ARBOR INSTALLATION 

 
Option 1 
 
Slide one 24” steel u-channel ground 
anchor (part 12) into bottom of each 
post.  Slide ground anchor until it 
meets bottom cross rail.  Using 1” self-
tapping white-head screw  fasten post 
to ground anchor.  
 
Using ground anchor installation layout 
drawing (figure 2), dig holes 
approximately 16” deep.  Set arbor in 
holes and level.  Back fill with soil 
removed from holes.  For permanent 
installation fill with cement. 
 
Option 2 
 
Using ground anchor installation layout 
drawing (figure 2), pound ground 
anchors into ground according to 
dimensions.  When pounding into 
ground, use block of wood to prevent 
ground anchor from bending.   
 
Slide arbor over ground anchors.  
Using 1” self-tapping white-head screw  
fasten post to ground anchor.  
 
Option 3 
 
Using ground anchor installation layout 
drawing (figure 2), dig holes 16” deep 
according to dimensions.  Fill with 
cement and place ground anchors in 
wet cement.  Be sure that ground 
anchors are straight and in accordance 
with dimension of ground anchor 
installation layout drawing.  Allow 
cement to dry.  NOTE: There is very 
little room for error with this installation 
method.
