Q. |
How is this arch attached to the ground please? Do you dig holes in which to put the corner posts (if so do you concrete) or do you put some spikes in the ground (if so do you supply them)? Thanks. |

Hi Steve,
Anchors can be used to secure the arch to the ground. You should dig holes for the 4 legs to go into. Concrete can be used. It is a matter of preference. If there is high winds in the area. Concrete would be recommended. Ground fixing spikes can also be used.
We can supply you with ground fixing anchors with the arch if you wish. The arch comes with full assembly instructions.

Q. |
What is the distance between the posts? Some of the arches have this dimension but not all, it is important. I am looking for one which will go over a 150cm path. |

Hi Jean,
I don't think this one will be big enough for your path. It is approximately 140cm internally between the posts. I think you may need a bigger one. Are you looking for it to sit flush over your path?

Q. |
Hi, love this arch - could you tell me which anchors would be suitable to use with it - would I need 4 spikes or would two on opposing corners be enough? Thanks |

Hi Maxine,
Thanks for the enquiry.
If your using post anchors, you'll need 4. 1 for each of the legs. Often you don't need spikes, you can just excavate the ground and sink the posts in. Around 300-400mm deep.
Hope this helps?

Q. |
Hi, the arch is 280cm high, is this before the legs are sunk in the ground? Thanks |

Hi Carol
The total height of the Honeysuckle Arch is 280cm, which allows you plenty of length to dig this into the ground.
We reccommend at least 20cm sunk into the ground, leaving you an overground height of 260cm.
Where were you thinking of putting this in your garden?
Kind Regards, Ben |

Q. |
Can this product be stained with a coloured stain? |
| |

Hi Isabel,
Yes that would work fine. Any recognised timber preservative can be used on this item. Cuprinol or ronseal we feel are best.

Q. |
I note that the posts can be put straight into the ground. Is that correct? I would have thought they would rot! The posts are round but the spikes are square. How does this work? Thanks |

Hi Steve
Thanks for your question.
I would recommend sinking these into the ground and filling with concrete. This will then protect them when they are in the moisture.
We do not currently have any round ground spikes for this product.

Q. |
Installed this last year and would like to extend sideways with more uprights(4) -slightly thicker and simple matching 8/9 ft. length cross beams on top-do you sell these pieces and the mock supporting arms as used in the arch?? |

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your enquiry.
Sorry to report that this is not something we can supply. We supply and sell only the full Forest Garden features, such as the Honeysuckle arch. We don't have separate or spare timbers we can supply.
