Quick guide from the manual
The YTTERSKÄR privacy screen is designed for outdoor use. It must be securely fastened to the ground or a railing according to the assembly instructions. The package includes pegs for soft surfaces and straps for balcony or terrace railings. Screws for hard surfaces (e.g., wooden decks) are not included; please consult a local specialized retailer for appropriate fixing devices.
Usage and safety
- Recommended for outdoor use only.
- Do not use in strong winds.
- To maintain stability, re-tighten all screws at least once per season.
Care and maintenance
Clean the screen using a mild soapy solution. Avoid using strong cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can discolor or damage the surface of plastic or metal components.
Repair
The frame features a powder coating of plastic paint. If the coating peels off, the frame loses its protection and may rust. To repair, clean the affected area and repaint it to restore the protective layer.
Storage
During the off-season, store the privacy screen in a cool, dry place indoors.
Disposal
Do not dispose of the privacy screen with household waste. Take it to a local recycling center. Contact your local IKEA store or municipal authorities for information on recycling locations in your area. Dispose of packaging materials in the provided collection containers.
