General
Q. Do I need a building permit to install an Oasis Orb?
A. No. In most cases the Oasis Orb is smaller than the minimum size of structure that requires a building permit. Since building codes and special requirements may vary in some regions, it is recommended that you inquire with your local municipality to ensure are all requirements are met.
Q. What material is the Oasis Orb made from?
A. The Oasis Orb is constructed from a specialty exterior grade plywood with a high-quality fiber surface saturated with phenolic resins. The plywood below the outer face is smooth, clear and free of patches, providing a smooth surface ideal for painting. This type of plywood is water-proof and weather-resistant. When applied with exterior grade primer and paint, this product holds up much better than regular plywood.
Q. What material are the fasteners made from?
A. The fasteners are made from stainless steel or zinc coated steel to prevent corrosion.
Q. How long will the Oasis Orb last?
A. The lifespan of the Oasis Orb will be determined by its environment and how well it is cared for. By performing annual maintenance to seal the wood surfaces in outdoor applications, you could expect it to last more than 10 years. Lifespan for interior applications would be equivalent to any well cared for furniture.
Q. What maintenance is required for the Oasis Orb?
A. It is suggested to annually inspect and seal any areas of the wooden structure where your paint or stain may be cracking or pealing. By applying a fresh coat to effected areas you can ensure that water does not penetrate and begin deterioration of the wood. It is also suggested to provide a frequent general cleaning to ensure there is no buildup of soil, leaves, or other debris which could entrap moisture.
