Making Snazzy Re-purposed Garden Arches
Garden arches are a classic addition to any garden and can divide a space, create an ‘entrance or gate’ or just be a focal point. These gardeners have taken the typical garden arch a few steps further by using recycled or re-purposed materials.

Inspiring ! So many ways to create good looking arches. Some of the store bought wooden arches will warp over time. Found a sturdy, heavy duty garden arch made of salt treated lumber. Because it was warped it was cheap. Free or recycled items can be attached to this arch to hide any defects. I'll cover mine with driftwood after a bathtub sized planter is attached to the top.
