Can this arch be used on a patio?

Troubleshooting
Arch is wobbly after installation
Ensure ground spikes are fully inserted into firm soil. Check that all assembly fixings are securely tightened. If installed on uneven ground, attempt to level the area around the spikes.
Assembly instructions are unclear
Refer to the manufacturer's website for detailed assembly guides or video tutorials. Contact Poppy Forge customer support for specific queries.
Rust on the coated finish
Minor rust spots on the coated finish may occur if the coating is scratched. Clean the affected area gently and consider touching up with a compatible metal paint.
Bare metal finish is rusting unevenly
Uneven rusting is normal for bare metal finishes. If a more uniform patina is desired, you can encourage rusting by occasionally misting with water. If you wish to stop rusting, clean thoroughly and apply a metal sealant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack all components and check for any damage.
- Identify the two side panels and the cross-braces.
- Assemble the arch by connecting the side panels to the cross-braces according to the provided instructions (typically involving bolts and nuts, not included in this description but assumed for assembly).
- Once assembled, position the arch in its desired location.
- Push the integrated ground spikes firmly into the soil until the base of the arch is stable. Ensure the ground is firm and level.
Compatibility:
- Surface: Designed for soft ground installation (soil, grass). Not suitable for hard surfaces like patios or decking without alternative anchoring methods.
- Plants: Compatible with most climbing plants, from lightweight annuals to heavier perennials.
Care:
- Polyester Coated Finish: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Bare Metal Finish: This option is designed to rust naturally, creating a patina. No specific care is required, but monitor for excessive corrosion if preferred. If you wish to preserve the bare metal look, a clear sealant can be applied, though this may need reapplication.
- General: Periodically check the stability of the ground spikes and tighten any fixings if necessary.
