Rustic Garden Arbor Design

A garden arbor will become a focal point of any garden and can be made from wood, metal, plastic or the more modern vinyl.

You can choose to have an arbor over a path, or you can put seating underneath it for a relaxing spot in the garden. The arbor can be just an arched frame or you choose to have lattice work up the sides to support climbing plants.

Currently the trend is using an arbor as an extra sort of outdoor room in your garden. It is mostly used for entertaining. You can choose large arbors for a large entertainment seating area or a little hideaway for yourself.

There are so many choices for arbors and they come in different materials and different styles. You can choose to build your own, have one made or use a kitset.

If you have a country style garden you may want to use wood that has a rustic look to it to integrate it fully into your garden. If you are looking for something more modern, a simple arch in vinyl may just be exactly what you are wanting. If you buy a readymade arbor from a company, you may find that they also sell planter boxes and matching seats or benches made in the same material and style and you can buy these to incorporate a whole new look in your garden.

With a garden being nature's bequest, a clever decorator adds character to the garden in organic style. It seems backward to have plastic in an area that has been created for live plants and flowers. Rustic garden furniture is a striking choice, some made from a variety of woods. Metal furniture will also allow it to keep its rustic notion.

Garden furnishings made of wood are sturdy and blends into the natural canvas of the great outdoors; wood ages naturally and smells distinct. Wood furniture is many times made by hand, presenting the opportunity to have a piece custom-made. Beautifully sculpted dining sets, benches, and swings, put the finishing touch. Handmade wood fittings are not hammered together using perfectly angled two-by-fours, but each board has its own contour and personality from a first cutting.

Metal furniture presents its own rustic accent, but in a more modern style. With a larger choice of colors and elaborate designs, metal is very popular. This is strong furniture but also light enough to be moved around the area. There is a diverse selection of arches, chairs, and tables. A strong feature of metal fittings is how many different ways the rungs are fashioned and assembled.
