Troubleshooting
Delivery access issues
Contact Churnet Valley Garden Furniture Ltd prior to ordering if you have restricted access for large delivery vehicles (up to 18-tonne lorry). Be prepared to assist the driver in unloading the pallet.
Wood has a strong smell
This is typical for pressure-treated timber. The smell will dissipate over time. Ensure good ventilation around the arbour.
Arbour feels unstable
Ensure the arbour is placed on a firm, level surface. Check all fixings from the partial assembly are secure. Consider anchoring to the ground if in a very windy location.
Trellis not sturdy enough for plants
Allow plants to grow and naturally weave through the trellis. For heavier plants, consider adding subtle, additional supports if necessary, ensuring they do not damage the timber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The arbour arrives partially assembled. Ensure you have adequate space and assistance for unloading the pallet upon delivery. Further assembly will be required, typically involving attaching remaining sections and securing them.
Compatibility: This arbour is designed for outdoor garden use. It is compatible with a wide range of climbing plants. Ensure the ground it is placed on is firm and level for stability.
Care: To maintain the longevity of the timber, regular inspection is recommended. While pressure-treated to resist rot for up to 20 years, occasional re-treatment or sealing of exposed surfaces can extend its life. Clean the timber with mild soap and water as needed.
