Assembly
NOTE: Assembly requires two people. The pieces of the
Arch are heavy. Please be careful when handling them.
Step 1. We recommend assembling the arch where you
intend to install it. Select a location that is protected
from high winds and is away from children’s
play areas. NOTE: Because the Arch is heavy, we
recommend securing it in concrete. If you are
installing it directly into the ground, please make
sure your soil is firm.
Step 2. Slide the hollow ends on the Top Side Panel
over the prongs on the Bottom Side Panel (Figure
). Repeat to assemble the other side of the Arch.
Step 3. Assemble the Arch on the ground by laying
the attached Side Panels on their sides, parallel to
each other. Examine the Arches to find the attached
loops (Figure ). Slide the ends of the Arches into
the openings in the
Top Side Panels, with
the attached loops
facing in.

Step 4. With at least two people, carefully
lift the Arch so it is upright. Make sure
the sides are straight, then press the
ends of the Bottom Side Panels into
the ground, marking it. Move the Arch
to the side and use your rubber mallet
to gently pound the Stakes into the
marked spots. Place the open ends of
the Arch over the tops of the Stakes.
Step 5. Use your stepladder to place the Braces into the loops on the Arches
(Figure ). Your assembly is complete!
The powder-coated steel Arch is weather-resistant and can be left outdoors
year-round. However, if the finish is nicked or scratched, use an exterior-grade
metal paint to prevent rust.

Oxford Arch Wings
Add dimension to your Arch with the Oxford Arch Wings. They make the
perfect entryway, or can be used as Trellises on their own. They're sturdy
enough to support vining plants such as roses and clematis. NOTE: The Oxford
Arch is sold separately.
Parts
() Wings
() Footed Stakes
() Clamps with Bolts and Nuts
Assembly
NOTE: Assembly is easiest with
two people.
Slide the Footed Stakes into the
slots on the bottom of the Wings.
Arrange the Wings against the
ends of the Arch, setting them at whatever angle
you like (Figure ). Position the Stakes so they are
perpendicular to the Wings, then push them fully
into the ground.
Wrap the Clamps around the top and bottom of
the Wings and the Arch (Figures  & ). Place the
Bolts through the holes in the Clamps, then screw
the Nuts onto the ends. Your assembly is complete!
Care
The powder-coated steel Wings are weather-
resistant and can be left outdoors year-round.
However, if the finish is nicked or scratched,
use an exterior-
grade metal paint to
prevent rust.
