Troubleshooting

Arbour feels unstable

Ensure the arbour is assembled on a level surface and that all braces and fixings are tightened securely. Check for any ground movement.

Wood appears to be weathering or fading

This is normal for timber exposed to the elements. Apply a suitable wood preservative or sealant annually to protect the wood and restore its appearance.

Storage compartment is damp

Ensure the arbour is not placed in an area with poor drainage. Allow the compartment to air out. Consider placing moisture-absorbing packets inside if dampness persists.
