaging are non-returnable and the goods can only be manoeuvred on a flat and level surface (i.e. not a gravel driveway) by a pallet truck. On some occasions the driver will split the package to assist with manoeuvring of the item. Once you are happy, we will ask you to check the condition of the goods and sign for the delivery.
Assembly
All Zest products are sold as self-assembly unless otherwise stated. Products may require the use of a drill and drill bits to pre-drill the screw holes before construction.

Excellent Product
Very pleased with the Arbour, very well made and delivered in 3 manageable packages. Only one slight disappointment that despite what the instructions stated there was no pilot holes drilled which made assembling longer to do.

Looks good - shame about no pre-drilled holes.
Delivery was very fast (especially as this was during covid-19 lockdown) + really helpful man who carried the packages into garden. I would give this product 5 stars if the instructions were clearer and there were pre-drilled holes. Without the pre-drilled holes it was frustrating to make especially as the wood was warped in places and cracked easily. Final result, with our extra reinforcements, looks good.

Great looking seat
Seat arrived on time. Wasn't able to build it immediately and when I did found the front panel a bit Saint, so it wouldn't fit. I phoned customer service who were great to deal with and suggested I sent a photo of part so they could replace it. The replacement arrived 2 days later. Have built chair and it is exactly what I was looking for, looks great. As in other reviews, pre-drilled holes would have been great. Would recommend web site. All in all, delighted!

Great looking piece of garden furniture
Delivery arrived on time, the Arbour was relatively easy to assemble my only suggestions would be that pre drilled holes would be a great idea and save plenty of time during assembly, and the pictures in the instructions could be better . That said it took two of us about 2 hours to complete. The product is of good quality and looks very impressive in the garden.

Agnes Asked:
What product should be used to 'paint' the Dorset Storage Garden Arbour?
We Replied:Dear Agnes Thank you for your question. We suggest either a Ronseal or Cuprinol exterior wood paint. The arbour however does not need a preservative as it is already pressure treated. Should you wish to contact us further or to place an order, please call us on 0121 355 7701. Thank you for using our online Q&A system. Kind regards Nathan James Dodd

Al Asked:
Is it necessary to anchor the arbour into the ground?
We Replied:Dear Alan Thank you for your question. It is not necessary to anchor the arbour into the ground as it is stable enough to stand alone. It will only possibly fall over in very high winds. I suggest sinking the feet into the ground a few inches if you have an open garden which suffers from high winds. Should you wish to contact us further or to place an order, please call us on 0121 355 7701. Thank you for using our online Q&A system. Kind regards Ellie Goodall

Sam Asked:
How is the storage box accessed, from the top by lifting the seat up or does it pull out?
We Replied:Dear Sam Thank you for your question. The storage box is accessed from the top by lifting the seat up as you suggest. It is hinged at the rear. I hope this helps.

Sharon O'Donoghue Asked:
Do I need to make a proper base for the Dorset Arbour or can I put it onto the ground and then plant around it?
We Replied:Hi Sharon Thank you for your question. The Dorset is quite heavy and needs the support of a hard standing base. Soil or turf is not good enough as, when the earth gets wet in the winter, one corner will inevitably sink and buckle. Should you wish to contact us further or to place an order, please call us on 0121 355 7701. Thank you for using our online Q&A system. Kind regards Robert Hall

Diane Asked:
I want to have an arbour on a concrete yard. There is also a slight incline. Will this be ok to do - I think they look sturdy enough to not tip over? If not, what do you recommend?
We Replied:Dear Diane Thank you for your question. We do recommend placing the arbour on a flat surface. However, if there is a slight incline, you could add more support in some way to the legs. Kind regards Lauren Bilboe

Alex Asked:

Linda Rose Asked:
I have the Dorset Arbour but can't find a protective cover, do you stock them?
We Replied:Dear Linda Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we do not offer a specific cover for this item. Your best option is to purchase a universal waterproof cover that will fit over the item. Alternatively you can purchase tarpaulin from a local hardware or DIY store and this should effectively do the same job as a cover. Should you wish to contact us further or to place an order, please call us on 0121 355 7701. Thank you for using our online Q&A system. Kind regards Zach Nicholson

Evie B Asked:
Could you clarify whether the 5' 2" width is the main body or the overhang of the roof past the side panels?

Robert Asked:
How do you remove the storage box lid when the assembly instructions show it screwed down?

Are the holes pre-drilled for assembly?
