Assembly Instructions
Assembly typically requires two people. Follow these steps for a secure setup.
- Connect Arch Sections: Join the half arc bars together using the connecting rods to form the top arch sections.
- Assemble Side Frames: Connect the transverse long members and bottom members to the vertical posts to create the side frames of the arch.
- Attach Arch to Sides: Securely attach the assembled arch sections to the top of the side frames. Use the provided sure-clips to reinforce all connections, ensuring a stable structure.
- Position and Anchor: Carefully move the assembled arch to its desired location. The pointed ends of the vertical posts are designed for easy insertion into the ground. For optimal stability, especially in windy conditions, ensure the posts are deeply embedded or further secured to a fence or other fixed structure.
- Install Climbing Net (Optional): Drape the climbing net over the arch and secure it using the plastic ties or garden clips. This provides additional support for climbing plants.

Usage

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and continued performance of your DoCred Garden Arch Trellis, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the metal frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the polyethylene coating.
- Inspection: Periodically check all connections, especially the sure-clips, to ensure they remain tight and secure. Inspect the frame for any signs of rust, bending, or damage.
- Winter Storage: In regions with harsh winters, it is recommended to disassemble and store the trellis indoors to protect it from extreme weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your garden arch trellis, refer to the following common solutions:
- Arch feels unstable: Ensure all connecting rods and sure-clips are fully engaged and tightened. Verify that the vertical posts are deeply inserted into the ground. Consider additional anchoring points or weighing down the base in high-wind areas.
- Plants are not climbing: Gently guide the plant tendrils onto the trellis structure. Use plant clips or twist ties to initially secure them. Some plants may require more encouragement than others.
- Rust or coating damage: The polyethylene coating is designed to be rust-resistant. If minor scratches occur, they can be touched up with rust-inhibiting paint. For significant damage, contact customer support.
