When mounting to surfaced 6×6 posts, the arbor truss is 5-1/2″ Wide x 3″ Thick. When mounting to surfaced 4×4 posts, the arbor truss is 3-1/2″ W x 3″T. Both applications require mounting caps as shown. When mounting to masonry/stone/brick columns, mounting caps are not necessary.

* The arbor clearance should be a minimum 84″. From the top of your posts, the radius height is 1/2″ the distance between the posts. If, for example, the posts are 48″ apart, The arbor will have a radius of 24″. To achieve 84″ clearance, the posts will be cut at 60″ off the grade. All of which is shown on your eventual dimension drawings.

It often helps to see a project prior to the finished photograph. A low stucco wall was created along the front walk and up the driveway. Both front and side drive gates were demarcated with the announcement of columns.

The radius of the #10 arbor is affected by the width between the posts. As a true 360-degree arch, coupled with the same feature of the gate #8 demands a specific height of the gate. All of it shown on the dimension drawings posted for your review prior to any work in the shop. An opportunity to consider the complexities.

Garden Arbor #10-1 with Garden Gate #8-3 is posted, in part, as an example of our homeowner deciding upon a finishing product that is billed to bring out the natural beauty of wood. It is essentially an oil product and while it clearly enhances the wood, it is also a product that stipulates only one coat. The splotchy appearance seen below is the result of successive coats laying on top of the initial coat and as a result, unable to absorb evenly. But more . . . oil finishes such as this have a lifeline of approximately one year before requiring maintenance. Oil finishes that ‘enhance the wood’ are probably the biggest myth of exterior finishes. Subjected to the elements, such an approach is to buy into a future of relentless upkeep, without prolonging the life of the assembly by one day.
Review the Exterior Finish Options as a means to insure you settle on the right product. The various options are provided with Advantages and Disadvantages, and with links so they can be purchased direct from the dealer or manufacturer. They have been culled from all the products on the market and although the grades of western cedar we spec from the mill do not require a finish or any treatment to prolong the life of the wood, the aesthetics often suggest a finish. So it’s important to use the right product.
