Quick guide from the manual
The IKEA YTTERSKÄR privacy screen is designed for outdoor use. To ensure safety and longevity, do not use the screen in strong winds. The screen must be secured to the ground or a railing according to the assembly instructions. Stability should be maintained by re-tightening the screws at least once per season.
Installation
The installation method depends on the surface type:
- Soft surfaces: Use the included pegs to fasten the screen to the ground.
- Balcony or terrace railings: Use the included straps to attach the screen to the railing.
- Hard surfaces (e.g., wooden decks): Screws for these surfaces are not included. Different materials require different types of fixing devices. Please contact your local specialized retailer for recommendations on suitable hardware.
Maintenance
To clean the privacy screen, wipe it with a mild soapy solution. It is not recommended to clean plastic or metal products with strong cleaners or abrasive materials, as this may cause discoloration or damage to the surface.
Repair
The frame is finished with a powder coating of plastic paint. If the coating comes off for any reason, the frame is no longer protected and may rust. To repair the damage, wipe the area clean and repaint it to restore the protective layer.
Storage
During the off-season, store the privacy screen in a cool and dry place indoors.
Disposal
Do not dispose of the privacy screen with household waste. Take it to a recycling center where recyclable materials can be processed safely. Contact your local IKEA store or local authority for information on recycling locations in your area. Dispose of packaging materials in the provided collection containers.
