Garden Arches Can Enhance Your Garden's Design

Garden Arches are perfect for growing climbing plants such as roses or clematis up and over. An arch is a really useful piece of outdoor furniture that can add the wow factor to your gardens entrance or across a pathway. Designers often use a garden arch to separate one area of a garden from another, as you step through the arch you are leaving one area and entering another.

Location
When deciding where to place an arch in your garden you might want to consider using it at the entry point, patio or decking area. The arch will allow you to create a wonderful entrance that will look beautiful covered in blossoming climbing plants. An arch can also add a beautiful focal point to a path or walkway. Alternatively you may wish to consider placing an arch in a secluded area of your garden with a seat beneath so that you can sit and relax in a peaceful place sheltered from the weather. If you are considering using an arch to cover a seat or bench you may want to consider purchasing an arbour instead as this type of outdoor furniture is a sheltered garden seat.

Climbing plants
By growing climbing plants up and around a garden arch you can enhance your garden vertically. A garden arch also gives you the opportunity to try growing wonderful plants such as vines and climbing roses which will look glorious when in bloom. There are garden arches available with planters included in their structure meaning that you can place your arch anywhere in the garden and be able to grow climbing plants successfully.

Alternatively you can grow climbing fruit and vegetables up and around your garden arch such as grapes or beans. An arch is a great solid structure that can support a whole variety of plants.

My top tip - Don't put your garden arch in the shade if you are planning to grow climbing plants.

Materials
Garden arches are available in metal or timber. Metal arches can be either contemporary or classic in design depending on the style you prefer and are made from iron or coated steel. Metal garden arches are extremely durable and require little/no maintenance.

Wooden garden arches are more traditional and blend easily into your gardens backdrop as they are made from natural products. If you are planning to buy a wooden garden arch I advise you to purchase one that has been made from pressure treated timber.
