Garden Arbor With Gate

Lily Wright

A garden arbor can be used for two things. First, the arbor can add an extra level of privacy and security in your garden. It may also be ideal in providing shade during sunny days. Arbors are used as garden accents and will blend with the plant life to transform the landscape. They may sometimes also be used to provide support for climbing plants and flowers. Many arbor designs are available in the market these days but going with an option that has a door is often a great idea.

A door will enhance security and privacy in the first place. It's also a unique take on garden arbors that will deliver excellent accent value to your landscape.

Tips To Choose An Arbor

Construction:

A garden arbor with gate is usually a square or rectangular structure crafted out of tubular iron, steel or metal that allows for plants, flowers, vines, and greenery to climb and grow on it. There are often vertical columns or side panels featuring decorative scrollwork. Thomas Woltz suggests incorporating a garden arbor with gate with a timeless arched trellis if you're hosting an outdoor wedding or party. A garden arbor with gate is usually staked into the ground for added stability. It can be a tall structure that stands anywhere from 40 to over 100 inches high. The gate may feature one door or double doors that are hinged to the side support panels that open and shut allowing entry to any garden, walkway, backyard, deck, or porch area.

Finish:

Since a garden arbor with gate is continually exposed to the outdoor elements, it's vital for the decorative structure to be finished in a protective veneer to help alleviate sun damage. Robert Stilin suggests that if you're looking to go for a more traditional look with your garden arbor with gate, you should choose powder-coated steel which gives both UV and all-weather protection. For something slightly more contemporary, a gun-metal finish gives a sleeker look that helps prevent rust and corrosion. Another option for your garden arbor with gate is to have it finished in black epoxy or another galvanizing compound which helps prevent steel and iron from deteriorating over the years. For those looking for a distressed look that adds character to any outdoor area, you can finish your garden arbor with gate in a white or cream outdoor paint to give it an antique fence look.

Additional features:

It's helpful for easy assembly when a garden arbor with gate comes with ground stakes or an anchoring kit to ensure that it stays in place. Some structures may come with ground nails and a nail hole on each column. For avid plant enthusiasts, Anooshey Rahim recommends fully incorporating your garden arbor with gate into your garden by getting one with plant boxes attached to the side columns. And if you have pets, it's nice to find a garden arbor with gate that comes with a latch and lock. There are also lots of theme options that come with decorative panels across the gates that include floral details or even a 'Tree of Life' design. You can also add an atmospheric glow to your outdoor area by finding a garden arbor with gate that comes with twinkly lights made for outside or seasonal use.

What size should my arbor be?

This will probably be the first question on your mind when starting to look for an arbor. It's really important to get the right size, or you'll throw off the balance of your outdoor space - an arbor that's too small will be very underwhelming, while one that's too large may become a nuisance to maintain.

First, choose the area of your garden where you want to place the arbor. Aim for a spot along a path, or near the entrance to the space.
Measure out roughly how much clearance you have both vertically and horizontally. Pay especially close attention to any low-hanging branches that may interfere with the arbor!
Consider exactly what you want the arbor for. If you just want something for your plants to sit on, consider a smaller arbor. If you want to make a great impression on guests and love a little drama, go for a bigger one.
Arbors can range from 42 inches up to an impressive 122 inches in width, and are usually between 7 feet and 8 feet tall.

What material should my arbor be made of?

Since you'll be keeping your arbor outdoors for at least a couple years, you'll want something durable that ages well. There are 3 main materials used to make arbors, each with their pros and cons.

Want something rustic? => Wood

The natural and rustic appearance of wooden arbors complements outdoor spaces incredibly well by creating a welcoming atmosphere.
While all wood types do usually suffer from some weather-related wear, certain wood types can withstand the environment better than others, like teak or cedar.
Make sure to thoroughly research the type of wood you settle for to ensure you know all about the upkeep needed.

Need something that will last you decades? => Metal

Metal arbors are relatively easy to care for and can withstand the elements pretty well.
With time and exposure, the metal will probably develop a soft green patina, but we think that just adds some natural allure!
When it comes to design, metal arbors are usually quite simple, leaving you with a lot of creative freedom to display your plants.
Make sure your metal arbor is sturdy - some are made a bit too thin and flimsy, meaning that they will almost definitely fall over with a bigger gust of wind.

Prefer something contemporary? => Vinyl

Vinyl arbors are best suited for areas that experience extreme weather - they're able to withstand both freezing temperatures and scorching heat.
These arbors won't patina like metal, nor will they splinter or fade like wood.
Some vinyl arbors are made to replicate more natural materials, but on closer inspection seem to lack that rustic charm.
Also, vinyl arbors can sometimes be much more expensive than wooden or metal ones since they are a relatively new design.

Want a seamless and natural look? => Vines and stones

This style of arbor can give your garden a sort of fairy-tale appearance.
The arbors are mostly made up of completely natural stones, vines, or hedges that have been specially shaped to fit their new role.
They provide some great shade in the outdoor space and often have a little bench underneath them for guests to rest on.
Some natural arbors do have some sort of wire or wooden beam supporting them, but they are still mainly made up of foliage.
Many people consider this style of arbor to be a unique variation of a topiary, since it can be considered a landscaped structure.
These natural arbors are very popular in large, paved gardens, and you'll often find multiple arches lining a whole path.

What style of arbor will suit me best?

Once you decide on the size and material of your arbor, you can start looking around at the different styles available. Not every style can be easily made from all 3 materials mentioned above, so choose carefully!

Want a traditional arbor? => Arched

This is the style you probably picture in your head when someone mentions arbors.
As you may have guessed from the name, these arbors are distinguished by their arched tops.
They're most often used to mark the entrance and exit points in the garden and are usually small to medium in size.
Metal is the most popular material for arched arbors as it's very easy to craft it into a flowing arch shape.
Vinyl is a great material for arched arbors too, but it isn't commonly used, while wood is rarely used because of how difficult it can be to craft.
Natural arbors are also often arched as it is the easiest shape to achieve when working with plants or stones.

Want something unique? => Gabled

Gabled arbors make use of a pitched roof design, similar to that of a traditional cottage.
These arbors are often paired with small benches and are placed strategically throughout the outdoor space to provide your guests with a shady place to sit.
They are most commonly made out of wood, and sometimes incorporate brick or tile into the roof element.

Want an impressive structure? => Traditional

Most traditional arbors are rectangular in shape, with a flat top to contrast the plants climbing up them.
They are distinguished by their open frameworks that often include lattices.
These arbors are often quite massive and look very impressive both from afar and up close.
Like gabled arbors, they are usually made out of wood, but can also sometimes be found in vinyl.
Traditional arbors are usually the sturdiest type because of their size and weight, but may also come with a hefty price tag!
