It attracted primarily by the fact that there are no metal parts (with the exception of window hinges), and therefore make it available to everyone, who more or less owns a saw and a plane.

A few wooden beams, boards and round sticks — that’s all that will be needed for the sports complex.

If desired, after Assembly of all parts can be covered with varnish for wood NLI any furniture Polish.
