Arbor Stakes

Use appropriate stakes for soil conditions; specialized stakes may be needed for sand or hard ground.

Zipper Care

Lubricate sticking zippers with silicone; avoid forcing zippers with caught material.

Storage Recommendations

Store arbors dry, loosely folded, away from heat, water, and mice.

Hand wash with mild soap; avoid detergents or washing machines to protect coating.
