#11111 COURTYARD ARBOR

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

TOOLS NEEDED: Ruler Hammer Drill with #2 Phillips Bit (recommended) or Phillips Screwdriver Post Hole Digger Shovel

ARBOR SIDE PANEL ASSEMBLY (Refer to Drawing 1) (Make 2) On a flat surface lay one of the left posts with screw pilot holes facing up and routed holes for cross rails facing in. Insert one of the 1 ½ x 4 x 29 ½” top/bottom cross rails into the bottom routed hole of post so that holes for tubes are toward the top of the arbor. Next insert one of the center cross rail into the post. Slide the five 60” tubes through the center rail and into the bottom rail. Insert the top cross rail into post sliding the tubes into the holes as you insert the cross rail. Insert the opposite ends of cross rails into one of the right posts. (Make sure pilot holes for screws are facing up.) Slide one of the steel ground anchors into the bottom of each post so that the 1 ½ x 4" cross rail slides into the U-channel and press firmly together to ensure the cross rails are completely inserted into both posts. Fasten using the 1 ¼" screws. Snap screw caps over screw heads.

Fasten the bottom rail only to the posts with the 1 ¼” screws at this time. You may slide the steel ground anchors out and set aside until ready for installation or fasten them with the #10 x 1" self-drilling screws, backers and caps found in the installation hardware bag. (See installation hardware bag for details and installation options.)

ARBOR ASSEMBLY (Refer to Drawing 2) Set both the side panels on edge with the screw pilot holes facing the outside of arbor. Slide the two 1 ½ x 4 x 84” top rails into the top routed holes between posts, make sure the 2 x 2” routed holes in 84” rail face toward each other. With the 84” cross rails in place, gently spread the arbor top section apart. Insert the five 2 x 2 x 26 ¾” center top cross rails between the 84” rails and the posts of side panels, making sure the screw pilot holes in the 2 x 2’s are toward the top of the arbor. Firmly press side panels together to ensure cross rails are completely inserted into the posts and fasten the center and the top rails of side panels with 1 ¼" screws. Snap screw caps over screw heads. Place the two 1 ½ x 7/8 x 84” overhead cross rails onto the 2 x 2" cross rails so that the pilot holes line up, fasten with 1 ¼" screws and snap screw caps over screw heads. FINISHING TOUCHES Snap any remaining screw caps over screw heads. Apply glue to the inside edges of the gothic caps and place on top of posts and do the same for the 7/8 x 1 ½” caps for on the ends of the 7/8 x 1 ½ x 84” overhead cross rails. Apply glue to the 1 ½ x 4” end caps and press them onto the ends of the 1 ½ x 4 x 84” top cross rails (do not slide these end caps on from the edge).

Recommended Installation Slide the 24" ground anchors into the bottom of each post approximately 6" (leaving 18" exposed below bottom of vinyl post). Fasten each ground anchor using the #10 x 1" self-drilling screws, backers and caps provided in installation hardware bag. (Refer to small diagram at right) Using the installation template enclosed (for your model) as your guide, dig holes in desired location approximately 18" deep. Set unit in holes, level the unit and either backfill with the soil you removed in making holes or you can set the ground anchors in cement. Option #1 Using the installation template dimensions for your model, carefully pound the ground anchors into the desired location, using a block of wood to protect the top edge of ground anchors.

(Note: Special care must be taken when inserting ground anchors, they must be straight to enable the arbor or trellis post to slide over anchors.)

Slide the arbor or trellis over the ground anchors and fasten using the #10 x 1" self-drilling screws, backers and screw caps. (Refer to small diagram) Option #2 Using the installation template dimensions for your model, dig holes 18" deep in desired location. Fill holes with cement, place ground anchors into cement making sure the ground anchors are at the required measurements from template drawings and they are positioned straight. There is very little room for error in this method of installation. Allow cement to dry. When cement is dry, slide the arbor or trellis over the ground anchors and fasten using the #10 x 1" self-drilling screws, backers and screw caps. (Refer to small diagram)
