Know before you buy
Yes, the steel is designed to develop a natural, protective rusted patina. While it arrives with a weathered look, exposure to the elements will deepen the finish over time, creating a unique aesthetic that blends seamlessly into a garden environment.
Because this is a heavy-duty steel structure, we recommend anchoring the feet into the soil or onto a hardscape surface. Depending on your ground type, you may need to use ground stakes or concrete footings to ensure the arbor remains stable, especially once covered in heavy climbing vines.
The right size depends on the width of your walkway and the desired clearance. We offer four sizes ranging from 3 feet to nearly 6 feet in width; ensure you account for the plant growth that will eventually extend inward from the sides of the frame.
Absolutely. The durable steel construction is specifically engineered to handle the weight of mature, woody climbing plants. The open frame design provides plenty of attachment points for vines to weave through and secure themselves as they grow.
The arbor is designed to be low-maintenance and does not require sealing. The natural rust acts as a protective barrier for the steel, so you can simply leave it outdoors year-round to age gracefully.
