Can this arch be installed on a patio or deck?
While the primary installation method involves sinking stakes into soft ground, it might be possible to adapt it for hard surfaces using alternative mounting methods or bases, though this is not the intended setup.
Troubleshooting
Arch is unstable or wobbly.
Ensure the pointed stakes are fully and securely inserted into soft ground. If the ground is too hard, consider loosening the soil or relocating the arch to a more suitable spot.
Birds are not visiting the feeders.
Ensure feeders are clean and filled with appealing food types. Try different seed mixes or treats. Also, ensure the arch is placed in a relatively safe location away from frequent disturbances and predators.
Feeder accessories are difficult to attach.
Verify that you are using the correct hook or stake for each feeder type as indicated in the product manual. Gently twist or slide accessories into place.
Rust spots appearing on the frame.
Minor rust spots can typically be cleaned with a rust remover or fine steel wool. For significant rust, consider touching up with a compatible outdoor metal paint to prevent further corrosion.
