Here you can see the arches. Each box is wide enough to fit 2 light cheap trellises ($4-8.00 from Harbor Freight). I set them in place then tied them together with electrical ties where they touched in several places. Then I drove electrical fence posts into the box beside the 3 positions where the vertical arch poles entered the soil--right , center, and left. Then tied the ele fence posts to the arches with wire or ele ties. The ele fence posts are ugly and it is best to plant something that will cover them quickly to the left and right.
These are sturdy but 75-100 mile winds will still do great damage.
