Create an attractive entrance or focal point with our range of wooden garden arches. Ideal for positioning over pathways, between different areas of your garden or as a standalone feature, garden arches provide an easy way to add height and structure to your outdoor space.
Trellised designs can also support climbing plants, allowing you to train favourites such as roses and clematis around the arch to create an eye-catching living feature.
Yes, many wooden garden arches can be painted or stained to complement your garden. However, check whether the timber has already been treated and follow the manufacturer’s care instructions before applying any additional paint, stain or wood preservative.
Young shoots can be gently guided towards the sides of the arch and secured to the trellis or framework using suitable soft garden ties where required. As the plant develops, continue guiding new growth around the structure. The best approach will depend on the climbing plant you choose.
Popular choices include climbing roses, clematis, honeysuckle and other suitable climbing plants. Before planting, consider the plant’s eventual size, growing conditions and support requirements to make sure it’s appropriate for your particular garden arch.
Regularly inspect the timber and fixings for signs of wear or damage and keep vegetation under control so you can check the structure when necessary. Treatment requirements vary depending on the timber and any preservative treatment already applied, so follow the care instructions supplied with your arch.
The lifespan of a wooden garden arch will depend on factors including the timber, treatment, installation, maintenance and exposure to weather. Correct installation and following the manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations can help keep the structure in good condition for longer.
