Dextrus 84" Wooden Wedding Arches, Solid Wood Wedding Party Decoration Arched with Trellis, Natural

Very pretty arbor with trellis that I plan to use outside with native honey suckle. But is it weather proof or is it going to rot after a year?? I'm baffled that the wood material isn't listed anywhere, and no instructions about how to care for this outdoors! When I unwrapped the box, it smelled like cedar which I think is supposed to be somewhat naturally weather resistant. I noticed a slight green tinge, so maybe it's pressure treated but no way to know for sure. In addition, this thing falls over in the slightest breeze and must be secured to the ground but didn't come with any stakes or anchors. The overall price was decent, but now I have to buy stakes and waterproofing sealant, which will probably cost another $30-$40. As for assembly, it was a little tricky to put together and does require your own tools. I used a power screwdriver with Phillips head, but you need a long bit toward the end as there are a few recessed holes that are impossible to reach with a short bit. The wood is quite thin and actually broke in one place so be very careful when screwing. I glued it back together with wood glue. It'll be pretty once I finally get it installed in the yard. Just hope it holds up against the elements after all this work!

This is a beautiful arbor. Easy to put together. The arbor is big in fact I bot a arbor from home Depot. For a little more. And it's nice. But this one tops it. Not only for the price but the structure. I love it. the instructions should mention to use wood glue. It comes with pegs to attach the trellis to the side beams. But you do need to use glue. Otherwise the pegs don't hold strong enough. Also the details in description read weather proof. You do need to put a sealer to protect the wood. The wood feels and looks like it needs to have a sealer to protect the wood. It looks better in person than the picture. If anyone wants to add a arbor to their garden, I would diffinetly buy this one. I have not put it in the garden yet because I want to put the sealer on first. To protect the wood. So I have it in my dinning room.

Absolutely love it!!! It wasn't to hard to put together. I put it together myself in about an hour. Great price on something that adds so much charm to my garden.

They are well made and easy to put together, we are in our 70 years and need some filter shade from our kitchen window and this helps .

Just beautiful!! We will be decorating it for a back yard wedding - perfect!!! 👍🏻👍🏻

Great price and fairly study.

The price was $40 dollars less than several other stores and was delivered almost immediately

I have bought three of these arbors while they were on sale. Instructions are ok, pictures only but easy to understand. Hardware was all there. It is easier to put it together with two people working on it, but I was able to get the last one done by myself. I like design, the wood is kinda cheap and thin, however I was expecting it based on the price. I plan on training roses and clematis on these arbors and I think they will serve well for that. I did spray waterproof coating on them and probably add metal spikes and cement to the bottom for stability and weather protection. Overall, I would buy them again.

Very sturdy, although we chose to anchor it down. Nice wood for outdoor use. Great piece for the price.

Good quality, but if painted it will be better
