Troubleshooting
Arbour appears wobbly after assembly
Ensure all bolts and screws are fully tightened. Verify that the arbour is placed on a perfectly level surface. Check for any obstructions under the base.
Wood shows signs of drying or cracking
This can occur with natural wood exposed to elements. Apply a quality wood oil or sealant suitable for outdoor use to rehydrate and protect the timber. Regular maintenance is key.
Water pooling on the roof
