This is a photo of my Completed "Arbour" project.

Quite easy to make and i'm no expert joiner!! I bought two panels of 2ft x 6ft Trellis and four 7ft fence posts to make the sides. The roof was Fence boarding made in two sections, then bolted together. The back was just wood cladding fitted together, then painted in wood paint.

All was assembled with bolts & screws. I actually got the measurements , by copying a similar model at a local garden centre!....taking along a piece of paper a pen and a tape measure. Mine was actually stronger than theirs.

But I think it suits the Cottage Garden area and is a very nice place to sit and admire the garden in Summertime.

The path to the Arbour is Stone chippings on a landscaping membrane, supplied at garden centres on a roll. It prevents weeds from growing through it. But water can still soak away.
