Arbor

Place garden arbors by configuring dimensions, arch style, and wood finish.

Create an arbor at a placement point, then configure Dimensions, Style, Wood Style and Apply. Dimensions establish the opening and height; style controls the arch, posts and optional lattice.

1

Prepare the input and open the wizard

Choose Arbor in the Hardscape Add panel, then click a placement point on the canvas when prompted. The wizard opens a full-window workspace with a preview.

2

Set the opening and height

In Dimensions, set the opening width, passage depth, height and Arch Rise. The preview shows how the arch rise adds to the post height. Grade terrain to level is a separate ground-editing choice; enable it only when you intend to change the ground under the footprint.

3

Configure arch and posts

In Style, choose Arch Shape, Post Shape and Number of Posts. Set Post Size using the displayed unit system. Inspect the clearance beneath the arch before continuing.

4

Add lattice where supported

Under Lattice Panels, choose the Lattice Pattern and Strip Spacing. Side lattice requires four posts, and Top / Arch Panel requires the arch to be enabled. The application explains disabled combinations. Requested spacing and the generated spacing can differ where the strips must fit evenly.

5

Choose the wood finish

In Wood style, select an offered finish. Weathering and Moss coverage adjust its appearance. Inspect the affected wood members in the preview; separate surface roles can have their own appearance settings.

6

Check and apply

Use Back and Next to inspect the wizard settings and preview. Correct any validation message before applying. Apply on the final step creates or updates the object; Cancel leaves without applying the current wizard draft.

7

Edit the object later

Select the placed object to use the Inspector’s available editing controls. Whole-object wizard settings and individual Structure editor member edits are different operations. Reapplying a wizard can ask how to handle existing member edits; read that choice before confirming. In the Structure editor, Done keeps member edits and Cancel attempts to undo available changes back to entry.
