Dura-Trel 11179M Wellington Arbor, Mocha

Assembly required.. Parts not labelled but eventually figured out pattern. Very nice. Good build quality. 20 year warranty.

Wasn’t hard to put together and it looks beautiful however I feel like light wind can push it around

Very tricky to put together, make sure you lay out all pieces first and organize them by size. Also, check them for integrity. My box came damaged during shipping and one of the main top parts was broken. The company was very good about sending me out a new piece which I received in less than a week free of charge. The entire arbor is made up of individual pieces which are threaded together by fit holes, held in place-ALL PER A SPECIFIC SEQUENCE OUTLINED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS, then screwed together. Every time I thought I knew what I was doing and tried to get ahead of the instructions I basically screwed up and had to back track. Just take your time and follow the instructions exactly is my advice. :) I would give this outstanding marks for durability because this arbor fell over 3 times during storms before I secured it with tie down footers. It came with right angle sharp metal stakes that you are supposed to pound into the ground then screw the upright feet of the arbor into the metal stakes. I couldn't get these metal stakes into my ground and you have to be rather precise in placement and angle in order to slide each of the four arbor legs exactly down over the stakes. I quickly realized this was not something I could do so I happened to have four large screw in the ground dog tie outs that I used instead for anchoring shoe string/rope tie downs four square at the base of the arbor. The arbor is quite rock solid now and will be even more so once the Carolina Jasmine that I planted on either side of the trellis's wind their way up the trellis's! This is a beautiful addition to my backyard and looks lovely at the top of stairs between my rear lawns multi level heights!

It looks good and seems real sturdy and matches the other one that we ordered from the same company and makes up beautiful walkway.

I’m very happy with the final product and I know that this will last in the Arizona sun much better than wood. For the most part, the assembly was easy. However, the main instructions don’t seem to take an account the added anchor instructions. In fact, if you look online, page 6 is not included in the product manual. Because of this, I finally realized I needed to unscrew the bottom four screws (one in each post) in order to add the anchors. I did use two screws in each post to add the anchor, but I have four screws left from the original assembly that would still be needed if you weren’t going to use the anchors.

Dura-Trel makes a high-quality arbor, in wide variety of designs. I chose this one for my daughter's fall wedding. Assembling it takes a bit of time (the Wellington is one of the more elaborate configurations), but all the parts are perfectly cut. The price was remarkably low, and the maintenance-free PVC construction is obviously rugged.

Assembly holes did not line up correctly. It’s not very sturdy. Wish I had made a better purchase.

Does the job looks great can’t wait to see it covered in vines and flowers assembly goes well laid out on a nice flat floor like in your garage don’t be intimidated by the amount of pieces just go for it!
