Hi all,
I'm considering putting an arbor with a gate in my front lawn. Ideally it will hold grape vines, maybe clematis or other vining flowers just for beauty, but it won't be the main support for the grapes as there (hopefully) will be two trellis..is? Trelli? Anyway. Two other stretches for the grapes to mainly grow from, resulting in only extra vine on the arbor.
Any recommendations or warnings? I'm leaning towards metal for durability but there's no point to that if most metal arbors are cheaply made anymore anyway; that's what I worry about when I find things like this on Walmart.com...
Like is it ACTUALLY sturdy? Would it do the job?? I have no idea. I also would like the gate to latch, which makes a wooden gate attractive (not that metal gates don't latch I just like this one also) but same worry about durability.
Do I bother with "pretty" ones and just make my own from cow panel and scrap metal?
