ANCHORING THE ARBOR
Securing the arbor is recommended. This arbor may be secured using a variety of techniques including:
1. Permanent anchoring with concrete.
2. Anchoring with gravel or sand.
3. Anchoring directly into ground.
4. Attaching to an existing structure (a deck or wall for example).
If following options 1, 2 or 3 anchoring stakes can be found in the lawn & garden or building products departments.
Use caution when moving the arbor to its final placement. Two people are required to lift or move the arbor; always
use caution.
