Round Top Garden Arches
A garden arch with a semi-circular top section is that timeless, elegant design that has been proven over thousands of years. Perhaps draped with roses, clematis or other climbing plants to create fragrant doorway between two sections of your garden.
These arches, often being taller than usual can be sunk further into the ground improving stability whilst maintaining a decent height.
As you can imagine, there are many versions on the market, with most major brands having a nice selection of both timber and metal arches.
Here is our round-up of some of the most popular and reasonably priced round top garden arches.

1. Rowlinson Round Top Arch
"The classic rounded top design is ideal to add height to your garden"
Round top arches tend to be quite tall and this one is certainly no exception. The Rowlinson is also wider than average has, and is particularly good value for money given its size.
The smooth planed timber looks good and does add a touch of class, and of course can be further enhanced by painting or staining.
Product Page2. PoppyForge Buckingham Arch
"A high quality British made arch constructed from solid steel and zinc prime coating"
The Buckingham is a solid performer - quite literally as it is made from solid steel and weighs a hefty 33kg. A black antique paint finish has been applied over the ornate scrollwork.
It's almost 1.4 metres wide, but if this is not enough you can also get hold of optional 1 or 2 metre width extenders. Furthermore, there's also a half-arch version for fixing to a wall.
Product Page3. Selections Amalfi Arch
"An elegant and very popular metal arch finished in black that is affordable and easy to install"
The Amalfi is a consistently strong seller that has a timeless design and some nice scroll-work on the side panels to add interest.
Despite the low price, it is made from heavier grade steel than other low-cost arches, and comes with the added bonus of ground spikes for extra stability.
Product Page4. Crocus Rustique Arch
"Put your trust in the rust with this classic arch that will turn to a rusty bronze colour over time"
Crocus are one of the UK's biggest plant sellers, and have small range of garden arches - all of which are a little different.
If you are looking for a traditional style archway but find the usual black finish a little too ordinary this could be the answer.
It is unpainted, so it will rust naturally over time and take on a wonderful vintage bronze finish.
Product Page5. Rowlinson Wrenbury Arch
"Part of the Wrenbury range of stylish gunmetal finished arches"
The Wrenbury series of arches (there is a also a flat top version) all feature a stylish gunmetal grey finish and attractive lattice work on the side panels.
The arch can be sunk into soft soil or bolted to hard ground and you can actually connect several together to create a walkway or tunnel.
Product Page6. Crocus Rustic Cream Arch
"A hard-to-find white/cream coloured metal arch with some really nice scroll detailing"
Most metal arches are supplied painted black so it is nice to see this elegant and detailed cottage style arch finished in a lovely creamy off-white colour.
This unique colouring would make it ideal for weddings and special occasions, perhaps draped with some realistic looking roses or other climbing plants.
Four heavy duty metal pegs are included for installing the arch securely in soil or grass.
Product Page7. Agriframes Round Arch
"A classically styled round arch available in a range of height, width and depth options"
A premium metal arch from garden structure specialists, Agriframe. It's available in a variety of width and height combinations - from 1.5 to 3.6 metres wide, and lattice infill panels are an optional extra.
All arches feature UV Resistant Coating and are galvanised both inside and out for extra durability. In addition, Agriframes arches come with a 10 year guarantee.
Product Page8. Crocus Sage Green Round Arch
"A distinctive circular steel arch featuring decorative motifs and a soft sage green finish."
Finished in a soft sage green with a lightly weathered texture, this perfectly round steel arch creates a distinctive and balanced shape in the garden.
A lattice infill runs around the circumference, providing plenty of support for climbing plants, and features small decorative flower motifs that add subtle interest.
Made from high grade steel, it is supplied with sturdy feet designed for anchoring into the ground and the glat-pack sections are easily to assemble.
