Arbors must be well secured to prevent tipping over from wind load,
etc. We have provided four ground
mounting extensions
for
securing the arbor in
a temporary application like a wedding, etc.
These
extensions
are not designed to permanently mount your
arbor. If you are installing your
arbor on concrete or a wood deck, visit
your hardware store to
purchase the appropriate galvanized
bracketing hardware.
