1. Slide the "T" joints (B) over the straight
tubes (A) and fit moisture protection
sleeves (C) as illustrated to assemble the
eight straight tubes (A). Slide the
moisture protection sleeve half way onto
the female (upper) joint before pushing
the male (lower) joint into it. Do not
secure 'T' joints with assembly screws (H)
until you have carried out section 5
below to allow for final adjustments.

2. Fit the top curved tubes (D, E) and width
extensions (I) in a similar way ensuring
that the "T" joints are positioned as
illustrated with joint/moisture protection
sleeves fitted. Please also ensure that the
curved tubes are fitted the correct way
round to form a perfect arch. The width
extensions may be cut with a hacksaw to
reduce the width of the arch if required.

3. Connect both halves of the arch with
struts (F) by pushing the struts into
lateral (vacant) slots of "T" joints.

4. Place arch in desired location and mark
leg positions on the ground. Remove
arch and drive ground hole maker (G) to

0.38m deep (1' 3"). Remove hole maker
and repeat for remaining legs. Insert legs
into holes and push home. Firm earth
around legs.

5. Carry out final adjustments to strut
positions and secure "T" joints to tubes
using assembly screws (H)

Helpful hints:

You may find it easier to assemble your
arch horizontally on its side and then
carefully stand it upright to install.

Soaking the moisture protection sleeves
in warm water for a few minutes prior to
fitting will make them more malleable
and will aid fitting.

Please note: “T” joints (B) should be
positioned either above or below the
straight tube connection points: do not
attempt to use the “T” joints (B) to
connect the straight tubes (A) together.
