Super easy to put together. Wish it were a bit sturdier, but I think it will be fine for the vine I have that will grow up over and through it. Seems stable when sunk into the ground. Very nice.

The Trellis was easy to assemble, attractive, and looks like it will do what we want next summer. Specifically, the view of our perennial garden from out summer patio is compromised by our neighbor’s garage on the other side of the fence. The fence covered with a flowering vine is great, but it is just 5 ft tall. We just removed a fifteen-year-old tree intended to block the view because it was shading the garden and dropping its lower branches so as not to block the view of the garage. The tree has been removed. The plan for the trellis is to have it covered with vines and at least partially block the garage while not shading the perennials so much. In the first image you can see the trellis bare, after installation, before vines.The only issue is that the trellis is tall and wide, which is good. But this makes it susceptible to toppling with the first breeze or first bird landing. The trellis needed to be anchored to the ground. There were no instructions, which maybe makes sense because every installation situation is likely different. I started trying to pound on the lowest cross-bars so as to drive the legs into the relatively soft soil. I quickly decided that was a bad idea because of the stress the pounding was putting on the welds. I wisely stopped before anything broke.Then my 78-year-old handyman skills kicked in. I found some 4 ft long 5/16” steel rods at my local home supply store. These were easily hammered about 2 ft into the ground adjacent the trellis legs. I then tied each steel rod to its adjacent trellis leg with two hose clamps, which should provide a good anchor. See the second image. This anchoring scheme is not as pretty as the initial trellis, but the lowest 2 ft are well below eye level, and will be obscured by perennials and the vines on the trellis. Should work great!

Easy to assemble, beautiful shape and despite not being the strongest of steel bars, it has held up to some crazy storms this summer. I watched it bending with the wind during the last bout of tornado warnings but as soon as everything rolled out I came out to find it still holding strong and unphased. I just love the little bit of whimsy this adds to the entrance my little wildlife garden area.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I really liked the scroll work of this arbor, perfect for the plants that I had envisioned to use it for. HOWEVER, upon the very timelu and quick receipt, I assembled it which was, also, quick and easy, the unit bows where the two side pieces meet. It advertises an 'H' frame structure which would be VERY stable instead it is approx 1/2" square tubing. The overall design is great but needs more support where the two vertical pieces slide into one another. Maybe adding an inner bar stock which would also have a hole for the screw would go through at that joint. We bought fence posts and attached with black plastic ties - inside and out to straighten it and anchor it. That's right, this unit has no way to anchor it either! The bottoms of the square tubing are closed with no penetration possible of the earth - again the 'H' frame would have been helpful in this regard. Flawed design but with about $10 of fence post and plastic ties - secured and anchored to our satisfaction. Looks lovely on our shoreline and after the vines take hold - it will be beautiful! THAT WAS THE GOAL!

The archway was very easy to put together. I was very impressed the way it was packed and shipped. It's not overly sturdy but very well made for the low price. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Arrived on time, very easy to assemble. I ordered this exact same design trellis a few years ago, and was looking to extend the depth for my trumpet vines. I'm not sure if it's from the same company or not, but one thing to note - it was showing rust within a week. (the original one rusted as well, but it took years for it to happen)Also, it is MUCH lighter weight and if it were not for the vines firmly holding it in place, it could literally blow away in a good storm.I do not recommend this trellis, unless you paint it before installing, and be sure to have a very good support situation in place to keep it from blowing away.

This was extremely easy to assemble, and it is lightweight, not heavy at all. I wanted something I could carry by myself, so if I want to move it to a different spot in my yard or garden I could. This fits the bill. It is taller than what I expected, which was a lovely surprise. The width is a perfect size. It looks so lovely in my yard. I have morning glories slowly making their climb up the sides, which is just what I wanted it for. I also added some solar strand fairy lights to the top of the arch, so it looks beautiful at night as well. You can dress it up any way that you want. If you are looking for a metal garden arch, I highly recommend this one. I love it!

This is a good looking arch but, the joints were you have to screw it in are not sturdy the whole arch wobbles just standing or with a bit of wind. The height is great and it's easy to carry as it's lightweight. Would purchase again but the wobbly frame isn't worth repurchase.
