Tools Required for Assembly
• Cordless Drill • Tape Measure
• Rubber Mallet • Level
• Stool or Ladder • Screw Driver
Move the arbor to its final location (2 people will be needed). Set the
Arbor and mark the positions of the posts, then move the arbor aside
and lay it carefully on it’s side. Dig 2 holes approximately 6" wide x
18" deep. (Figure 4.2b)
Now move the arbor back into position. Support and level the arbor
roof using two pieces of 2x4¨x8˙ wood studs as temporary support.
(Figure 4.2b)
Fill the holes with wet cement within 3” of your grade (2 bags of Pre-
Mix Concrete-Sold Seperately). The vinyl post bottoms should insert
themselves approximately 4" into the concrete. (Figure 4.2b)

Front View Side View
Push Side Panel Post untill the spacing appears even
between the inside of Post & the first Rafter with remaining
Rafters. (Figure 3.2)
Final adjustment of the posts should allow for a 69” opening
between Posts (minor variation is allowed).
Install the screw with snap cap & washer as shown in Figure
3.2.
Press fit the End Caps as shown in Figure 3.3.
STEP 4: Arbor Footing Instructions
STEP 1: Assemble the Rafters Top
Slide the Rafters through the holes in the Roof Rails in the sequence
as shown below. (Figure 1.1)
Ensure proper orientation of both the Rafter & the Roof Rails
as shown in Figure 1.2 (A & B).
To prevent the Rafters from shifting position install two screws
with snap cap and washer to both ends of Rafters as shown in
Figure 1.2 above.
STEP 2: Assemble the Side Panels
Layout the post vertically & insert the rafter t-rail in the pocket
as shown in the Figure 2.1.
Install the rafter t-rail in such a way that it should be even from
both the ends as shown in Figure 2.2.
Make sure that both pre drilled holes are aligned.
Install the pan head screw with snap cap and washer as
shown in Figure 2.3.
Repeat the same for the other post.
STEP 3: Connect the Top Half
to the Side Panels
Insert the assembeled roof rail at the top of the post as shown
in Figure 3.1. You will need a helper.
Footing into the Ground
Arbor must be well secured to prevent tipping over from wind or
other loads. Two 4 x 4" Ground Post Anchors have been provided
for securing the arbor either into the ground or a concrete footing. In
some cases it maybe acceptable to secure the arbor to an existing
structure such as a fence post. If installing your arbor on concrete
or a deck, visit your hardware store for the appropriate galvanized
bracketing hardware.
Insert the (4x4¨) 2 Ground Post Anchors into the bottom of
the arbor post and secure with screws through the
predrilled holes. (Figure 4.1)
Move the arbor to its final location (2 people will be
needed). Set the Arbor and mark the positions of the posts,
then move the arbor aside and lay it carefully on it’s side.
Dig two holes approximately 6 x 18" deep. Move the arbor
back into position and level it both vertically and
horizontally. The bottom of the vinyl posts should insert
themselves approximately 4" below the ground level.
(Figure 4.2)
Fill the holes with the excavated soil to cover the ground
anchors. (Figure 4.2)
