Damage Policy

Outdoor Living UK invest heavily in packaging, and working with the best couriers to prevent damages, 80% of items are checked before dispatch to ensure we prove the best service possible. However, on rare occasions damages do occur.

When items are delivered, we require all items to be checked to ensure they have arrived safely. Any damages / faults / missing components must be reported to us within 5 working days of delivery, outside of this time scale we are unable to offer further assistance.

If damage is noticed we require an image of the damage and packaging to be emailed to us, along with your order number.

Items that have sustained minor / cosmetic damage will be subject to compensation (items that do not leak or affect water flow)

Items that have hairline cracks and small leaks will be offered a compensation cost and remedied via a resin repair kit; this is based on imagery provided.

Items that have sustained “major damage” – breakages and leaks, will be subject to replacement items, these items will be ordered in as per the original order and shipped. Components such as Solar Kits and Care kits will not be provided with secondary deliveries.

All items that are being collected by Outdoor Living UK will need to be placed in original packaging (including cardboard, polystyrene and if applicable, bubble wrap)for our collection service.

Customers who have disposed of original packaging prior to informing us of damage may not be subject to any of the above terms, and we may not be able to assist with a damage claim.

Customers with damaged goods who do not wish to have a replacement item will be subject to our unwanted items policy, or a store credit will be issued.

Water Feature Finish and Material

Most of our water features are made from Composite Resin or Stainless Steel; due to the nature of this material it is to be expected that all resin features will have “minor” discrepancies as each item is hand finished. Item can come with “imperfections” on edges and surfaces. Images are always representative of items.

Stainless Steel Items can sometimes have a "hazing" this occurs during the polishing process. - It is to be expected and will not be treated as a fault; this will not be visible during operation of the feature. If you are not happy with the item received, then this is subjective and can be exchanged via our unwanted items policy.

Stainless Steel Spheres will aways have a centre imperfection, this is where the 2 halves are joined. - Again, this is part of the manufacturing process and cannot be avoided. - when the feature is in operation this will not be visible.

Paint work. Water features are finished with Oil Based paints, over time these will fade and flake due to UV exposure. This is to be expected. – Paint finished will vary between products as all items are hand painted and finished. Painted resin features will generally have small discrepancies, including hairline paint cracks and small chips, and other imperfections.

Paint peeling – over time, exposure to UV rays and usage paint can separate from its resin underlay, this is to be expected given the nature of the material and product usage. – Paint peeling warranty claims will look to be resolved by supply / value of replacement oil paint for the end user to apply. OutdoorLivingUK recommends using a resin sealant / paint sealant on all water features, to be applied by end user. – Small and mirror paint chips will be noted on the order but may not result in any action.

Solar Systems

Solar Systems are not designed to operate for prolonged periods of time; these items should not be compared to direct mains counterparts; flow rates and performance will be less than a mains counterpart. OutdoorLivingUK reserves the right to supply Solar Systems with lesser flow rates than its mains counterpart. Solar systems are subject to and supplied with “adequate flow rates”. OutdoorLivivngUK reserves the rights to review and amend manufacture guided flowrates.

Items that have already been dispatched can be “postponed” for a fee of £10 per item. – Should an item be delivered without a customer present a photo will be taken, Outdoor Living UK regard items delivered with photographic evidence as completion of contract, should this item become lost / stolen after this delivery Outdoor Living UK is exempt from any further obligations.
