Dura-Trel PVC Garden Arbor, Arch Support for Climbing Plants, Providence, White, 64" x 85"

Went together in 45 minutes. Secured to 4X4 post & is very stout. Impressive quality for the price. I know quality when I see it, especially when I assemble it - I built my cottage & fence myself. I couldn't buy the materials for what this trellis cost already painted.

The product is great. Better than expected. What is in better is the customer service which I was in contact with thinking I was shorted a component. Turns out I goofed and I did have all the parts. They were going to FedEx the part immediately. The lady I talked was fantastic!!!

Its heavy plastic but looks nice. My sidewalk was wider than the arbor. That’s my fault because I didn’t premeasure. The legs had to be bent out but the rose vine will cover it.

All in all, I'm impressed with this arbor for the price. It's fairly sturdy (when permanently installed) and meets our needs as a pretty yard decoration that will give our climbing passion flower a canopy to cover.This thing is very efficiently packed. There were additional parts hidden inside of nearly every large part inside the box. Everything was in good condition upon arrival.Assembly was fairly straightforward, but definitely a two-man job. The end covers for the angled top pieces are kinda cheap and glue on as opposed to being caps like the rest of the top slats. I'm not sure how those will hold up over the long term.Installation is definitely tricky and requires two people to be manageable. We mounted ours in soil. The included plastic ground stakes were kind of cheaply made so we opted to get 2x2 boards at the hardware store and do 4, 12" ground stakes - 6 inches into the soil and 6 inches inside of the hollow arbor leg. We still secured the arbor to the stakes using the included, self-tapping screws. We had to lift the arbor in and out of the garden bed where it was being installed multiple times to get a visual of where to position the back stakes, figure out the spacing, and level the dirt. After that, it's imperative that you follow the measurements in the included instructions to place the front stakes and test it several times to get it right because the arbor legs will bow in a bit until secure and you have to pull them out slightly to make everything square.We just installed this a few days ago so I can't yet comment on how it wears over time. It seems fairly solid, but I wouldn't hang anything more than a lightweight lantern or string lights from the top.

It was a birthday present for my girl friend. She is very happy with it.

I needed some help assembling this beautiful trellis so my hubby got it going for me. It is pretty sturdy but it must be secured down or a gust of wind will blow it over. We didn’t get to secure it the first night and had some gusty winds that night that blew it over. Good news it didn’t damage the trellis!It was well made and I’m pretty happy with my garden addition!

We got it together but it wasn't easy. No levels are allowed over here out of embarrassment lol! Check your holes carefully before screwing anything in. Our sides covered some of the top holes which tells me we pushed them in too far or something. And these long lattice pieces that go through the middle were too long no matter what we did so we snipped them shorter. Pic attached. Overall I don't recommend this one. The directions aren't great so you're guessing a lot. A video step by step would be great.

Update: changing review to 5 stars: yes it's a pain to set up, but for not a lot of money this thing far surpassed my expectations when my town was suddenly hit with the worst snow in decades at 17" - pic of it set up is a month after the snow hit and it looks like new. Absolutely stunned. Setup is, after I couldn't get the spikes to go into the ground, just zip tied to 2 full planters (drilled holes in some cheap plastic square planters and tied around the sides). Very impressed!Previous: I got this at a great price ($70) & you get what you pay for. I think this will last a year or two, the booklet says 10 but... I question that. I see that the price has gone up now ($150) & I would not pay that for this.Complaints: I knew it was made of plastic, but if you don't know well now you do ;) the plastic kind of bends when you put the screws in & you don't really have a choice to bend it in a little, since otherwise the parts wobble too much. So it definitely doesn't look like wood up close, but ah well not a deal breaker for me.My biggest complaint is the holes cut for the lattice to lace through were not drilled right on 3 of the beams; I had to use a drill w/plastic drill bit to cut these parts out (the angle was a good 45 degrees not 90, so this would not have worked otherwise & just cutting with a knife I think would have cracked the plastic).The instructions are... bad. If I didn't have years of ikea-assembling experience this would have been a lot worse; I put the top section of backwards & - shown in the picture - did not realize it needed to be screwed in on the sides & putting this thing together by myself, that was... frustrating. I think I spent an hour to hour & a half assembly all those little pieces & I like building stuff -- if you are not into building stuff like this, stay away!Finally, the end pieces are pretty noticeable &... seriously... came with a thing of super glue? Not expecting those to last long in the weather, but maybe I'll be surprised.Finally, this came with a lot of screws... but I used maybe half of them - I have no idea if this was an error on their part by sending too many, or if I did something wrong because the instructions give no info on this.Overall I'm satisfied because for the price I now have a decent enough looking arbor in my front yard now, but dang lots wrong with this one. Ah well my expectations were not that crazy; it is nice and tall and looks good as a decorative piece for some honeysuckle to grow on and does seem sturdy now that it's up.
