Really disappointing
We waited weeks for delivery and on first inspection all look ok. However upon assembly we quickly found that the holes don’t marry up properly and part split and fell off whilst trying to put it together. My father in law was an engineer and by no means a newcomer to these matters and he felt it was poorly made and would be extremely difficult for someone to erect without experience. He also needed clamps to hold it together whilst assembling, which is not mentioned in the tools required in the instructions. Definitely not worth the money. Do not buy this product.

Awful kit, poor quality.
Took 3 weeks to arrive. It arrived unboxed with strapping stapled all over it. After de-stapling it I assembled all the inner rungs which have two dowels in each end, half of them didn’t line up with the holes at all so as the instructions tell you use a rubber mallet to knock in. They located with a bit of persuasion but the shock of the mallet then makes the end half lap joint fall off.
The way the end joints are positioned mean that the grain is going across the weakest point and not down it so there’s no hope. Have had to mitre stick both ends and then while painting another end dropped off.
Awful kit that I have spent far to much time on that I feel committed to keep.

How is the arch anchored in position; especially if on paving. ?
Asked by: Bonzoman
Good afternoon, thank you for your question. If putting the arch on pavement you would need to use something like our easy-fit fencebases which can be drilled into the slabs or concrete, alternatively if it is going on lawn an easy-fit fencefasts which are long spikes which go into the ground allowing you to keep the height of the arch.

Diameter of each wood post
We may try fence post spikes. So just wondering if each of the 4 legs will fit in the 50mmx50mm or if we’ll need a larger one? Thanks
Asked by: Finofreak
Good Morning, thank you for your recent enquiry. The posts on the Whitby Arch measure 45mm x 70mm. A larger fence post spike would be needed than 50mm x 50mm and any space would need to be packed out to make the post secure. Many thanks, Colin Price.
