BEFORE YOU START
ASSEMBLY
•

all of the parts listed above. If not, contact
your retailer who will be able to help you.
•

have the right tools to hand, plenty of space

It is advisable for two people to carry out
the work
The Elite Arch is made of pressure treated and FSC certified
timber and as such is guaranteed against rot for a minimum of
15 years. However, it must be remembered that as a natural
product, timber is subject to movement and weathering as it
seasons. It is not uncommon for small splits to occur when
drying and warping when timber is allowed to dry too rapidly.
These will normally go back when humidity rises. It is nature
at work and not considered a fault.
Its colour will also change with time. A retreatment, as
required with a proprietary wood treatment is recommended.
