General Information
• Read Instructions through carefully before beginning assembly.
• When assembling components, place on a non-abrasive surface (i.e. shipping box) to avoid
scratching.
• We recommend an area approx 10’x 8’ (3 m x 2.4 m) for unobstructed assembling.
• You should not need to use excessive force when assembling components.

STEP ONE
Assemble the Arch System
1
Insert arches into arch keystone ensuring they terminate flus
to the internal connector. Ensure that the “R” and “L” identi-
fications
protruding out of the internal connector should fit outside the arches.
Ensure that the arches are orientated properly as per illustration.
are located at the bottom of the arch assembly. The tabs

2
Fasten the arch system to the keystone by installing the small
(1 1/2 in. / 4 cm.) screws into the two pre-drilled holes provided.
3
Invert the arch system and install two small (1 1/2 in./ 4 cm.)
screws from the bottom of the keystone into the two predrilled flanges on either side of the bottom of the insert. This
will connect the bottom
of the arches to the insert.
4
Seal the bottom hole on the keystone by inserting the bottom
plate as provided.
5
Install the top cap on the arch keystone. Push down firmly
so the cap locks into position.
6
Repeat for other arch.
7
Insert arch rafters (8) into the holes on the arches until they
bottom out inside the arches. There are “locking tabs” located
at each end of these rafters that once inserted into the holes
will lock into place.

STEP T WO
Assemble the Top & Bottom Side Panels
1
Lay out the horizontal bottom rail and insert the three long
vertical spindles.
2

to complete the bottom panel.
3
Layout the other horizontal mid-rail and insert the three shorter
spindles in the pattern identified on the illustration.
4
Slide the horizontal bent top rail over the ends to complete
the top side panel to complete the top panel.
5
Set out one post and complete the side panel by inserting it int
the post. Start with the bent top rail first.
6
Layout the second post with holes facing upwards and insert
the completed panel and connected post into.
o
NOTE: Some of the horizontal rails have locking tabs located
at both ends. Once inserted and pushed into the routered
holes, they will lock into place.

STEP FOUR
Ground Anchors Installation
Arbors must be well secured to prevent tipping over from wind load etc.
We have provided four ground anchors for securing the arbor either
into the ground or a concrete footing. In some cases it may be acceptable
to secure the arbor to an existing structure such as a fence post. If you
are installing your arbor on concrete or a deck, see your hardware
store for the appropriate galvanized bracketing hardware.
A Install Ground Anchors
Insert the ground anchors into each of the post until they
reach the bottom rail.
Fasten each posts with two of the provided screws as shown.
