Product Information

Full details

This flat-top metal garden arch is designed for gardeners looking to add an attractive vertical element to their outdoor spaces. Its key benefit is providing robust support for climbing plants, creating a natural green canopy and a welcoming entrance. A potential caveat is that its depth may limit the types of plants that can be grown directly at its base. The arch is constructed from powder-coated galvanised steel for durability and features a simple assembly process.
