Do the footings first, with the attach points to bolt down the arches. Build the first arch, stand it up and brace it in squared up position, bolt down the feet, both sides. [make sure the width measurements are right on the mark. Then, build each successive arch by bolting the segments to the one standing up. Two guys on a man lift basket can handle each segment and get it secured into place. Tip, put all the bolts in all the holes with nuts and washers hand tight until you get the next segments in place which gives you some "wiggle room" to fit it all together, then tighten the previous segment. Make sure none of the segment joints line up with the previous arch segment joints, so you don't build a "failure line" into the structure. Once you get it started right, it will go together like a giant leggo set. Also, once the structure is up and bolted down to the footings, you can pour the concrete floor in the shade.
