PRELIMINARIES

IF YOU PLAN TO PAINT

If you wish to stain or paint your arbor/entry, we recommend that you do so before assembly, this will make the product
easier to install. Be careful not to cover up guide marks on the rafters.

WORK AREA

Select an area close to where the arbor/entry will be installed. The assembly area should be relatively flat and open with
at least 8’x6’ of space. We recommend the use of the shipping box as your work surface to protect the arbor/entry

against damage during assembly.

STEP 1: ATTACHING THE SIDE PANELS TO THE HEADERS

Headers are designed to allow thr ee sizes of opening allowing you to choose
the size of opening that best fits your project needs.

Outside holes for a 60 1/2” opening, center holes are for 54 1/2”, inside holes
are for 48 1/2”. The diagram at right shows a 54 1/2” setting.

Drive the 3 1/2” screw through the top hole in the side panel post, the screw
should stick through about 1/2”. Place the screw point with the appropriate
hole in the header and drive the screw in the rest of the way. Do not drive the
second (lower) screw; these will be installed in Step 2.

Repeat the above process with the second side panel on the other end of the
same header.

STEP 2: SQUARING THE ARBOR

Side Panel Post

Header

This hole is to

the inside

The arbor may be squared by using a carpenter square
between the header and side panel or with the aid of a
measuring tape and careful adjustments.

A=b and x=y.

STEP 3: INSTALLING THE CAPS

When the arbor is square, drive the second
screws into the posts securing them to the
header.

Install two of the included braces using 2 1/2”
screws.

Turn arbor 180 degrees by lifting the arbor up­right and back to the ground so that the second
header is under the posts.

Repeat steps one and two, attaching the header
and braces.

Brace

Securely prop the header end of the arbor 7” off the
ground. Use a 3 1/2” screw to install the first cap
into the marked center point on top of the header.

Use the 9 7/8” spacer block and 3 1/2” screws to
install the remaining caps.
