A peace of mind knowing Tiny Homes Perth Pty Ltd (Tiny Homes Perth) provides a 12-month manufacturer’s Warranty and a 24-month structural warranty on its chassis and main frame. (NOTE: While the timber flooring of your Tiny Home is termite treated other timbers in you Tiny Homes are not, therefore an annual inspection shall be required)(the finished height of your Tiny home shall allow this inspection.)
Tiny Homes Perth provides the original Owner the manufacturer’s Warranty from the date of purchase, this includes defects of materials and Workmanship will be free from defects for this period. This shall include items applicable to the specification and quotation. (Not owner supplied / installed after delivery items) Warranty repairs must be undertaken by Tiny Homes Perth at 4/34 Robinson Road, Bellevue WA, at Tiny Homes Perth discretion repairs may be completed within 50km of Bellevue WA on site.
The warranty only applies to the Tiny Home based on:
* A suitable vehicle is used for the GVM of towing the Tiny Home
* For what the Tiny Home is designed, and its intended use
* Tiny Homes Perth DOES NOT manufacture a standard off road (an unsealed road) version of a Tiny Home.
* This includes to and from a proposed off-road site.
* It is not in a vehicle accident
* Does not include wear and tear inclusive of flooring, bench tops and fixtures
* Modification of the Tiny Home by anyone other than Tiny Homes Perth
* Does not include Stone chips / to the external and or underside of the chassis and home.
*Any consequential damage caused by usage after a fault has been recognised.
*All resilient finishes (Roofing and walls) are washed down and maintained. (This includes further sealing (painting) and or oiling of timber products) (This must be completed on a regular basis if parked / stored or located near a costal or heavy industrial site.)
Note: Timber is a natural product and based on its method of drying (natural or mechanical) natural cracks / splitting, warping, expansion of joins, fading of finish may occur both interior and exterior applications.
*Cleaning of Painted and or Polished Bench top (Timber) Treat spills and smears while they are fresh. Wipe spot with a soft damp cloth (a microfiber cloth is preferred) and dry with a soft towel. Avoid over-wetting cabinets and tops. Clean cupboard doors and tops one small area at a time, using a circular motion. For stubborn spots, use a mild, paint-safe cleaning solution. Make your own cleaning painted cabinets cleaner with a few drops of neutral nonacidic dishwashing liquid and warm water. Test any solution in a less visible area first. NEVER USE THESE ON PAINTED OR POLISHED DOORS and BENCH TOPS: Magic Eraser or similar sponge / Abrasive powder or scrubbing pads or sponges / Cleaners with abrasive particles, harsh detergents or ammonia / Oil soap, spray polishes containing silicone, petroleum products, or wax / Citrus/orange cleaner.
*If your Tiny Home is placed in storage or used infrequently it is suggested ventilation and or opening on a regular basis to ventilate is required as natural timber products inclusive of flooring are not resistant to high and low temperatures causing natural cracks / splitting, warping, expansion of joins, fading of finish may occur both interior and exterior applications.
.
*Note: Hot dipped Galvanized trailers do not offer a refined finish, this is a dipping process, while care is taken this is performed by a third party and not the control of Tiny Homes Perth. While Tiny Homes Perth sand to make tidy the finish shall remain unrefined.
Note: Unpainted trailers (pre-galvanized materials) shall have welds primed and painted Silver to complete. As this is not a complete paint / sealed system maintenance may be required to maintain the required finish. Any spot corrosion shall not change the integral strength of the materials.
*External timber doors need to be further protected via the owner upon storage or use of the Tiny Home from the direct weather. Tiny Homes Perth can NOT gain a warranty from the supplier without the protection. Tiny Homes Perth suggest a Fibre glass covered door to provide a warranty. (No dark colours to be applied to the door)
*Tiny Homes Perth provide an exit point for Grey and Black water (Kitchen Sink) only to one point; it is the owners reasonability to connect the right sized pipe work and fittings (if applicable) to redirect away from the Tiny Home with consideration of health requirements.
*If a compost toilet is installed, read the instructions of its use and disposal of soiled materials, this includes the liquid waste pipe, install the supplied stick on information for other users to read.
*Note: If a Compost toilet is installed read the installation and maintenance manual for tips on how to use. For a Compost toilet This is very important to understand how it works.
*Regular maintenance of your Tiny Home (Caravan) is required at 300km and every 5000km thereafter. All nuts in the wheels, coupling, springs and axle nuts must be checked for tension. Wheel bearings must be checked and adjusted for correct tension. Please note: the correct tension must be applied to the wheel bearings as under or over tightening will result in damage to the axle and/or hubs. This is the customer / buyer / owner’s responsibility and failure to do so will render the warranty VOID.
General: The following is general information not advice and is to be considered at the owner’s discretion.
Note: While your Tiny Home is being constructed make yourself familiar with the intended tow vehicle and the requirements of a brake away system, if you don’t have a brake controller please obtain and have one installed before collecting your Tiny Home. Note: If you have not towed a trailer / Caravan before, consider available private towing courses in your local area / state.
Note: When towing your Tiny Home consider weight distribution, in theory approximate 10% of total weight to be at the tow ball end. Relocating boxed household items towards the front along with securing these items are to be considered. (Note: Tiny Homes Perth DOES NOT install door catches or restraining devices as standard, this is to be considered when towing. Tiny Homes Perth shall secure all supplied appliances (Fridge / washing machine etc. if applicable)
Note: It is the responsibility of the owner upon taking possession of the Tiny Home to Key Lock any and all openable windows higher than 1700mm from the natural ground to the breeze lock position of no greater than 125mm. Upon doing so then removing the key from each openable window to eliminate a young child from opening making it an unsafe height if they were to fall. (Alternatively, retrofit a security screen or similar that cannot be opened but will allow air flow.)
Note: White Ants. A visual inspection is required on a regular basis to manage White Ants entering if applicable to your region, if the Tiny Home perimeter is enclosed this enhances the opportunity of White Ants to enter. Your Tiny Home has no White Ant barrier therefore regular inspections are required.
Note: Solar Power. While Tiny homes Perth can provide Solar power inclusive of battery storage it is acknowledged that it is how the power is used and the orientation and shading of panels to the amount of power that can be stored and used. Monitor for several weeks through each season to understand your system’s ability allowing you to be use accordingly.
