We had thought the arbor was going to be really difficult to put together and place but it ended up being rather easy.  Everything came per-cut and pre-drilled and was exactly the dimensions that we were told.  Since we used white in other areas of the yard, it just seemed to be a natural fit to paint the arbor white as well.  I was not looking forward to sanding and stripping the wood down getting it ready to paint and was pleasantly surprised when the wood arbor came sanded and ready to treat or paint as we saw fit.  In my mother’s words, “It has been a lovely experience”.
