ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

TOOLS NEEDED

Drill with #2 Phillips Bit (recommended) or Phillips Screwdriver Ruler Hammer or Mallet

ARBOR TOP ASSEMBLY (Refer to Drawing 1) (Make 2) On clean flat surface lay one 2 x 2 x 84” left post and one 2 x 2 x 84” right post with pilot holes for screws facing up and the routed holes for ⅞ x 1½ x 22” cross rails facing inward. Starting at the bottom insert one of the top/bottom rails in the first routed slot. Continue by inserting eight of the ⅞ x 1½ x 22” center rails. Slide the other post onto the opposite end of the cross rails (do not fasten at this time). Insert the ¼ x 1½ x 59½” vertical slats through the ⅞ x 1½ x 22” cross rails. When both vertical slats are in place, gently spread the end of the panel and press the other top/bottom rail onto the vertical slats. Firmly press cross rails between posts to ensure that the cross rails are completely inserted into each post. Fasten the posts to the cross rails using the 1¼” screws, snap the screw caps over the screw heads.

ARBOR TOP ASSEMBLY (Refer to Drawing 2) With the screw caps on the side panels facing the outside of the arbor, set both side panels on there edge approximately 42" apart. Insert one of the ⅞ x 1 ½ x 16” corner brace pieces into the bottom side of the 1 ½ x 4 x 64” top rail. Working with the side closest to you, slide the 1 ½ x 4 x 64” top rail into the 4" slot on the top of the post. As you slide the top rail into its hole in the post, insert the corner brace into the ⅞ x 1 ½” hole routed in the post. Do the same procedure for opposite end of 64" rail. Flip arbor over and repeat for other 64" rail. The measurement from the longest peak of top rail to the outside of the 2 x 2” leg should be 9”. Make sure measurement of top rail is correct on both sides. Using 1 ¼” screws fasten corner braces, top rail and side panels together, snap screw caps over screw heads. Lay the ⅞ x 1 ½ x 28” top cross rails into place on top of the top rails, using the pilot holes for screws as your guide. Fasten each top cross rails using 1 ¼” screws and snap screw caps over screw heads.

FINISHING TOUCHES

Apply glue to the inside edges of the 5 ⅜” end caps and push them onto the ends of the 64" rails; do not slide from ends. Apply glue to inside edges of the 2 x 2” post caps for arbor posts and the ⅞ x 1 ½” end caps for top cross rails on arbor top. Arbor is now ready for installation (See Ground Anchor Hardware Bag).
