fastening, use one screw per side where
ground anchor meets post. For added support
fasten screws with at least two inches vertically
between them.
Option 2 (hard ground)
Measure distances between posts and mark
ground accordingly. Pound 16” steel
L-channel ground anchors into ground
according to measurements and basic layout
(figure 2), leaving about 4 inches of ground
anchor exposed. When pounding into ground,
use block of wood to prevent ground anchor
from bending.
Slide arbor over ground anchors. Using two 1”
self-tapping white-head screws per post screw
post to ground anchor (figure 1). When
fastening, use one screw per side where
ground anchor meets post. For added support
fasten screws with at least two inches vertically
between them.
Option 3 (permanent installation)
Measure distances between posts and mark

(figure 2). Fill with cement and place 16” steel
L-channel ground anchors in wet cement. Be
