GETTING STARTED
First o, allow us to say thank you for the investment you have made in our fine Arbor. This Arbor is designed to be assembled and
installed by two people with basic carpentry knowledge and tools. Do not attempt alone, especially during the installation stage.
When assembling components, place on a non-abrasive surface (ie: shipping box) to avoid scratching. We recommend a 15’ x 15’
area for unobstructed assembling. You should not need to use excessive force when assembling any components.
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED
CAUTION: PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE SHOULD BE
NO OTHER MATERIALS OR OBJECTS HUNG ONTO
THE BEAMS OR BRACES!
Please take the time to read this instruction guide thoroughly prior to the
construction of your arbor. If you have any questions, feel free to contact

Option 1
SECURING ARBOR INTO GROUND
With a helper and yourself placed on either side, raise the arbor over
desired area and press stakes into ground. This will keep your Arbor
from tipping over.
Depending on how hard your
ground soil is, you may use a mallet
to hammer down each top corner
of your arbor. Make sure to place a
piece of wood over the area where
you will hammer to avoid damage.

Wood Stakes
String
Determine the area you want to start building your
arbor. At one end of the desired area, hammer one
wooden stake into the ground, tie a piece of string
around it and measure to a length of 85 (216cm).
This is where your second wood stake needs to
be hammered into the ground. You have now set
up your wood stakes and ready to dig your holes.

STEP 2: SECURING ARBOR INTO CONCRETE
FOOTINGS
18”
(48 cm)

(15 cm)
Carefully move your arbor to the side. With
your desired area choosen, measure and
mark the location of posts and dig 4 holes,
18” deep and 6” in diameter.
Place your arbor now in the
excavated holes with a few bricks
or wood pieces under the bottom
rails to keep it level with the ground.
(Only your metal stakes should be
submerged into the ground).
With your arbor in place and secure,
pour concrete 3/4 of the way up in
each hole.
As your first pour of conrete is
almost set, backfill each of the
remaining holes with soil. Let
your concrete cure and set.
