1. Slide the “T” joints (B) over tubes (A) and
fit moisture protection sleeves (C) as
illustrated to assemble the 8 straight
tubes (A). Slide the moisture protection
sleeve half way onto the female (upper)
joint before pushing the male (lower)
joint into it. Do not secure “T” joints with
assembly screws until you have carried
out section 5 below to allow for final
adjustments.
2. Fit the top curved tubes (D,E) in a similar
way ensuring that the “T” joints are
positioned as illustrated with moisture
protection sleeves fitted. Please also
ensure that the curved tubes are fitted
the correct way round to form a perfect
arch.
3. Connect both halves of the arch with
struts (F) by pushing the struts into
lateral (vacant) slots of “T” joints.
4. Place arch in desired location and mark
leg positions on the ground. Remove
arch and drive hole maker (G) to 0.38m
(1' 3") deep. Remove hole maker and
repeat for remaining legs. Insert legs
into holes and push home. Firm earth
around legs.
5. Carry out final adjustments to strut
positions and secure “T” joints to tubes
using assembly screws (H).
Helpful hints:
You may find it easier to assemble your
arch horizontally on its side and then
carefully stand it upright to install.
Soaking the moisture protection sleeves
in warm water for a few minutes prior to
fitting will make them more malleable
and will aid fitting.
Please note: “T” joints (B) should be
positioned either above or below the
straight tube connection points: do not
attempt to use the “T” joints (B) to
connect the straight tubes (A) together.
