GETTING STARTED
First o, allow us to say thank you for the investment you have made in our fine wood trellis. This wood trellis is designed to be
assembled and installed ideally 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.
