ASSEMBLY GUIDE Summerwood Craftsman Arbor VA68895 VER 1.
GETTING STARTED First off, allow us to say thank you for the investment you have made in our fine Arbor. This Arbor is designed to be assembled and installed ideally by two people with basic carpentry knowledge and tools. Do not attempt alone, especially during the installation stage. When assembling components, place on a non-abrasive surface (ie: shipping box) to avoid scratching. We recommend a 15’ x 15’ area for unobstructed assembling.
