Disappointed
Lots of holes and gaps in roof and broken pieces. Although parts to be sent this is not helpful when you are trying to assemble. Quality not good for the price

Shire Corner Arbour 1.25x1.25m
Delivered complete on time. Quality very good for the price. Can't believe that some people assembled theirs in 2-3 hours - I took 14hours over a few days (not including painting). Sanded all surfaces first, used two 6" G clamps to hold pieces together for drilling & screwing. Roof very fiddly, especially at roof having to drill 8 holes at different angles into the small top post. Advice: read instructions carefully a few times (they seem to have been updated in 2015 after earlier comments); some of the answers in Q&As give conflicting advice!!; the arbour seats 2 comfortably, 3 at a squeeze; check the size of the screws supplied as a 5mm pilot hole in the instructions was too big in my case (I used 3.5mm)
This arbour is same size as the other one listed as 1.6x1.6m so the footprints for the base are identical.
A very nice addition to our garden at a good price.

Nice addition
The arbour was delivered as promised, unfortunately when checking the parts we discovered some were missing! Shire were very prompt in answering our problem and the pieces duly arrived. Apart from the roof it was easy to put up and has made a great addition to the garden. To re-iterate, the roof was a bit of a challenge but not insurmountable!! We are very happy.

Arbour Delights
Purchased this Arbour July 2018, Stained the parts lavender, before assembling. The roof was a bit tricky, between 2 of us we were fine. Very sturdy when up and it looks lovely. Get a lot of positive remarks from visitors. I would say it seats 3 comfortably. Bought a tiny fold down table and stained the same colour to go with it.

This model seems to have been out of stock for a few months now. Do you know when it will be available again?
Asked by: RobbboB
Size confusion - SHIRE CORNER ARBOUR 1.25 X 1.25 X 2.49M (9276F) is listed as 4 person capacity. SHIRE CORNER ARBOUR 1.6 X 1.6 X 2.4M (96919) is listed as 2 person, yet is listed with larger dimensions and is more expensive.
These listings don’t see, to make senses. Can you clarify which is a 2 and which is a 4 person.
Asked by: ChrisY123
The size listed is the roof size on 96919. The seating area is exactly the same and they will both seat 4 people. The 9619 is more expensive as it has more shaped decorative parts.

How would I secure this to soil ground base?
Would I use spike posts but I don’t know if these are available for 64x64 posts as suggested size on the website.
Asked by: LS1918
We don't recommend placing the Arbour directly on soil as this is not stable and also will cause damp issues.
You could use spikes for bigger post and put some packing between the clamping bolt and leg. If you put it on a concrete base you could use L brackets and Rawl bolts.

Instruction manual for 1.25x1.25 Arbour
Is there an instruction manual available for this arbour or is assembly identical to the 1.6x1.6 arbour (appart from roof & seat details)?

Footprint of arbours for concrete base
Does the Corner Arbour (1.6x1.6) and the Honey Suckle Arbour (1.25x1.25) have the same footprint (i.e. Size of concrete base required)?
Asked by: Bobmk
Yes both the Corner arbour and Honeysuckle arbours have the same footprint.
