Garden arbours act as pleasantly shady outdoor alcoves that typically feature roofs and sides formed of climbing plants or trees. They’re the ideal spots to relax on a hot day, allowing you to enjoy the fresh air and scenery without catching too much sun. You can easily train plants and trees to climb their way around your arbour’s wooden framework. However, if you’d prefer to leave your arbour looking au naturel, it will look just as impressive in any corner of your garden. We have many different types of garden arbours that can be accommodated in a variety of small, medium, and large spaces. The main difference between an arbour and a pergola lies in their structure. An arbour is a freestanding structure that typically has an integral seat, an open front, and a roof, often made of lattice or trellis. Pergolas, on the other hand, are supported by posts and have a lattice roof and open sides, which provide more shade than an arbour. Garden Arbours are ideal for transforming a forgotten corner of your garden or creating a shady place to relax and t he soft curves of the Round Bower are at home in either a traditional or modern setting.

Similar to our Sussex Arbour, but with a smaller opening and a more rounded frame, this Bower gives a really secluded and enclosed feel with room for a two or three seater bench. In terms of size, arbours tend to be smaller than pergolas, making them ideal for smaller outdoor spaces. They also tend to be more affordable than pergolas and can be easier to install. Pergolas, on the other hand, are larger and more complex structures and may require professional installation. In terms of cost, arbours tend to be more affordable than pergolas, but the cost of both will depend on the size and materials used. Overall, both arbours and pergolas are great options for creating a pleasant outdoor space. If a collection needs to be arranged, this will be made for a weekday only, between standard working hours.

Roofs can resemble a pergola or pagoda and you’ll be sheltered from both intense sunshine and summer breezes, a thoroughly relaxing place to enjoy your own company or that of friends and family.A signature will be required upon delivery unless we have authorisation from you that the goods can be left. Many of the arbours have trellis sides over which climbers, especially scented varieties, can be trained. These will add to your enjoyment of a robust but attractive structure, a colourful garden focal point which may also possess practical qualities such as underseat storage where cushions and other small items can be tidied away and protected from the elements. Why Buy From Us? Our wooden arbours are available as freestanding structures, featuring a comfortable seat or bench underneath a sheltered roof. They are the perfect place for unwinding and enjoying a good book without worrying about rain. Garden arbours are stylish additions to any garden and they are the perfect location if you want to relax in the summer’s warmth, on your own with a good book or joined by family and friends for company and conversation. They are available from all the major suppliers of timber garden structures and there is a huge range from which to choose. Garden arbours are vertical structures with either two or four columns, a roof (generally in the Apex style), and sides that can be either screened off or left open. The lattice or trellis of some arbours in our range provides the perfect surface for climbing plants.

Garden arbours are a great way to bring shading, seclusion, and protection to a garden or patio area. They also provide a structure to hang climbing plants and vines, which can be used to add colour and scent, to the area. Brands such as Rowlinson, Zest, Shire and Forest offer a huge variety of contemporary and traditional designs built from high quality timber obtained from responsible sources. All the wood is treated so that rot will not be a problem for many years and your arbour can be painted or stained to blend beautifully with your garden.
