NOTES
Offers and materials may not be available in all OBI stores. All information refers to Germany. Quantities and prices may not be available in all stores in Germany. The calculated quantities represent a rough estimate of requirements, taking into account typical scrap and offcut quantities and the expected costs. The calculated quantities may vary due to individual dimensions, on-site conditions, and processing methods. Additional/different items may be required for individual project implementation, and additional costs may be incurred. The project price can be optimized by selecting different container sizes/combinations. These are cash and self-collection prices in EUR, including VAT.

Working hours / Duration: The estimated working hours are only a rough estimate of the time required. The calculation is based on planning a typical project size, referring to the "sirAdos Construction Price Manual 2016" and the experience of garden and landscape contractors, including common tools. The calculation assumes that all materials and tools are already available. Deviations are possible depending on on-site conditions, personal skills, and available tools. All calculated times exclude drying times and any other break times that may occur.

OBI GmbH & Co. Deutschland KG expressly excludes liability for improper and professional installation in accordance with the instructions, as well as for the misuse of materials and tools. The construction methods listed here merely represent a recommendation for a possible approach and make no claim to general binding nature or conformity with any technical regulations or guidelines. Depending on on-site conditions and usage, modifications may be necessary. This does not affect any legal rights. Ensure personal safety during implementation and wear appropriate protective equipment if necessary. Electrical work may only be carried out by qualified electricians (DIN VDE 1000-10). Assess your skills realistically and, if unsure, be sure to seek the assistance of experienced installation assistants. Do not perform work if you are not familiar with the relevant safety regulations.
