To permanently install your arbor more securely, extend the
posts as illustrated with pressure-treated lumber - purchase
separately. Wood will have to be shaved down to 1 1/4 in. x 1 1/4 in.
(3.12 cm. x 3.12 cm.) 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.

STEP FOUR
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 3 in. (7.6 cm) deep. Carefully move the arbor
back into position and level it both vertically and horizontally.
Drive the four ground anchoring stakes through the oval hole
at the bottom of the posts in the ground.
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 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.

STEP THREE
Connect Arch System to Side Panels
Set out both side panels 42 in. (106.7) opening between inside
of posts), ensuring that the oval holes at the bottom of the posts
face outwards.
Place the assembled arch over the side panels and push down until
the post tops bottom out inside the post caps. You will need a
helper for this step.
Fasten the assembled arch system to the posts by installing two
5/8 in. (1.6 cm.) screws into the two pre-drilled holes provided on
the bottom of each post cap as illustrated .
Face holes for
anchors outwards.
