A garden arch is a piece that can be used to support climbing plants, can serve as a decorative element, or provide a focal point in your garden, it is a doorway that invites you into a backyard or guide you between different areas of the space. Such a decoration will fit many gardens in various styles, and according to that, your arbor can be made of natural materials and branches or of wood or metal, and any of these will make your outdoor space look spectacular, especially if you cover it with climbing plants.
What Garden Arch To Choose?
An iron arch makes an ideal backdrop for climbing vines and flowers. The simple lines and sturdy, rustic structure provide good support, while allowing the plants to take center stage. A bit of rust or chipped paint adds to the appeal, as long as it doesn’t compromise the integrity of the structure or the wellbeing of the plants. A metal arch has some advantages compared to a wooden one: it’s durable, low-maintenance, weather-resistant, versatile and there are lots of modern designs to choose from.
A wooden arch of some color or a white one is a classic idea for many gardens. Complete a cottage-style garden with a charming painted wood arbor that spills over with blooms. To make the flowers pop, choose a traditional white design, like this one placed across a front walkway. White lattice installed along the sides of the arbor continues the cottage aesthetic. A wooden arch looks more classic and natural (especially if you don’t paint it), it adds appeal to your plants and blooms as it features color and texture. It’s not that weather-resistant or durable but you can fix it with some coats of special means or change it after some time, it won’t be that heavy to transport.
