1. Fit the "T" joints (B) and moisture

protection sleeves (C), as illustrated, to
assemble the 8 leg tubes as shown. Slide
the sleeve half way onto the female
(upper) joint before pushing the male
(lower) joint into it. Do not secure "T"
joints with screws until section 5 below
to allow for final adjustments.

2. Fit the top curved tubes (D and E) in a

similar way ensuring that the "T" joints
are positioned as illustrated with
joint/moisture protection sleeves
(C) fitted.

3. Connect both halves of the arch with

struts (F) by pushing the struts into the
vacant "T" joint slots.

4. Place arch in desired location and mark

leg positions on the ground. Remove arch
and drive hole maker (G) to a
recommended depth of approximately
0.38m (1' 3"). Insert legs into holes and
firm earth around to secure.

5. Carry out final adjustments to strut

positions and secure "T" joints to tubes
using assembly screws.

Helpful hints:

You may find it easier to assemble your
arch horizontally on its side and then
carefully stand it upright to install.

Soaking the moisture protection sleeves
in warm water for a few minutes prior to
fitting will make them more malleable
and will aid fitting.

Please note: “T” joints (B) should be
positioned either above or below the
straight tube connection points: do not
attempt to use the “T” joints (B) to
connect the straight tubes (A) together.
