Rosedale Arbor

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

PRELIMINARIES

• Phillips screwdriver (electric driver recommended)

•

Two bags of concrete mix (60#) to anchor the arbor

If you wish to stain or paint your arbor, we recommend that you do so before assembly, it makes the job easier. Use a

high quality exterior stain or paint. Be careful not to cover up guide marks on top of headers.

IF YOU PLAN TO PAINT:

HANDY TO HAVE

• Tape measure

•

Carpenters Square

• Stool or short ladder

WORK AREA

Select an area close to where the arbor will be finally placed. While the assembled unit is not very heavy, it is awkward

to move far and requires two people to do so easily.

The assembly area should be relatively flat and open, at least 8’ square. A lawn, driveway or wide path will be satisfac-

tory.

It is a good idea to lay out the arbor box on your work surface to protect the arbor from nicks and scratches.
