The arch was easy to assemble (although it is a two person job). I was impresssed at how easy and secure the anchoring system is. The arch is a great addition to our landscape, providing a grand entry way to our backyard.

The Moon Arch is perfect and was easy to install. I've planted a pale pink fragrant climbing rose and a blue clematis. The arch frames our pool and I just love it!

The arch looks great! It was fairly easy to put together. I was missing some bolts and there was an empty bag in the box so I called customer service and the bolts were sent out right away! It turns out, the original ones weren't misding; they were screwed into the base plates which I hadn't unwrapped. I am using the arch as a gateway into a winter/moongarden area. It will be wonderful once Clematis is growing over it and shrubs along side it.

This is my second one. I loved the first as an entrance to sunken formal garden and koi pond. Will be putting this one at a different entrance to this garden. Would love to share pictures.

The arch is better quality than I anticipated. It is very substantial with the tubes of the arch sections being about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. The base is heavy to ensure stability. I haven't put it up yet--waiting for the weather to cooperate, but am very excited to see it in my yard!

Was fairly simple to put together. Seems very sturdy and substantial - which makes a great statement in our large yard. I bought it because it coordinates with my wagon wheel garden accents! If it handles our northern Minnesota winters, I may have to get another one!!

The moon gate arbor was pretty simple to assemble. Def needs two people to make sure the holes stay lined up. Can't wait to see it all decorated for the wedding!!!

Easily assembled, wish other colors were available. Holes in base don't line up with holes in trellis.

This is the 2nd Moon gate I have purchased! Love them. I bought Confederate Jasmine and planted at the base. Can't wait to see what it looks like by next year! The screws are very hard to get in on the base plate right next to the poles.

Received the Moongate on schedule but had to put off assembly for a few days. When I started, I noticed that there was a slit on the box edge and saw that one of the cross bars was sticking out. When I opened the box, I found that I was missing one cross bar and one other cross bar appeared to have had one end "ground down" as if a file was run over it many times. I called and Kinsman was very accommodating to send me two cross bars with attached bolts (which was really great since I also was short one bolt). It took about 4 days to get the part but I started and completed as much as I could while I waited. The gate assembled quite easily given I had read previous reviews that implied it was difficult. I did the assembly myself with no help and did not have any of the issues that were previously mentioned (once I had all the parts). The key to making the assembly smooth was to put all bolts on loosely first. This allows any adjustments in alignment in order to get the bolts properly started Instead of following the pictures, I assembled both sides with cross bars working from one side to the other side (having left the end section until the missing cross bars arrived). Following this procedure, it was relative easy to complete the assembly. I then dragged the assembled moongate to the location and easily lifted the gate into position. I then hammered the spikes through the base plate and it was done. I also installed solar lights so it looks great even in the dark. Now, I just need for my climbing hydrangeas to start growing over the gate.

I have submitted only two product reviews in my life and now I have found a third product worth recommending without reservation: my Kinsman Moon Gate Arch. This arch is well made and is a wonderful addition to my landscape. After assembly by myself, I planted Polish Spirit climbing clematis at each base and am now watching daily to see the clematis making its way up the arch. What a dramatic difference this arch makes to my front lawn. I love it.

This moon gate makes a wonderful focal point at the beginning of a path in our garden. I may not plant vines on it, because it is beautiful as it is. My husband put it together, and I helped at the last bit to line it up. It was somewhat difficult to line up the parts, but he managed--though one part is a little wonky because the screws and holes wouldn't line up perfectly. It works, though, and doesn't show. He took someone's advice after reading comments, taking the final bolts out from the bottom plates where they just wouldn't line up, and screwing them in from underneath. That idea worked very well! It is a nicely made trellis. I am very happy with it, and I think Kinsman is a good company with excellent customer service.

Neighbors can't stop asking me where I got my archway. They have never seen a circular shape before. Makes it feel like you are looking into my garden through a photographer's lens.

Everyone remarks how beautiful the moon gate is! I love it!
I bought this to enhance entrance path to formal garden. Someday the clematis sweet autumn will cover it. But even bare it is a nice accent! Wish I could post pic of a bride posing in moongate.

My package arrived with fewer bolts than needed--Kinsman sent more. When I put the arch together yesterday, two of the holes did not line up, one was on the support plate. There was a small dent in one of the quarter rounds which may have caused this misalignment. The arch is together now and I look forward to adding my plant material. But, Kinsman needs to provide better quality control of their materials. This is not an inexpensive arbor!

We recently purchased a moongate. Beautiful addition to our garden. Stunning. Not as hard to put together as some of the reviews say but a bit challenging lining up holes

Even more beautiful than I expected! Assembly was super easy, we had it up in 20 minutes. Nothing but compliments from the neighbors, can't wait for the rose to start climbing over. Love love love it!!!

Mine is even better looking than yours! With black wisteria. Sound and sturdy, a good buy.

The unit appears to be weel built . We had a great deal of trouble trying to get the bolts into the holes on the base. The holes didn't line up and we had to screw them in from underneath.Other than that it was quite easy to assemble

Process of putting together not so easy to assemble! Multiple hardware problems...poor quality, screw threads not properly made, holes not lined up, etc. Had to invent ways to "fix" all the problems in order to complete assembly. But end result is a beautiful piece.

I love the look of the arch(we ordered three), but had some technical problems with the pieces(bolt missing and bolts unusable). Notified company and hopefully will have better quality control. Really a different look than any other.

This is a beautifully different arbor. This "Moon Gate" offers a wide and welcoming gateway into the garden. Word to the wise -- get help to assemble this! The large size really requires 2-3 people to handle. Beware -- the bolts in the base were Very Challenging, they didn't seem to want to thread. No matter -- well worth the effort!
