BEST ON-LINE PURCHASE I EVER MADE - THANKS AMAZON!

It took only 2 hours to put it together & set it in place. Before purchasing it I read other reviews & was better prepared for the installation. I dug a 6" deep by 5'wide circle into the ground & bent little feet on each post which were secured by U-shaped wire stakes into the ground before refilling with soil. The metal is light weight & this would prevent any shifting from wind & weather. I'm VERY happy with this product & can't wait for next spring to see the clematis rise & all the bulb plants pop-up around the birdbath that sits in the middle. The only extra tool you need to put this together is PATIENCE.More detail ...

It Tipped Over

I should have listened to some of the reviews for this arch. It leaned to one side after I put it together and there was no way it would ever withstand the weight of some climbing vines. I became so frustrated looking at it leaning in my yard and I would go out to try to lean it up straight. After a couple of days of this it finally just tipped completely over and broke one of the joints where it connects. This was a complete waste of money time and effort.More detail ...
