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” (25 cm) 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 extensions .

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” (46 cm) deep, 6“ (15 cm) diameter.
Fill the holes with 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
blocks of wood under the bottom rail of the side panel. The post
bottoms should insert themselves approximately 1” (1.5 cm) into
the concrete. Allow the concrete to set.

5/8 in. (16 mm.) screws into the two pre-drilled holes provided on
the bottom of each post cap as illustrated .
STEP FOUR
Arbor I nstallation
Arbors must be well secured to prevent tipping over from wind load,
etc. We have provided four ground mounting extensions for
securing the arbor in a temporary application like a wedding, etc.
These extensions 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.
