FAQs

What is included in the Monet Arch package?

This listing is for the arch only. It includes the main arch structure and all necessary fixings for either hard standing or soft standing installation.

How do I create a garden tunnel?

To create a Monet Arch Garden Tunnel, you will need two Monet Arches and the separate Monet Tunnel pack. Install the two arches parallel to each other at the desired distance.

Can I use the arch on a paved patio?

Yes, the hard standing configuration is specifically designed for paved surfaces like patios or driveways. It includes fittings to securely bolt the arch down.

What kind of plants are best suited for this arch?

The arch is ideal for supporting a variety of climbing plants such as roses, wisteria, clematis, and honeysuckle.

How tall is the arch?

The standard height is 213cm. For soft standing, an additional 30cm is inserted into the ground. For hard standing, there is an additional 30cm of height built into the structure itself, making it taller.

Is the arch treated for rust?

The arch is constructed from sturdy steel and is weather-resistant. While robust, like any metal garden feature, minor surface rust can develop over time and may require occasional attention.

Can I order multiple arches?

Yes, the Monet Arch is available to order in multiple quantities, allowing you to create larger structures or multiple features in your garden.

Troubleshooting

Arch feels unstable after installation.

Ensure the base is securely fixed. For soft standing, check that the legs are inserted deeply enough into the ground. For hard standing, verify all bolts are tightened securely to the surface.

Difficulty with assembly.

Review the provided instructions carefully. Ensure all parts are correctly identified and aligned before fastening. If problems persist, contact customer support.

Rust spots appearing on the surface.

While designed to be weather-resistant, minor surface rust can occur over time. This can often be gently removed with a fine-grade steel wool or a wire brush, followed by a protective coating if desired.
