Garden Arbor or Garden Arbour

By John Rea

Garden arbors can really bring out the best in a garden. Any climbing plant looks great over an arbor whether it be a rose or honeysuckle. Arbors have been around many years, for as long as people have been building structures and they were hugely popular during the Victorian era.

A garden arbor will become a focal point of any garden and can be made from wood, metal, plastic or the more modern vinyl.

You can choose to have an arbor over a path, or you can put seating underneath it for a relaxing spot in the garden. The arbor can be just an arched frame or you choose to have lattice work up the sides to support climbing plants.

Currently the trend is using an arbor as an extra sort of outdoor room in your garden. It is mostly used for entertaining. You can choose large arbors for a large entertainment seating area or a little hideaway for yourself.

There are so many choices for arbors and they come in different materials and different styles. You can choose to build your own, have one made or use a kitset.

If you have a country style garden you may want to use wood that has a rustic look to it to integrate it fully into your garden. If you are looking for something more modern, a simple arch in vinyl may just be exactly what you are wanting. If you buy a readymade arbor from a company, you may find that they also sell planter boxes and matching seats or benches made in the same material and style and you can buy these to incorporate a whole new look in your garden.
