SQUARE UP THE ARBOR
 
 
ATTACH THE BRACES TO THE HEADERS AND PANELS
 
Carefully tip your assembled arbor to the upright position and check 
that the side panels are vertical and parallel. 
 
Attach the four braces to the post, using the same technique as for 
the header boards: drive the 2 1/2” screw through the bottom hole 
in the brace so that it protrudes about 1/2”, and insert the point 
into the pilot hole on the inner edge of the panel frame. Then drive 
the screw in firmly.  
 
Double-check your side panel posts to make sure they are square 
with the header board and parallel to the post on the other side. 
 
When the position is set, hold the upper end of the brace firmly in 
contact with the header and drive the screw in. 
 
Tighten all screws in your assembly.

STEP 3 
Now square up the arbor. This can be easily done with a large Carpenter’s Square, a tape measure, or even a length 
of string as shown below. 
 
SQUARE UP SECOND SIDE PANEL & HEADER
 
When the arbor is squared up, drive the second screw at the top of each post into the lower pilot hole in the 
header. 
Set post screw first 
into pilot hole 
Top screw into 
back of header 
Turn the assembly over so that the attached header board is on the upper side, with the free edge of the side 
panels on the ground or working surface. 
 
Repeat the process to attach the other header. 
1.  Measure the distance “a” at post tops. 
2.  Set bottom of posts to same spacing “b”. 
3.  Measure diagonal distance “x”. 
4.  Check opposite diagonal distance “y”. 
 
When a=b and x=y, the arbor is square.
