STEP ONE

Assemble the Side Panels

NOTE: There are locking tabs located at the ends of the
horizontal rails. Once inserted and pushed into the routed
holes, they will lock into place.

1

Layout the horizontal bottom rail and insert the two long

vertical spindles. Ensure the routed holes on the spindles are

orientated correctly to eventually receive diamonds (see Figure 1).

The spindles are identified inside the notch at the top with

either the letter L for Left or R for Right.

2

Install the arched top rail over the ends of the vertical spindles

ensuring the architectural detail faces out (same as bottom rail).

3

Insert the four horizontal spindles ensuring that the routed holes

on the spindles are positioned to accept the diamonds

(see Figure 2).

4

Pressure fit the diamonds into the square area designated by

tensioning into the horizontal and vertical routed holes (four

points of contact).

Set out one post and complete the side panel by inserting it into

the post. Start with the bent top rail first.

6

Lay out the second post with holes facing upwards and insert

the completed panel and connected post.

7

Flip the trellis over and install screws into the two pre-drilled
holes per post. This will lock the horizontal rails into the

vertical posts.
