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 in
a temporary application like a wedding, etc. These anchors 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.
Move the arbor to its final location (you will need a helper).
When you are satisfied with the location, mark the locations of
the posts, then move the arbor aside and lay it carefully on its side.
Excavate 4 holes approx. 10” deep. 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.

Similar to the above steps, move the arbor to its final location.
When you are satisfied with the location, mark the locations of
the posts, then move the arbor aside and lay it carefully on its side.
Excavate 4 holes approx. 18” deep, 6“ diameter.
Fill the holes iwth wet cement flush to the ground. You will need
2 bags of pre-mix concrete (purchase separately). Carefully move
the arbor back into position.
Support the arbor and level over the holes with bricks, stones or
bloacks of wood under the bottom rail of the side panel. The
post bottoms should insert themselves approximately 1” into
the concrete. Allow the concrete to set.
