How to anchor and arbor, pergola, or trellis

There are two very important factors when anchoring your new garden structure to the ground:

1. blocking moisture from the wood or building material to prevent decay.

2. securing the structure safely to prevent collapse.

We suggest pouring a metal anchor into a concrete base for all arbor and pergola installations. That way you solve both concerns: the wood isn't touching the earth and it probably won't fall over!

Another option is using a installation product like the Aussie Augers. But you will need to be sure that your arbor or pergola is compatible...
