STEP O N E

Insert arches into arch keystone ensuring they terminate
flush to the internal connector.
Fasten the top of the arches to the keystone insert by
installing 2 1/2 in. (6.4 cm.) screws into the two flanges on
either side of the top of the insert.
Invert the arch system and install two screws 2 1/2 in. (6.4 cm.)
from the bottom of the keystone into the two 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 keystone by inserting thebottom
plate asprovided.
Install the top cap on the arch keystone. Ensure keystone
cap is pushed 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 outinside the arches. There are“locking tabs”located
at each end of these rafters that once inserted into the holes
will lock into place.

STEP THREE
Move the side panels to their al location(you will need a helper).
When you have identi d the location of each post,as indicated
by the measurements on the t page of these instructions,
mark the positions of the posts, then move the panels aside.
Excavate four holes approx 33 in.(83.8 cm.) deep. The location and
e xcavation of these four holes is the most critical step and should
be completed with care. The depth of these holes will allow the
post extension (if chosen as option) joint to be hidden 3 in.(7.6 cm.)
under the ground.
Carefully move the side panels back into position and level
both horizontal and vertically.
Check your measurements to posts are placed
correctly to receive arch system. THIS IS A CRITICAL STEP.
