Trellises must be well secured inthe event of highwinds, etc. We
have provided two ground anchoring stakes for securing the trellis
eitherinto the groundor into a concrete footing. If you are
installing your trellis directly to the wall of your home,or on a wood deck
or concrete surface,please see your hardware store for the appropriate
galvanized bracket hardware.
ST EP F OUR
Move the trellis to its final location. When you are satisfied with
the location,mark the positions of the posts,then move the trellis
aside and lay it carefully on it’s side. Excavate the 2 post holes
approximately 22" deep x 6" diameter. Carefully move the trellis
back into position.
Level it both vertically and horizontally into the excavated holes.
Backfill the holeswith the excavated soil.
Note: For a stronger installation,purchase two 2x4 pressure
treated lumbers and sleeve them into the posts.Wood posts
should be inserted 4”into the trellis posts and ±24”into the
ground.
