Assemble Main Framework: Follow the instructions to connect the uprights and main horizontal framework.
Positioning: Choose a level and stable area in your garden for installation. Consider sunlight, proximity to planting, and general garden layout.

Recommended Care Practices:
Regular Inspections: Periodically check all fixings and joints to ensure they remain tight and secure.
Cleaning: Clean the wood surface annually with a soft brush or cloth and a mild soap solution mixed with water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove dirt, grime, or mildew buildup.
Drainage: Ensure good drainage around the base of the uprights to prevent standing water, which can prematurely affect the timber.
Optional Treatment: While the 'tanalised' treatment provides excellent protection, you may choose to apply an additional clear wood preservative, stain, or paint every few years for aesthetic purposes or to further enhance its longevity and protect against UV fading.
