A: When replacing the complete canvas, Carver tries to maintain patterns for five years. If you’re replacing only partial sections of your canvas, seek assistance at your local canvas shop.

A: High gloss exterior tables are a custom ordered table and do require regular care and maintenance. The table should be cleaned weekly with non-abrasive soap and water. To remove minor scratches and to protect the surface, use 3M Perfect-It Polish applied with a soft polishing pad. When the table is not in use it should be kept covered with a water resistant breathable cover to protect it from the elements.



A: There is no warranty coverage by Carver, or the vendor of Carver, once the table is exposed to daily temperature changes. This affects wood when it naturally expands and contracts.



A: Your exterior Teak table should be oiled with a high quality teak oil. This should be done on a regular basis. We recommend a monthly application to keep the wood from drying out. When the table is not in use it should be covered with a water resistant breathable cover to protect it from the elements.
