New England Arbors Is Going Green

New England Arbors Is Going Green

With growing environmental concerns and the struggle to slow down global warming, New England Arbors has taken a ‘green’ approach to conducting business. We understand that it takes great commitment and dedication to make an environmental impact through conservation and reduced consumption. That commitment is our continuing challenge.

How is New England Arbors making a difference?

Our PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) products are made using recycled material on the inside of the extrusion. The outside layers are made of virgin PVC to keep the extrusion white for a life time. The percentage of recycled material varies from product to product.  All paper, plastic, aluminum, wooden skids, corrugated boxes and even ink cartridges are recycled.

PVC lasts a lifetime. Using PVC relieves pressure on deforestation concerns.  PVC does not require painting or staining. Using other materials like wood or wrought iron requires regular maintenance. Chemicals from paint and stain can drain into the earth, wash into your streams and rivers and compromise fragile ecosystems.

We strive to eliminate unnecessary packaging.

We conserve natural resources by using energy and water wisely and seek further opportunities to improve the resource efficiency of our manufacturing plant.

We comply with environmental laws and will maintain programs and procedures to ensure compliance.

At New England Arbors, we realize that being an efficient, profitable business while being environmentally conscious is an attainable and sustainable goal.

Installation Ideas

Perfect Placement - Give your yard a beautiful entry that says "welcome home".

Gardens enrich our lives. They soothe us, stimulate our senses and welcome all who enter. Your garden’s degree of formality, sense of place, cultural references and general atmosphere all communicate a message about who you are and what you like. When thoughtfully placed, your New England arbor will act as a symbolic doorway into the garden - always open in welcome - that beckons us to pass.

As with any garden structure, select one in scale with your yard and home. Careful placement will promote passage or emphasize a sense of entry or exit. Perhaps privacy and a cool place of shaded retreat are your objectives. Or maybe your garden needs a bold centerpiece to create a breath-taking focal point. Whatever your selection, we’re certain that our products will find a home on your property and a place in your heart.

Materials Included: (In 2 boxes)
One 5" sq. x 94" Post
One 5" sq. Lamp post cap
One 5" sq. Trim cap
One 6 1/2" sq. x 24" Base molding
One Hardware kit (Includes): Tube of vinyl cement

Tools Required:
Wheelbarrow or bucket (to mix concrete)
Tape measure
Level
Shovel

Materials (Optional):
1 Solar lamp (sold separately or complete with post)
One 5" sq. treated wood post (Optional).
Two bags of pre-mix concrete. (Strongly recommended for the stability of this product. See step 5, for instructions.)

Step 1. Slip the trim cap (part 3) over one end of the post (part 1). Slide it down until the top of the cap is sitting approx. 10" below the end of the post. Glue in place with the vinyl cement provided. Note: you will need to pinch the tabs on the inside of the cap to allow it to slide over the post.

Step 2. Apply a bead of vinyl cement to the under side of the lamp post cap (part 2). To ensure proper attachment to the post, apply the vinyl cement to all internal "contact" points of the cap.

Step 3. Place the lamp post cap onto the end of the post as illustrated. Push the cap on firmly until the end of the post "bottoms out" on the inside of the cap. Allow a few minutes for the cement to cure.

Step 4. Slip the base molding (part 4) over the opposite end of the post. Slide it along until the bottom of the base molding measures 24" from the end of the post (this will be your in-ground allowance). Using the vinyl cement, glue the molding in place. Again, allow a few minutes for the cement to cure.

Step 5. Dig a 24" deep hole in the desired location. Verify the depth of the hole to ensure that the exposed post will be completely buried. Fill the hole 3/4 full with pre-mix concrete (not included). Insert the post into the concrete and check for level. Allow time for the concrete to set, then fill in the remainder of the hole. Note: for a deeper installation or added strength, you can include treated wood inside the vinyl post.

Step 6. Follow the instructions included with the solar lamp (if nessesary), and secure it to the round sleeve on top of the post. If you did not purchase the solar lamp, disregard this step. Note: If you are using an alternate lamp or light, you may need to modify how it attaches to the sleeve.
