1. Crocus Rustique Arch
"Put your trust in the rust with this classic arch that will turn to a rusty bronze colour over time"
Although it features a classically styled curved top and ladder style side panels, this arch adds a twist - or should we say rust?
Constructed from heavy duty steel rod, the Rustique will live up to its name because it is unpainted, so it will rust naturally over time and take on a wonderful vintage bronze finish.
It it a great option if you prefer the classical arch styling but would like a dash of colour to set it off.

"A unique arch design based on the famous whalebone arch on Whitby seafront"
This is a very unusual arch that has been inspired by the famous Whalebone arch on Whitby's seafront - a monument to that town's role in the whaling industry.
Instead of a traditional semi-circular or gothic pointed top section, the Whitby's slatted side panels come together and overlap at the top, echoing the shape of that famous monument.
This design also makes it unusually tall at over 2.5 metres, and it's wide too at 1.4 metres between the posts, so ideal for spanning a path or small seat.

"A solid timber arch made in the UK but with a distinctive Oriental design - 3ft wide version"

Helpfully available in 3 or 4ft wide versions, the stand out feature of this chunky timber arch is the magnificent top section.
Inspired by Japanese pagoda designs, this arch is actually made right here in the UK. The natural timber finish could be stained or painted to further enhance its appeal.

"A sturdy wrought iron arbour with a pleasing powder coated antique white finish"
This archway packs a double whammy - not only featuring a rare off-white finish, the seat has room for two people and would make a lovely place to while away warm summer evenings.
There's another advantage too - it is constructed from heavy wrought iron making it very sturdy - no worries about it tipping over when you sit down!
The arch features a tradition curved top section, with gothic curve details on the sides and seat back.
