Garden Arbours

Types of Arbours

Wooden arbours 

A wooden arbour complements the natural beauty of your garden and is the classic choice for a sheltered seating option. Choose from pressure-treated timber with slatted roofs for an airy feel, or a wooden arbour with a canopy and padded seating for extra shelter for summer showers!

Arbour with canopy

An arbour with a canopy will offer more protection against rain and UV rays, so you can spend more time outside on sunny days. We have different colours available to suit your space, or go for a full wooden canopy to add your own twist with wood paint and stain.

Arbour with slatted roof

A slatted roof will provide dappled shade and a more open, airy feel. This design is ideal for climbing plants which can work their way around the slats and give your arbour a naturally stunning sheltered roof.

Benefits of Buying a Wooden Garden Arbour

Beautiful seating feature

Having an arbour in your garden is a wonderful way of making the most of a sunny spot, a place for you to sit back and relax with a cuppa. With the addition of climbing plants, a garden arbour can be another opportunity for colour in your garden in Spring and Summer.

Shelter

Compared to a garden bench, an arbour provides shade and shelter against the sun and light rain, so you can enjoy your garden even more! Make it a comfy place to relax with some outdoor cushions for extra luxury.

Support for climbing plants

Your garden arbour and climbing plants are the best of friends. Elevate the look of your garden by adding some height and letting plants like sweet peas, climbing roses, and ivy decorate your arbour by climbing upwards. Simply put your plant pots each side and encourage your flowers to grow up the arbour with the use of plant canes & supports, then let nature do its thing.
