Temporary Arbor Installation
Arbors must be well secured to prevent tipping over from wind load etc.
We have provided four ground stakes for securing the arbor.
If you are installing your arbor on concrete or a wood deck, visit your
hardware store to purchase the appropriate galvanized bracketing
hardware.

Permanent Arbor Installation
A
B
Fasten all four ground stakes to the base of the posts using the
provided 1 1/2”
(38 mm)
screws (2 screws per anchor) as
shown aside.
For a temporary arbor installation, carefully lift the arbor and
place into final location. Push the anchors into the ground by
pushing down on the posts. Do not step on the side panel
bottom rail as the rail is not meant to carry a load. If the soil is
hard, you may need to excavate a 4 inch
(10 cm)
holes prior,
or pour some water to soften the ground.
Ensure the arbor opening is set at 42”
(106.7 cm)
and that the
arbor is
plumb and level.
For a permanent installation, measure and dig four-8”
(20 cm)
diameter
holes, 14“
(36 cm)
deep where the ground stakes will be
located. The centers of the
holes should be a rectangular
pattern with dimensions of
44 1/2” x 15 1/2”
(113 cm x
39 cm)
Fill excavated holes with mixed concrete and carefully lift arbor
into place. Plumb and level the arbor.
Note: The posts should not be set in the concrete.
