Gothic Arch & Gothic Arch Connectors
Important
Assembly is different depending on how many Arches you're connecting together. If you are connecting 2 or more Arches, it is
easiet to install them all at once rather than adding on later.
Assemble your Arches where you intend to install them. Select a location that is protected from high winds and is away from
children's play areas. NOTE: Because the Arch is heavy, we recommend securing it in concrete. If you are installing it directly into the
ground, please make sure your soil is firm.

the ground as shown in Fig. 1. Line up
the holes in the TOP CURVED PANELS and
attached them using the LONG BOLTS & NUTS.
2. Attach 7 PLATES to one side of the ARCH using the SHORT BOLTS & NUTS (Fig. 2).
3. With at least two people, carefully lift the Arch so it is upright. Attach the remaining 7 PLATES to the other side of the Arch (Fig. 2).
Use the WRENCH to make sure all of the NUT & BOLTS are tightened into place.
4. Straighten the sides of your Arch, then press the ends of the BOTTOM SIDE PANELS into the ground, marking it. Move the Arch to
the side and use your rubber mallet to gently pound the STAKES into the marked spots. Place the open ends of the Arch over the
tops of the STAKES.
