Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This arbour requires self-assembly. Ensure you have a clear, level area for construction and gather the necessary tools as indicated in the instruction manual. It's recommended to have a second person assist with assembly for ease and safety.
Compatibility: The arbour is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with most garden environments. Its natural timber finish allows it to be painted or stained to complement any garden colour scheme.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the timber, regular cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
