PRELIMINARIES
ARBOR PAINTING:
If you wish to stain or paint your arbor, we recommend
that you do so before assembly, it makes the job easier.
Be careful not to cover up guide marks on top of headers
WORK AREA

1
Select an area close to where the arbor will be finally placed. While the assembled unit is not very heavy, it is
awkward to move far and requires two people to do so easily.
The assembly area should be relatively flat and open, at least 8’x6’. A lawn, driveway or wide path will be satisfactory.

CONNECTING THE MEDALLIONS TO THE HEADERS
STEP 1
We recommend installing the medallion on the header
prior to final assembly. Needle nose pliers can be helpful in holding the 1/2” nail.
CONNECTING THE BRACES TO THE HEADER
STEP 2
Install all 4 braces on the ends of the headers
into the pre-drilled holes using 2” screws.
Important note:
Placing screws into pre-drilled holes ensures proper alignment of side panels.

Connect the brace to the side panel using 2 1/2” wood
screws.
Repeat on both ends of the header.
