vita VA68895 Summerwood Arbor Installation Guide
Summerwood Craftsman Arbor
GETTING STARTED
First off, allow us to say thank you for the investment you have made in our fine Arbor. This Arbor is designed to be assembled and installed ideally by two people with basic carpentry knowledge and tools. Do not attempt alone, especially during the installation stage. When assembling components, place on a non-abrasive surface (ie: shipping box) to avoid scratching. We recommend a 15’ x 15’ area for unobstructed assembling. You should not need to use excessive force when assembling any components.
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED
