For an easy assembly, the rafters are pre-notched and the arch comes with comprehensive instructions. This is more than a simple arch structure though. It comes with two planters, in the same colour as the arch, which you attach to the bottom of each side. Holding 44 litres of soil and plants each, these planters can hold your climbing plants as well as any potted plants. This adds another level of colour and fragrance to your arch. The planters add stability to this arch, which is useful because the kit comes without any anchoring fittings. In addition, they allow you to set the arch on a hard surface and still grow flowers and vines. Pros The Rowlinson Square Top Arch has a natural finish that you can sand down lightly and then stain or paint using your chosen colour.

If you like colour, don’t be put off by the natural finish and green tint of the garden arch. You can paint or stain it with whichever hue you want but we recommend sanding it down lightly first. The 10-year warranty against rot damage shows how resistant the wood is so you do get that extra peace of mind.

Specification

If you're wondering what design or material to opt for when choosing a garden arch, Morris encourages people to think about the ideal look and feeling you want to achieve in your space. "The choice is very much dictated by the setting," he says. "Arches are available in a good variety of materials so there is sure to be an arch that fits your design, perhaps formed from chestnut, woven hazel or willow — or something much more contemporary such as Corton Steel. You can even use upcycled and reclaimed materials such as weldmesh or scaffolding. The latter choices are more typical of a modern urban setting, with natural materials being more appropriate for a cottage garden look."
