- Weight and weight capacity
- Materials and construction details
- Key features and included accessories
- Product manuals (where available)
Common product questions
Here are some of the most common questions customers have, and where to find the answers:
Does this product have self-drive?
For lawnmowers and similar equipment, check the product specifications section on the product page. Self-propelled or self-drive functionality will be clearly listed in the features if available. If it's not mentioned in the specifications, the model doesn't include that feature.
What type of engine does this have?
For generators, lawnmowers, and other petrol-powered equipment, the engine type (two-stroke or four-stroke) will be listed in the product specifications if applicable. If you can't find this information on the product page, get in touch and we can confirm the engine type for you.
Do you sell this product individually?
Some products (such as roof racks, fence panels, or accessories) may be sold individually rather than as sets. Check the product description for details like "sold individually" or "price per unit". If it's not clear from the product page, get in touch and we can confirm whether the item is sold individually or as part of a set.
Dimensions and measurements
Need clarification on the measurements shown on a product page? Happy to help. Common questions include:
- Assembled vs. packaged dimensions: whether the listed sizes refer to the product once built or while still in the box
- Internal vs. external measurements: for sheds, storage boxes, fridges, and similar products
- What is included in the measurement: for example, whether the height includes the base or feet
- Weight capacity and load limits: how much weight a shelf, seat, or structure can safely hold
- Clearance and installation space: how much room you need around the product
- Corner-to-corner measurements: for shade sails and similar products, dimensions are measured from corner ring to corner ring
If you let us know exactly which measurement you need, we can check and confirm the details for you.
Product shape and appearance
Sometimes product photos are styled for marketing purposes and may be angled in ways that affect how a product appears. For example, a rectangular shade sail may appear more square-shaped in photos due to camera angles or background styling.
The dimensions listed in the product name and specifications are always accurate. If a product is described as 3m x 5m, those measurements are from corner to corner and represent the true shape and size.
Covers, curtains, and panel sizing
For products like gazebo curtains, awning covers, or multi-panel accessories, the dimensions can sometimes seem confusing. Here's what you need to know:
- Panel dimensions refer to the size of each individual curtain or cover section
- Overall product dimensions refer to the entire structure the panels are designed to fit
- Curtains and covers are typically model-specific: designed to fit particular frame sections of a gazebo or structure
- Multiple panels can often be zipped together to enclose additional sides
For example, a gazebo curtain might measure 214cm x 214cm per panel, designed to fit a specific section of a 4.3m (430cm) gazebo. The panel dimensions are the size of each curtain piece, not the overall gazebo measurement.
If you're not sure how many panels you need or which size is right for your structure, get in touch with the product name and we can clarify the coverage and fitment for you.
Product features and functionality
Have a question about what a product can do or what features it includes? Common questions include:
- What power source does it use?
- Is this product suitable for outdoor use?
- Does it require assembly?
- What accessories are included?
- What are the power requirements?
- Is the product sold individually or as a set?
You can often find this information in the product description or specifications on the product page. If you can't find the answer, get in touch and we'll check for you.
Compatibility questions
If you need to know whether two products will work together, or whether a specific part or accessory is compatible with your product:
- Check the product manual (available on many product pages)
- Look at the specifications section for compatibility information
- Contact us with the specific product names or model numbers and we'll confirm
Furniture covers and sizing
For products like outdoor furniture, covers are typically model-specific. If you're looking for a cover for a specific furniture piece (such as the Horizon Outdoor Corner Suite), we can recommend compatible covers based on the dimensions.
For example, the Coverit Outdoor Furniture Cover (2550 x 2550 x 720mm) fits the dimensions of the Horizon Outdoor Corner Suite. If you'd like help finding the right cover for your furniture, just let us know the model and we can provide recommendations or send you a quote.
Assembly and installation
Most products that require assembly will have this noted on the product page. For detailed assembly instructions:
- Check if there's a downloadable product manual on the product page
- Look in the Description or Specifications section
- Contact us if you need assembly information before purchasing
Installation services
We don't provide installation services. If you need professional assembly or installation for products like pergolas, gazebos, or outdoor structures, we recommend:
