Operating Instructions

Using the Gate

The double gate can be opened by unlatching the simple hook and chain mechanism. This allows for easy passage through the arbor. To secure, simply re-engage the hook.

Supporting Climbing Plants

The arbor is designed to support various climbing plants such as roses, honeysuckle, clematis, and jasmine. Guide the plant tendrils through the metalwork as they grow to encourage upward growth and coverage.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the metal frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the powder-coated finish.
• Seasonal Storage: If possible, store the arbor in a dry, sheltered location during harsh weather conditions (e.g., heavy snow, extreme winds) to prolong its lifespan.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary. Inspect the metal for any signs of rust or damage and apply touch-up paint if needed.
