We are going to use this tree at a wedding reception. Should I put it together on site, or transport it already built?

I put mine together on site. It takes about 5 minutes to do, and frankly wouldn't fit in my car put together!!

I had mine put together before, because I decorated it a little bit! However it does not take long to put together. You also can have it assembled before, and then carry it in 3 big pieces, rather than completely apart!

Put it together on site. It is much easier to transport unassembled, and putting it together doesn't take long at all.

I put mine together at home simply because I wrapped it and attached ribbon to the borders to jazz it up a little. I also applied clear glue to the connecting parts to make sure it stayed together. I made it to the celebration site with no problem. I also had the room in my SUV to transport it.

I used mine for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. I put it together once at home just so I knew what I was doing. I wrapped mine with Gold foil so I did this part at home too. I transported it broken down to the venue. It took me a whole 5 minutes to set it up. Hope this helps.

For my wedding we put it together on site. You will be able to transport a lot more stuff with it flat.

You need to assemble it. It was complex but it is beautiful once assembled.

The tree that I received was broken down into smaller pieces that you adhere together on the wall or surface you are installing it to. The pieces were numbered to help you know where to apply them. I do not believe that you can order extra pieces but I did not install the pictures frames and the tree looked perfect with out them. I may use them for another project.

Sounds like a nice idea and very pretty too. I hate to say it but the only answer I have for you is "maybe" right now. It's not something you can judge unless you've tried to do it using precisely the size hook you will purchase (supposing their different heights might have different thicknesses of wrought iron and different lengths of the two ends that get stuck into the ground and certainly different weights on the entire hook pieces themselves because of all that.) So I'd buy 1 of everything needed to make up one completed set-up. Next I'd weigh up precisely the specific individual weights of your jar/least amt. of water necessary/flowers/hook, then tally the total weight involved. I'd then try to implant it into the particular kind of dirt/soil at the locations you'll be pushing the hook into on the wedding day. Also try it in the different locations around that property to test that the weightn will be secire in those particular different types of soil you can find on one property. For instance, if there was an area that had a rock garden and an area full of trees with a lot of roots spread through the ground, this test might show me that I'd have to change my plan to shape the overal arrangement layout on the ground into an oval shape rather than a circle of arrangements. I'd even try it in wet ground on the morning after a rainfall on a previous night. Then I'd have no surprises and I'd have a plan A + B to work with on wedding day, IF all else looks like it would work out in the first place.

I live in Glendale, Southern California. This plant should be put in a place that you know for sure is where you would like it. It Does Not like to be transplanted or even moved and will show you resentment. It had a Fit when I moved it and had a setback. It likes dappled sun or half day sun, half day shade. Don't over water, but don't let the soil dry out. It is very important to Not let it be in direct sun all day in summer or during a heat wave because the leaves will burn. Best of the best tree I ever bought.

I am delighted with the purchase. I was using a tree as one of the anchors, but the tree was removed last month....have just ordered another one and it should be here this week. Anchor it properly and enjoy! I do......

We've had ours outdoors in the woods for a year just as it came. Looks great. Cypress has a degree of longevity, but it would probably be sensible to put a stain on it anyway.

We did have two people, but I could have done it alone. Assemble the sides and the top so you have three big pieces, lay it on the side and add the sides to the top. Add screws to the top arch part. Don't add the rest of the screws until you're done and you can stand it up and level it. The screws we got were self-tapping, so we didn't need to pre-drill the holes. We assembled it all on a cement patio (use a level). When all the screws are in place, stand underneath it and grab the stronger horizontal bars and move it to where you want it. It's not heavy. Make sure the distance between the sides is the same at top and bottom. Mark the place for the holes, dig them, add gravel or small rocks under the in-ground leg extensions to level it and then fill in the dirt and stomp it down. We love our arch and have a night-blooming jasmine growing on it. It's lovely and has withstood some fairly strong winds.

You certainly do not want to damage a young, small tree with nails and screws. I would suggest purchasing a wooden post, treated, and nail a square block of wood on the top of the post to accommodate the width of the feeder. If you dig deep enough the extra weight would not affect the balance of the post. It would look quite handsome beside your tree.

depends how big the tree is. If it's a smaller tree this will be fine, but if it is a normal sized tree than you should get bigger tracks

It was a gift for my mom, & she got a base for it at Home Depot I believe. She got a base you would put a big plant or small tree in!

Yes, I think so. We put A LOT of flowers on it and the wedding was outside near the water (not at the beach though). We had the groomsmen put it together before the wedding and it didn't blow away or anything. It's still standing outside in a garden area at my parents house and doesn't fall over. So I think it would probably be durable enough.

It is fairly heavy, but can be moved if needed. It isn't a piece of solid oak or anything. I wouldn't expect to move it much or very often, however, and don't consider it "mobile."

Hi; if you want to place it outside you can do it but I never have done it yet. If I should do it I would put another blanquet onderneed

That is what we did. It is beautiful. a little hard at first to assemble a least for us. We left it together and tied it to the luggage rack and took it there and brought it back. It is fairly light and very sturdy. We fit under it nicely for the for the ceremony. Good luck Allison...

Yes, we have moved it. It's bulky and takes two people. You wouldn't want to move it often.

Clematis are great on this arbor. I believe wisteria would be a little to heavy for this frame.
