FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the garden arch?
The arch stands at 230cm in height, 116cm in width, and has a depth of 30cm.
Is this arch suitable for supporting heavy plants like wisteria?
Yes, it is made from heavy-duty steel. However, for very heavy or mature climbing plants, ensuring it is very securely anchored into the ground with the included pegs (or additional supports) is recommended for optimal stability.
How long does assembly typically take?
Assembly is designed to be fast and hassle-free, typically taking a short amount of time due to the simple slot-together construction with secure screw fixings. Full instructions are provided.
Will the black finish fade in sunlight?
The black finish is designed for outdoor use. While most finishes can show wear over extended periods of intense sunlight, it is generally durable. Regular cleaning and care will help maintain its appearance.
Can this arch be used in windy locations?
Yes, it includes steel pegs for added stability. For very exposed or windy areas, it is advisable to ensure the pegs are deeply and securely inserted into the ground.
What material is the arch made from?
The arch is constructed from heavy-duty steel.
Does it come with instructions?
Yes, full instructions for setup are included with the product.
Troubleshooting
Arch is wobbly or unstable
Ensure all screw fixings are fully tightened. Verify that the steel pegs are securely inserted into the ground. For softer soil, consider using additional ground anchors or stakes for enhanced stability.
Difficulty assembling components
Review the included instruction manual carefully. Ensure components are aligned correctly before attempting to slot them together. If a part seems stuck, do not force it; re-check alignment.
Rust appearing on fixings over time
Although fixings are rust-resistant stainless steel, prolonged exposure to harsh weather may eventually cause minor surface rust. Clean gently with a non-abrasive cloth. Consider applying a clear coat sealant for extra protection in coastal or very humid environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack all components and check against the included instructions.
- Assemble the arch using the slot-together mechanism and secure with the provided screw fixings. Ensure all connections are tightened.
- Choose your desired location and firmly insert the steel pegs into the ground to anchor the arch. For softer ground, consider using larger anchors or additional securing methods.
Compatibility:
This arch is designed to support most common climbing plants, including roses, clematis, wisteria, ivy, and climbing vegetables. Its traditional design makes it compatible with a wide range of garden styles, from formal to cottage gardens.
Care:
To maintain the arch's appearance and durability, periodically check for any loose fixings. Clean with a damp cloth as needed. While the steel is robust and the fixings are rust-resistant, occasional inspection for any signs of wear will prolong its life. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
