Gothic Arch & Gothic Arch Connectors
Important
Assembly is different depending on how many Arches you’re connecting together. If you are connecting 2 or more Arches, it is
easiet to install them all at once rather than adding on later.
Assemble your Arches where you intend to install them.
Select a location that is protected from high winds and is away from
children’s play areas.
NOTE:
Because the Arch is heavy, we recommend securing it in concrete. If you are installing it directly into the
ground, please make sure your soil is firm.
