Arbor 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.

Fasten the horizontal side panel rails at the intersection of each
post with 2 screws. This will stiffen your side panel.
