To permanently install your arbor more securely, extend the
posts as illustrated with pressure-treated 2”x4” lumber - purchase
separately. Wood will have to be shaved down to 3 1/4 in. (8.25 cm.)
on one side to fit snugly and cut to 46 in. (116.9 cm.) in length
to fit up the inside of the vinyl posts.
Insert into the bottom of all four posts until they hit the bottom
rail of side panel. The wood should extend out the bottom of
the vinyl post about 36 in. (91.5 cm.).
Fasten accordingly with screws and install either directly into
the ground or into a concrete footing.

Move the arbor to its final location (you will need a helper).
When you are satisfied with the location, mark the positions of
the posts, then move the arbor aside and lay it carefully on it’s side.
Excavate 4 holes approx 12 in. (30.5 cm) deep.
Fasten the supplied ground stakes 3 in. into the bottom of the
post with two 3 in. screws as shown. The ground stakes should
extend 12in. off the bottom of the post.
Carefully move the arbor back into position and level it both
vertically and horizontally.
Backfill the holes with the excavated soil to cover the anchors.

Arbors must be well secured to prevent tipping over from wind load etc.
We have provided four ground stakes for securing the arbor in a
temporary application like a wedding, etc. These stakes are not
designed to permanently mount your arbor.
If you are installing your arbor on concrete or a wood deck, visit your
hardware store to purchase the appropriate galvanized bracketing
hardware.
