Well now, ( :-) ) you probably want to screw the arbor to the fence for support.
Especially if you're going to just set it atop the concrete.
Are those some new kind of California low water use morning glories that grow on concrete ?
:-)
Morning glories can get growing pretty big/tall if they get some big tubs of dirt, nutrients and water for their feet.
It would be nice to put a tub on each side of the gate and put each side of the arbor in one, but it doesn't look like you have room on the hinge(house) side of that gate.
Plus you'd gain some arbor height.
Or I'm picturing it all wrong.
edit: yeah, you'll be spraying even the not so cheap ones with some flat black paint every year, if you even bother.
