Product Information

The round arch sold by Crocus is a perfectly round metal arch measuring a very generous 7.5 feet (2.4m) in diameter. Here are 4 popular arches that will add the wow factor to any outdoor space, but won't break the bank during these straitened times.

Forest Garden have the slatted arch, a stunning contemporary arch that is all lines and right angles! There are matching fence panels too so you can build an uber-modern outdoor space. Yet another reason to select a metal arch is that a number of half-arches are available - these are ideal for installing in a side return or alleyway where you would not normally be able to fit a full arch. One side is anchored into the ground and the other side is fixed to the wall. Wooden arbours tend to be more enclosed and are therefore more suited to the variable British weather. If you're a fan of TV gardening shows, then you may have seen this flower circle featured on ITV's 'Love Your Garden' with Alan Titchmarsh, or in John Cavill's show garden at Gardeners' World Live. You can read more about the flower circle being featured on TV in our blog post here. Alternatively, if you're looking for something similar but in a more traditional style, have a look at our freestanding Moon gate arch for a fantastic alternative.A lot of cheaper metal arches tend to be made from hollow tubular steel which makes them lightweight but more susceptible to damage in bad weather. Often supplied in a natural finish, wooden arbours can be painted in bright or heritage shades to blend in with their surroundings. Made right here in the UK from solid steel, the Monet arch is a generous 5ft wide. The minimal styling can be enhanced with optional lattice infill panels. Crafted from quality timber that has been sourced from FSC-certified forests, each circle has undergone a pressure treatment process that helps to protect the structure from weathering and rot. It can be left in its natural timber state or painted at home to match your garden's theme. In their most basic form arbours are simply metal or wooden archways but with a fixed seat under the arch.

Metal by nature is much more flexible than chunky timber so if you are looking for a more distinctive, ornate or perhaps even contemporary garden archway then your best choice is a metal one.There are some quite wide ranging styles available in both timber and metal, so if you are in the market for a new archway this should be required reading! Chunky timber arches are quite sturdy but still need to be installed correctly. You can do this by concreting the posts into the ground - just like you would a fence post. Wooden arches tend to be more suited to traditional settings, and their natural timber construction blends in well. The timber is usually pressure treated to protect against rot and is light green or tan in appearance. When you have distinctly partitioned parts of the garden, maybe a section for vegetables or a rose garden, an attractive garden arch can connect these elements to create a cohesive landscape. A garden arch can also act as a focal point for a lawn, purely decorative but enhancing any plain landscape with structural interest.

You could also consider placing some heavy planters either side of the archway and securely fixing the arch to them, to make an attractive yet sturdy feature. Trellis panels often feature on the top or sides of the archway to aid climbing plants, and can also cast attractive shadows on a nice sunny day.

Out of all the timber garden arches for sale, some feature classic rounded top sections but you will find that most are constructed from straight, overhead rafters supported on solid timber uprights, giving a rather squared off, even oriental appearance. The vast majority of wooden arches are supplied treated against rot, but are otherwise bare, natural timber. Installing an arch is a simple and effective way to transform your garden and create a stunning focal point. 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. Forest Garden's Ryeford arch is an elegant timber arch with classic trellis side panels to really help your climbing plants get established, and a pleasing curved top section with notched rafters. It is not recommended to leave a metal arch unsecured on a hard surface, but if your installation is proving problematic consider placing some heavy planters either side of the archway and securely fixing the arch to them.
