Troubleshooting
Assembly is difficult or parts don't align.
Ensure all parts are laid out and identified according to the instruction manual. Check that the area is level. If issues persist, review the pre-notched sections for any debris and re-verify the orientation of each piece.
Wood shows signs of fading or weathering.
This is a natural process for wood exposed to the elements. To restore appearance, clean the surface and apply a compatible garden wood stain or sealant. Reapply every 2-3 years as needed.
Lattice panels seem weak for plant support.
Ensure climbing plants are trained appropriately and secured gently to the lattice. For very heavy plants, consider adding additional, discreet supports over time if necessary.
