Troubleshooting
Wobbly or unstable arch
Ensure all fixings are tightened securely. Check that the ground is level. For increased stability, especially with climbing plants or in windy areas, consider using ground anchors (sold separately) or additional bracing.
Difficulty assembling components
Refer to the comprehensive instructions provided. Ensure you have identified all parts correctly. If issues persist, check the included parts list against the components received. Contact customer support if a part appears to be missing or damaged.
Uneven appearance after assembly
Double-check that the posts are vertically aligned and the roof beams are level during assembly. Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by slightly repositioning the leg attachments before fully tightening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Assembly is designed to be straightforward with comprehensive instructions and all necessary fixings provided. Identify all components against the instructions before starting. It is recommended to have a second person assist with assembly for stability, especially when erecting the main structure. Ensure the ground where the arch will be placed is level. If anchoring is desired, plan for this during the setup phase.
Compatibility:
This arch is compatible with most garden environments. It can be used to straddle garden paths, doorways, or as a standalone feature. While it is designed for outdoor use, the timber is pressure-treated to resist rot and decay. For enhanced longevity and aesthetics, it can be painted or stained using exterior-grade finishes. Consider the weight of the plants you intend to grow; heavier plants may require additional ground anchoring.
Care:
To maintain the appearance and prolong the life of the timber, periodic cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. The pressure-treated finish provides good protection, but if you choose to paint or stain the arch, ensure you use products suitable for exterior timber. Reapplication of paint or stain may be necessary every few years, depending on weather exposure. Regularly check for any signs of wear or damage and address them promptly. Ensure plant growth does not excessively strain the structure.
