The Wrenbury range of arches has increased recently with the addition of the round top version, but this is the classic orginal.

Another rustic arch to consider is the Kyre Arch by Grange which is in a similar style but is 2 metres wide making it suitable for paths up to 1.5 metres wide. The Atlas Arch has a similar tall apex shape but uses flat timber and has square trellis side and top panels.

Buyers Guide

Why buy a garden arch?
An archway can add height to a flat garden and provides an ideal home for colourful and fragrant climbing plants. A well-placed arch can also divide a garden into separate areas or, in conjunction with hedges or fencing, screen off utility areas such as washing lines or bins.
Metal or wooden arches?
Wooden arches for gardens tend to be more suited to traditional settings, and their natural timber construction blends in well. The timer is usually pressure treated to protect against rot, and they are usually of a green of brown colour. Trellis side panels are popular, as is the rustic effect made with rounded larch poles.
Metal arches are more contemporary are are well suited to more urban situations. Most metal arches for gardens are plain steel or painted black and can range from simple designs to those with very ornate detailing. Side panels can sometimes be trellis style but often they are open. Some galvanised steel frames can easily be painted any colour you like.
Garden Arbours
In their most basic form arbours are simply garden archways but with a fixed seat under the arch. They can be metal or wooden. Wooden arbours tend to be more enclosed are therefore more suited to the variable British weather. Often supplied in a natural finish, wooden arbours are often painted in bright or heritage shades to blend in with their surroundings.
