Option 1 (soft ground)
Slide one 16 inch ground anchor into bottom of each post. Slide ground anchor up to bottom cross rail. Using
two 1 inch self-tapping screws per post, screw the post to the ground anchor (figure 1). When fastening, use
one screw on each opposite side as shown in the drawing. Once ground anchors are attached to posts, push
trellis/arbor into ground. This method can also be used for installation into hard ground if area thourougly
drenched with water.
Option 2 (hard ground)
Measure distances between posts and mark ground accordingly. Pound 16 inch ground anchor into ground
according to measurements and basic layout (figure 2), leaving about 4 inches of ground anchor exposed.
When pounding into ground, use a block of wood to prevent ground anchor from cracking.
Slide trellis/arbor over ground anchors. Using two 1" self-tapping screws per post, screw the post to the
ground anchor (figure 1). When fastening, use one screw on each opposite side as shown in the drawing.
Option 3 (permanent installation)
Measure distances between posts and mark ground accordingly. Dig holes 12 inches according to
measurements and basic layout (figure 2). Fill with cement and place 16 inch ground anchor in wet cement.
Be sure that ground anchors are straight and in accordance with measurements of trellis/arbor posts. Allow
cement to dry. NOTE: There is very little room for error with this installation method.
