Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble your Giantex Metal Garden Arch Trellis. It is recommended to have two people for easier assembly.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Identify each component according to the parts list (if provided in the physical manual).
- Assemble the Top Half: Begin by connecting the curved top sections of the arch. Use the provided screws and protective caps to secure these pieces together. Ensure a snug fit.
- Attach Side Panels: Connect the decorative side panels to the assembled top section. These panels typically feature the Gothic-inspired spires.
- Install Vertical Supports: Attach the main vertical support poles to the side panels and the top structure. Ensure all connections are firm.
- Secure Base Sections: Connect the bottom sections of the arch, which will form the base. These sections are designed to be inserted into the ground for stability.
- Final Tightening: Once all parts are connected, go back and tighten all screws using the provided wrench. Ensure all protective caps are in place.
- Ground Installation: Position the assembled arch in your desired location. Insert the ends of the legs firmly into the ground to stabilize the structure.

Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the metal frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder coating.
- Rust Prevention: Although the arch is powder-coated for rust resistance, inspect it periodically for any scratches or chips in the coating. Touch up any damaged areas with rust-inhibiting paint to prevent corrosion.
- Check Stability: Periodically check that the arch remains securely anchored in the ground and that all connections are tight. Re-secure if necessary.
- Winter Storage (Optional): In areas with harsh winters, you may choose to disassemble and store the arch indoors to prolong its lifespan, though it is designed for year-round outdoor use.
Troubleshooting
- Arch is not stable/tilts: Ensure the legs are fully inserted into the ground. For softer soil or high wind areas, consider deeper burial of the legs or using additional anchoring stakes (not included) for enhanced stability. Verify all screws are tightly fastened.
- Difficulty assembling parts: Double-check that you are using the correct parts for each step as indicated in the manual. Ensure no debris is obstructing the connection points. If parts are bent, gently straighten them if possible, or contact customer support.
- Rust appearing: While designed to be rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture or damage to the powder coating can lead to rust. Clean the rusted area, sand lightly, and apply a rust-inhibiting paint.
