Venice Arbor, Perfect for Pathways, Wedding Decor, Christmas Decoration, Vine Climber for Backyard Garden

Easy to put together, I started the sides on the floor inside then moved outside to put the top on. It is probably easier with 2 people but I managed. Very nice quality. Be careful not to lose screws they don't send extras. LOVE IT!!

I had planned on building my own arbor but with Covid, there wasn’t lumber available. This kit has the dimensions and the style I desired and was only about $20-30 more expensive than the lumber would have been. I can’t speak on the longevity of the product, but here is what I did and recommend.First, I used water sealant on every piece before I assembled. The directions recommend staining it every 2 years, but once it’s covered in hops bines, I didn’t consider that feasible.The kit went together easily. All the pieces were easily recognizable and were solid. One piece had a chunk knocked out of it but otherwise everything was in good condition during unboxing. The hardware was solid and I didn’t have to replace anything except the very small screws which were intended for the metal support stakes.I assembled the entire thing in the garage except for the support stakes. And then carried it to the site before attaching the stakes. I prepared the ground and dug small holes for each leg. I filled the holes with cement then put the arbor on a wooden support over the area so that the stakes were in the cement but the legs were not. I used large garden stakes to keep the arbor supported while the cement dried. Once it was dried I used paver base to surround the area so that the legs of the arbor would drain well and wouldn’t rot.After it was all done it appears solid and a very good trellis for my hop bines. If it works well, might buy. Couple more as it looks very nice, is solid and will definitely do the trick for what I needed.

This is a nice arbor, very plain and pretty solid. Took me about 3 hours to assemble, EACH piece is loose in the box, even the cross pieces have to be put together. All done with screws and pre-drilled holes. Instructions are all pictures, no explanation or written instructions. Fairly easy to follow, but pay close attention to every number and every hole location, or you will end up taking things apart and turning them around. My only real gripe is the listed dimensions. This arbor does NOT have a 79" clearance. 79" is the height to the TOP of the TOP cross piece, which is 4" wide, so your clearance is 75". Which is okay unless you are 6'3" like I am, so I will sit this on bricks to raise it up 2". Also, the width is listed as 60". That is the width of the TOP cross piece. The actual inside width dimension is 46". Not as important to me as the height, but still misleading. All in all, I'm glad I ordered one that was reduced in price because the box was damaged, which makes it worth the discrepancies. I guess.UPDATE: Moved this to another location and built a raised garden box on each side, which I then sat the arbor on. Now it's at a much better height and looks like it belongs. And now I love it, but it took some adjusting.

Was pretty easy to assemble and looks nice. Pretty sturdy for the price. Plan to use for our backyard wedding.

Amazing arch, but kind difficult to put together. Looks amazing and is big enough to be used as a wedding arch. Great purchase

Not as described. It's pine not Canadian hemlock. Also, the stain was not oil and washed off when cleaned with soap and water. Great style and went together well but question how long it will last.

Assembly took a couple of hours, but the pre-drilled holes were perfect and everything came together nicely. The finished arbor is very sturdy. The finish on the wood repels water. I definitely recommend this product.

Beautiful and sturdy arbor structure that was relatively easy to assemble. It took me about an hour to assemble alone.
