ASSEMBLY GUIDE Heartwood Grande Arbor VA68898 VER 1.
GETTING STARTED First off, allow us to say thank you for the investment you have made in our fine Arbor. This Arbor is designed to be assembled and installed by two people with basic carpentry knowledge and tools. Do not attempt alone, especially during the installation stage. When assembling components, place on a non-abrasive surface (ie: shipping box) to avoid scratching. We recommend a 15’ x 15’ area for unobstructed assembling. You should not need to use excessive force when assembling any components.

Option 1 SECURING ARBOR INTO GROUND With a helper and yourself placed on either side, raise the arbor over desired area and press stakes into ground. This will keep your Arbor from tipping over. ! Depending on how hard your ground soil is, you may use a mallet to hammer down each top corner of your arbor. Make sure to place a piece of wood over the area where you will hammer to avoid damage.
Option 2 STEP 1: DISTANCE BETWEEN WOOD POSTS Determine the area you want to start building your arbor. At one end of the desired area, hammer one wooden stake into the ground, tie a piece of string around it and measure to a length of 85 (216cm). This is where your second wood stake needs to be hammered into the ground. You have now set up your wood stakes and ready to dig your holes.
Option 2 STEP 2: SECURING ARBOR INTO CONCRETE FOOTINGS 1 Carefully move your arbor to the side. With your desired area choosen, measure and mark the location of posts and dig 4 holes, 18” deep and 6” in diameter. 6” (15 cm) 18” (48 cm) 2 Place your arbor now in the excavated holes with a few bricks or wood pieces under the bottom rails to keep it level with the ground. (Only your metal stakes should be submerged into the ground).
