Lasting Beauty
There's nothing like the beauty of real wood. Except this. New England Arbors™ are America's leading provider of ready to assemble vinyl arbor kits. In just a few short years their products have made believers out of more than 65,000 homeowners. Put simply, people like the arbors.

Lasting Value
Standing Up To Mother Nature. While wood can rot and warp, New England Arbors maintain their good looks year after year. These arbors won’t crack, rot or delaminate - a promise we backed up with a manufacturer's 20-year limited product warranty.
A Traditional Problem. Traditional architectural styles are timeless. Unfortunately, traditional construction materials like wood don’t often stand a chance against severe weather, temperature extremes and destructive insects. If they do last, it’s your hard labor keeping them looking that way.
Combining Vintage Beauty with Hi-Tech Performance. You would never guess the beautiful products manufactured by New England Arbors were not hand-made by a master craftsman. Surprisingly, it’s the result of New England Arbor technology. Their products are manufactured by molding premium high-grade polyvinyl and polyethylene around modern structural elements to provide long-lasting beauty, durability and quality.

Design Details
Strength & Beauty. Through customer feedback and a dedication to continuous improvement, New England Arbors have been modified and re-engineered to blend maximum strength with simplicity of assembly and installation. If you can operate a cordless drill, measuring tape, level and shovel – you can install these products. Illustrated instructions and a dedicated team of customer service representatives can support and guide you with any of your concerns.
UltraFit bracket coupler and vertical lattice channel come pre-installed on the Nantucket and Fairfield Arbors.
On most arbor and trellis models, lattice fits into vertical grooved frame, which is secured directly to the post.
Unlike wood, all New England Arbors posts and pieces are perfect. This perfection makes them easier to install. The unique “UltraFit” bracket coupler system ensures superior side panel and rail strength. Pre-routered holes provide a clean fit and finish.
All hardware supplied is non-corrosive stainless steel. Screws come with self-augering tips, which allow direct installation for holes that are not pre-drilled.
Arch systems come separated and are locked together by screwing the keystone to arches. Arch spokes are simply installed by sliding over protrusions for secure registration of spokes into a strong and unified structure.
