Lay out one bottom rail (part 6) and middle rail (part 7). Insert
the spindles (part 10) through the middle rail and into the bottom
rail in descending order as shown. Start with two 56” spindles in
the outer holes, then two 53 1/2” spindles, then two 52” spindles,
ending with one 51” spindle in the middle hole.
2
Slide a second middle rail over the ends of the spindles. Then,
take the curved top rail (part 8) and insert the spindle ends into
the corresponding holes. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the opposite
side panel.
Set out 2 posts (part 1) and complete building the side panel by
inserting the ends of the top and middle rails into the post holes
and inserting the bottom rail into the bracket. Adjust the rails as
needed to line up with the holes and the bracket. Push the rails
into the holes until they “bottom out” inside each post. Repeat this
step to complete the other side panel.
Lay out both arches (part 2) on a level surface. Using one of the
filters (part 9) as a guide, space the arches apart until the holes
in the filter line up with the “guide pins” in the arches. Run a
bead of glue around the guide pin and in the recess of each arch.

product.
Slip the trim caps (part 4) over the top of the posts. Slide the
first one down until it sits just above the top rail, and the second
one down only a few inches. Repeat this for all 8 trim caps. If you
have not purchased the optional trim kit, you will only have 4 trim caps.
4
To attach the bottom rail bracket to the post, measure a distance of
32 1/2” starting from the bottom hole and stretching down towards
the bottom of the post. Place the open end of the bracket at the
32 1/2” mark and fasten into place (with the open end facing up).
Repeat this step on each post.

Run a bead of glue on the inside lip of a pergola end cap (part 5).
Push the cap onto the end of the filter and hold it steady for a
few seconds. Repeat this for each of the remaining caps, then
allow about 15 to 20 minutes for the glue to set up. The image shown
is for illustration purposes only and may not exactly resemble this product.

Take the keystone base and top (part 11) and connect them over
the middle of the arch as shown. Make sure the pins in the base
are correctly inserted into the holes in the top. Push the two
pieces firmly together. Repeat this for the second arch. No glue
is required for this step.
Slip each locking post insert (part 3) into the bottom of each
arch. Push firmly until they “snap” into place. Again, no glue is
required for this step.
Run a bead of glue around the inside of the top of each post.
With assistance, lay down the side panels and insert the
completed arch assembly into the open ends of the posts as
shown. Again with assistance, stand the arbor up and check to
make sure the arch assembly has been completely inserted into
the posts. The image shown is for illustration purposes only and may not resemble this
Product.
Place the filter onto the guide pins. Push down firmly until it
“snaps” in place and apply pressure for a few seconds to allow
the glue to bond. Take one 4” screw and fasten each end of the
filter through the top of the arch, making sure not to hit the pins
below. Note: If your arbor is tan, use the included cap/washer
assemblies (Fig 3) along with the screws. Repeat steps 6 & 7 for
the remaining filters. The image shown is for illustration purposes only.
Make sure the arbor is secure and standing on even ground. Run
a bead of glue along the top half of each trim cap sitting directly
under the arch.

14 Determine the location for your arbor, and measure out the exact
distance between the posts as shown in (Fig. 2) on the front
cover. Once you’ve verified the measurements, mark each post
location on the ground. Note: If you’ve purchased the Aussie
Auger mounts, please refer to the their instructions to complete
the installation.
15 Dig four holes in the marked locations. For the “pro model”
holes will need to be 36” deep. For the standard model we
recommend a minimum depth of 24” to provide a secure footing.
If you’ve not purchased Aussie Auger mounts, use 5x5 treated
posts to mount your arbor. Slide them inside the vinyl posts and
fasten with screws (not included) through the bottom just below
the base moldings.
Slide each trim cap up to the underside of the arch, and press the
cap firmly against the flat of the arch. Hold for a few seconds to
allow the glue to bond. Using four 3/4” screws per post, fasten
through the post & into the arch insert just below each trim cap.
Note: If your arbor is tan, use the included cap/washer
assemblies along with the screws.
16 With assistance, place your arbor into the holes and check each
post for level. Verify the measurements between the posts, and
make adjustments as needed. When the desired orientation has
been achieved, fill in the holes. We “strongly” recommend using
concrete for this, especially if you have plans to attach a gate to
your arbor. Image shown is for illustration purposes only.
17
Brace the arbor to keep it steady while the cement cures. Make
sure to slide the base moldings down to ground level when
finished. There should be a least a 1” gap between the top of the
base molding and the bottom rail. If you have not purchased the optional
trim kit, please disregard this step.
