rain baptize harvesing + abundant design

Rainwater is concealed within a patio bar and seat wall in a backyard. Like setting a bunch of rain barrels right on your patio, and entertaining with them... Starting from the downspout, two lines are buried under the patio and gardens, filling the bar and seat wall from the bottom. The bar also houses a pump and 25' hose on a retractable reel. All of these systems fill from the bottom, so they do not need to be near the downspout. More examples can be found at www.second-rain.com.

Pergola Designs - 7 Sure-Fire Tips For Choosing The Best Design

There is a huge choice of pergola designs available. Here are 7 quick and easy tips for choosing the best one for your garden.

#1. Decide on your budget. You can do this for a few hundred dollars if you build it yourself, or anything up to $4500 is typical if you employ a contractor.

#2. Contact your "call before you dig" 811 number. Avoid building a pergola anywhere near underground utilities.

#3. How much shade do you want? You'll have more control if you build it yourself in wood. There's less flexibility if you get a kit made in vinyl or aluminum.

#4. Choose your materials wisely. Wood is the least expensive. It's also easy to work with. Only use pressure treated wood to protect against rot. Cedar wood will last for decades.

If you don't want any maintenance, then consider aluminum or vinyl if your budget will run to several thousand dollars.

#5. Mark out the size you are thinking of before you proceed. Is it in sensible proportion to the size of your garden? If it's to be a relaxing or entertaining, is it big enough and in a suitable location?

#6. Square and rectangular shapes are easier to build. You'll also have a much wider choice of designs. Triangular and circular designs are available but they're not so common.

#7. Keep in mind the purpose of your pergola. They make a great addition to any garden. They're great for giving some shade and a pleasant seating area, they're great as a focal point, or for connecting different areas of the garden together.

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.
