VitaVA68144 Vienna Arch, White, 124.46x60.96x232.41 cm

Assembly instructions are clear and you could not make a mistake in my opinion. It's not metal or wood but still is sturdy, for the material it's made from. Light to carry once complete. Recommend two people to assemble and install but I did it myself being careful not to strain or stress anything. Took me an hour to build. Would buy again. If issues occur after this posting I will update.

Living so close to the beach everything seems to rust or rot really quickly. We had inherited an old wooden rose arch that was collapsing so we needed a better solution. This arch is just perfect. The instructions were well thought out and made assembly easy. It goes well with our UPVC gate. And the best bit… it will last for years and years with little maintenance except for the odd hose-down. Would highly recommend this product.

Overall, this is a very nice arbor and a good value at the price I paid (the price went up about $13 after I purchased it). I was surprised at how substantial the plastic pieces were, unlike the thin plastic I've seen on some other arbors. What really surprised me was how easy it was to assemble. It took about 20 minutes to unbox everything, and inventory and inspect all of the parts. I neatly arranged everything on my patio floor before I began. There were a couple of aspects to the assembly that were a bit tricky, but all together, it took me 35 minutes to assemble the entire arbor.I used 2"x4" pressure treated ground contact lumber in 33" lengths to secure the legs into the ground (without concrete), using the extra screws that were in the box. I had to trim a 1/4" from about 9 inches of each of the four piece of lumber for a proper fit. The hardest part of installing the arbor was leveling and plumbing everything, partly because I was working on a slight incline. It took close to 2 hours to secure it into the ground, level and plumb it, pack the soil around the posts, and put the mulch back in place. Unfortunately, I'm a perfectionist.All of the screws have white heads to match the arbor. It turns out that they are stainless steel screws, which I found out after calling the manufacturer. I found New England Arbors' customer service to be prompt, courteous and knowledgeable.One criticism is that the plastic in the arch of the arbor has a different sheen than the rest of the arbor, and appears to be a slightly different color of white. The effect is subtle, and not really noticeable unless one really scrutinizes it.

This is VERY well built and so pretty in our yard. Really happy with it!

Looks beautiful. Not cheap looking and I am a woman and put it together myself. Had a little help putting it up. Braced it with expandíng foam .now all I need a lights.
