Step 1. Join the two Arches with the 5 Braces
provided, by firmly inserting the ends of the Braces
into the collars on each Arch (Figure 2).
Step 2. Place the assembled Arch so that
one Arch face is lying on the ground. Lay
the Side Panels on the ground under the
Arch making sure both gate collars face into
the center of the Arch (Figure 3). Attach
the Side Panels by aligning the Arch base
holes with the Side Panel holes. Using the 8
screws (4 per side) attach the Side Panels to
the Arch. Firmly hand tighten the screws.
With the help of another person, walk the
assembled arch up to standing position.

Step 3. Push a Stake into each
leg of the Side Panels (Figure 4).
With the help of another person,
firmly push the Stakes into the
ground until the Arbor is steady
and level.
For permanent installation,
or for highly windy areas, we
recommend embedding the
stakes in cement.
Essex Gate Assembly
Follow these instructions if you have purchased
the Essex Gate (sold separately).
Parts:
1 Left Side Gate (as marked on package)
1 Right Side Gate (as marked on package)
Step 1. To insure proper gate fit, the Arch must
be square. Take the left side of the Gate and slide it
into the collars provided on the front of the Arbor.
Repeat this step to attach the right side Gate to the
right side of the Arbor (Figure 4).
Step 2. Use the latch to open and close the Gate.
The Gate assembly is finished.
Care Instructions
The long-lasting powder-coated finish of our
exclusive Essex collection resembles wrought iron.
If the finish is scratched or nicked, the exposed
metal underneath will rust. To extend the life of
the powder coating and preserve the polished look
of this structure, we recommend an exterior grade
paint to repair or touch up any exposed areas.
