STEP ONE
2
Insert arches into arch keystone ensuring they terminate flus h
to the internal connector. Ensure that the “R” and “L” identi-
fications are located at the bottom of the arch assembly. The tabs
protruding out of the internal connector should fit outside the arches.
Ensure that the arches are orientated properly as per illustration.
Fasten the arch system to the keystone by installing the small
(1 1/2 in./3.8 cm.) screws into the two pre-drilled holes provided.
Invert the arch system and install two small (1 1/2 in./3.8 cm.)
screws from the bottom of the keystone into the two pre-
drilled flanges on either side of the bottom of the insert. This
will connect the bottom of the arches to the insert.
Seal the bottom hole on the keystone by inserting the bottom
plate as provided.
Install the top cap on the arch keystone. Push down firmly
so the cap locks into position.
Repeat for other arch.
Insert arch rafters (8) into the holes on the arches until they
bottom out inside the arches. There are“locking tabs” located
at each end of these rafters that once inserted into the holes
will lock into place.
Install post caps on the bottom of all arches. Slide up into
temporary position until they hit the first rafter.

Set out both side panels ensuring that both side panels have
the opposite orientation (i.e. vertical slats on the lattice piece
are facing outward).
Insert the assembled arch into the top of all four posts
until the arch bottoms rest on top of the "stopper" bolts.
You will need a helper.
Pull the post caps down into final position over the posts
and fasten the arch system to the posts by installing 2 short
( 1 1/2” ) screws per post as illustrated.

STE P F O U R
Move the arbor to its final location (you will need a helper).
When you are satisfied with the location, mark the positions of
the posts, then move the arbor aside and lay it carefully on it’s side.
Excavate 4 holes approx 12”deep. Carefully move the arbor back
into position and level it both vertically and horizontally.
Backfill the holes with the excavated soil to cover the anchors.

Complete A #1 above,with the exception of excavating the holes
at least 6” wide x 18” deep. Fill holes with wet cement within 3”
of your grade (you will need 2 bags of pre-mix concrete - purchase
separately). Carefully move the arbor back into position.
Support the arbor plumb and level over the holes with bricks,
stones or blocks of wood under the bottom rail of the side panel.
The post bottoms should insert themselves approx 1/2” into
the concrete.

Arbors must be well secured to prevent tipping over from wind load etc.
We have provided four ground anchors for securing the arbor either
into the ground or a concrete footing. In some cases it may be acceptable
to secure the arbor to an existing structure such as a fence post. If you
are installing your arbor on concrete or a deck, see your hardware
store for the appropriate galvanized bracketing hardware.
BInto Earth Without Concrete Footing
C Into Earth With Concrete Footing
Optional
If you plan on attaching a fence or bench to the arbor, or in the
event of extreme wind conditions we would not recommend
using the ground anchors provided. Consider purchasing pressure
treated lumber and trimming it down to 3 1/4 wide and cutting
it into 36” lengths. Insert into the bottom of all four posts until
they hit the bottom horizontal rail on the side panel. Fasten
accordingly with screws and install either directly into the ground
or into a concrete footing.
