This Beatrix Arbor is a great addition to your garden. You can place it in a spot where vines can climb and blossoms can thrive. When it's not in use, especially during bad weather, store it indoors or cover it well. If there's any standing water around wooden parts, remove the arbor from it. To keep it clean, use a small brush or a vacuum to dust it regularly. If there are spills, quickly clean them with a slightly dampened sponge before they stain. Don't use bleach solutions. Also, note that you'll need to assemble the arbor when you get it. And be aware that it contains nickel compounds which can be related to cancer according to Prop 65.
