Decking & Site Furnishings

Low Voltage Lighting
ALL lights do not come on as expected/usual

  • Check settings on transformer to make sure nothing is wrong
  • Check power source to transformer

Individual light does not come on

  • Open fixture and check bulb
  • May be loose, adjust fit of clips
  • Replace bulb – use only same LED bulbs (take bulb with you to match)
General Decking and Maintenance
Travertine or Artistic Pavers

  • Pavers are a man-made product and therefore should be uniform and level at the installation process.
  • However, pavers are not grouted in place like flagstone, but rather sanded into place.
  • The edge of the paver area is grouted and that is what locks the surface area into formation.
  • The sanding in the body of the area will over time thin and wash away due to outdoor environments and maintenance such as washing down your patio.
  • The sanding process is straight forward and can be maintained by purchasing additional sand at any home department store and broomed onto & into the paver surface.
  • This process is not required but is recommend for obtaining a better looking & longer lasting surface.
  • Hosing down the area can also cause calcium buildup from the water which will look like a water substance on the pavers and be eliminated much like the calcium build up you get in your shower.
Barbecue Maintenance
If BBQ does not light, check gas source

  1. First, check valve inside BBQ, under grill
    • Note: this must be maintained
      • Spray with WD-40 annually
  2. Second, check valve at gas meter
    • Rain Dance exclusively uses BBQ Island for grills & accessories.
    • Please contact BBQ Island directly for assistance.
Fire Pits
If Fire Pit or Fireplace does not ignite, check gas source

  1. First, check key valve @ Fire Pit or Fireplace
    • Note: this must be maintained
      • Spray with WD-40 annually
  2. Second, check valve at gas meter
Pool Tile Maintenance
  • Brush waterline tile regularly with pool brush
    • Nylon bristles, give it a good scrubbing
  • Spray calcium buildup on tile or grout with TPS*
    • *TPS – Tile Protectant & Sealant
    • Available at National Pool Tile or pool supply stores
    • Scrub with hand brush – nylon bristles
    • Wear eye protection and follow instructions/safety
  • Do not use pumice stone as you may damage glaze on tile face
    • This will make problem come back quicker & more severe
