the parts for the arbor top Assemble the arbor top

On an even work surface nail the two rafters together.

Then fix the horizontal roof member to the rafters.

Cutting instructions and dimensions of the all top members are given in the previous page.

put the laths on the arbor top Add the laths

The laths are the thin strips of wood fixed to the top of the rafters for either decorative purposes or to hold some plant form.

Nail the 40mm x 10mm (3/8"x 1 5/8") laths to the rafters. Begin the first lath 50mm (2") down from the tops of the rafters and space all the rest 80mm (3 1/4") from center to center.

place the top on the arbor posts Prepare and attach the beams

Fix nail plates to each side of each beam as shown in the picture (marked step.2) and then fix the beams to the rafters.

It is now just simply a matter of lifting the completed arbor top onto the posts and securing with nails.
