Perhaps you have a garden with several themes need to find a way to link them together? A Garden Arbor can do that too. Not all gardens can be structured to leave a walk between different areas,
to give the visitor time to anticipate the new vista.
Perhaps there are functional areas that need discreet screen from a distance. Yes, a Garden Arbor can do that too! You may have a
y area for the children, or a recycle area, or simply a storage shed which does not shine as a feature.
Once you know what you want, where you are go
to put it, you can design a
n
build the Garden Arbor.
You must also decide whether to paint, stain or varnish your Arbor. Which you choose will depend on the Arbor's surrounds
the style you prefer. Wooden Garden Arbors will need some form of preserv
; a painted Arbor suits a painted fence; stained Arbors improve lesser quality lumber
give a change of tint or enhance Fall colors. Varnish will preserve the beauty of good-quality lumber, especially hardwoods.
Once that is done, the Arbor is in
ce, you need to choose climb
nts to grow over it. Wisteria, Roses, Honeysuckle, Clematis, Grape Vines - the list goes on. Be sure the site you have in mind is suitable for the
nt you want,
that the soil is appropriate to its needs. Some
nts love sun, others need their roots in shade but will tolerate some direct sun. Most, especially flower
types, cannot survive without plenty of light, so be sure your Arbor is not in permanent shade.
Enjoy your new Backyard Garden Arbor, be the envy of your friends! Just remember if you do too good a job, you may find yourself build
one for them!
