AZEK Bench Planter User Manual
BENCH/PLANTER INSTALLATION GUIDELINES for
Arbor Collection‰ / Harvest Collection / Terra Collection
Please read all instructions completely before starting any part of the installation.
• Each AZEK Bench and Planter Kit comes complete with all hardware, fasteners and installation guide to build one complete unit (i.e. AZEK Deck Boards must be purchased separately).
Check the enclosed Hardware and Parts List to ensure that each kit is complete.
• The AZEK Bench and Planter Kits are two separate products that can be used together to build
a “straight bench” (i.e. 2 planters and 1 bench) or a “corner bench” (i.e. 3 planters and 2 benches).
• Both the AZEK Bench and Planter Kits should be installed in accordance with the installation
guidelines included below. AZEK Building Products Inc. accepts no liability or responsibility
for the improper installation of this product.
• The AZEK Bench and Planter Kits are designed to be used with AZEK Deck boards which
measure 1” Thick x 5.5” Wide. AZEK Planter is designed to be built to the size for which it
is manufactured and should not be altered in any way. AZEK Bench is 6FT at full length or
adjustable down to 4 FT. A fully assembled “straight bench” can hold up to 750 LBS.
• AZEK Bench and Planter Kits may not be suitable for every application and it is the sole
‰
responsibility of the installer to be sure that each Kit is used for its intended purpose.
Since all installations are unique, it is also the installer’s responsibility to determine specic
requirements in regards to each AZEK Bench or Planter application.
• AZEK Building Products recommends that all applications be reviewed by a licensed architect, engineer, or local building ofcial before installation. Check local code requirements
prior to installation. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please call AZEK
Customer Service at 877-ASK-AZEK (877-275-2935) or visit our website at www.azek.com.
• IMPORTANT: Make sure the DRIVE TOOL/DRILL is congured or set to use the SCREW
setting when driving and/or tightening all FASTENERS. Since most screws are designed
to seat within the cellular PVC substrate, BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO OVER DRIVE, as this
may loosen the screw’s holding power.
• SAFETY: Always wear goggles when handling, cutting, drilling and fastening materials.
• WARNING: Bench cannot hold more than 750 LBS.
