Vita Heartwood Arbor

The arbor comes pre-finished with a water-based stain, so it is ready for immediate outdoor use. While cedar is naturally resistant to decay and insects, applying a fresh coat of stain or sealer every year or two will help maintain the wood's color and extend its lifespan.

The lattice side panels are designed specifically to support climbing plants, but keep in mind that mature vines can become quite heavy. For vigorous, woody climbers, ensure the arbor is securely anchored into the ground to prevent tipping under the weight of dense foliage.

Assembly is straightforward and designed for a DIY approach. You will generally need basic household tools like a drill, screwdriver, and a level to ensure the structure is plumb during installation.

The arbor is designed primarily for in-ground installation. If you plan to place it on a hard surface, you will need to purchase separate post-mounting brackets or hardware to secure it safely, as the standard legs are intended to be set into the soil.

The arbor has an overall width of 55 inches. While the specific interior clearance can vary slightly based on assembly, you can expect roughly 48 to 50 inches of walking width between the side panels.
