Arches & Arbours

Whether your garden leans towards traditional or contemporary, arches and arbours blend beauty and purpose, creating focal points you’ll enjoy year after year. Arches make a striking entrance or walkway feature, especially when entwined with flowering climbers. Arbours, often complete with built-in garden chairs, offer a peaceful retreat where you can relax beneath a canopy of foliage. Built from durable materials like treated timber or metal, these features are designed to withstand the elements while enhancing your garden’s character.

FAQs

What is the difference between an arbour and an arch?

An arch is a curved structure, often used to frame entrances or pathways and support climbing plants. An arbour typically includes a bench or seating area beneath a roofed or semi-enclosed structure, providing a sheltered spot to relax.

How do you secure a garden arch to the ground?

Garden arches can be secured by anchoring their posts into the ground using concrete footings or by attaching them to ground spikes, ensuring stability and durability.

What is the difference between an arbour and a pergola?

An arbour is a smaller structure, often with a bench and a roof, designed as a cosy retreat. On the other hand, a pergola is typically larger, consisting of an open-roof framework supported by posts, creating a shaded walkway or sitting area.
