Welcome to Our Selection of Arbours
Welcome to our selection of arbours. An arbour is more than just a garden structure; it is a peaceful retreat, a decorative feature and a practical addition to any outdoor area. Whether you are looking for a quiet spot to read, a charming entrance to another part of your garden, or a beautiful frame for climbing plants, an arbour offers a lot.
At Taylor Made Planters, we understand the importance of creating inviting and lasting outdoor spaces. Our arbours are designed and built with care, using materials chosen for their strength and ability to withstand the British weather. We focus on practical designs that look good and serve a real purpose, giving you a comfortable and long-lasting feature for your garden.
Bringing Charm and Function to Your Garden
An arbour can transform a simple garden path into a delightful journey or turn an unused corner into a cosy haven. It provides a natural focal point, drawing the eye and adding a sense of structure and depth to your outdoor design. Imagine sitting in your own private nook, surrounded by the beauty of your garden, perhaps with a cup of tea on a sunny afternoon.
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, arbours are incredibly functional. They offer a comfortable place to sit and relax, a shaded spot during warmer days, and a sheltered retreat when the weather is a bit less predictable. They also serve as an excellent support for a variety of climbing plants, helping you introduce more greenery and natural beauty into your space.
Built to Last and Our Quality Materials
The foundation of any good outdoor structure is the quality of its materials. We believe in using only the best timber, sourced responsibly and prepared to ensure it stands the test of time. Our commitment to durability means you can enjoy your arbour for many years without worrying about constant upkeep.
Every arbour we offer is constructed from high-quality wood, specifically chosen for its natural strength and character. This careful selection process is just the first step in ensuring that your new garden feature is robust and reliable, ready to face the elements season after season. We also offer a wide range of outdoor wooden planters to complement your arbour perfectly.
Pressure-Treated Timber
All of our arbours are made using pressure-treated timber. This process involves impregnating the wood with preservatives under high pressure, which forces the protective chemicals deep into the timber fibres. This treatment protects the wood against rot, decay, and insect attack, significantly extending its lifespan and reducing the need for regular maintenance. It means your arbour will stay strong and looking good for far longer, even in damp conditions.
Comfort and Convenience and Thoughtful Design Features
We design our arbours with your comfort and convenience in mind. A garden arbour should not only look appealing but also be a joy to use. We consider how you will interact with the arbour, from sitting comfortably to keeping your garden tidy, ensuring every detail serves a purpose.
Our designs aim to make your time outdoors more enjoyable. We integrate practical elements that enhance the functionality of the arbour without compromising its visual appeal. This thoughtful approach means you get a structure that is both beautiful and genuinely useful for your garden. For larger projects, we often work with clients on commercial projects that require bespoke solutions.
Integrated Bench Seating
Many of our arbours come with integrated bench seating, providing a comfortable and ready-made spot for you to sit and enjoy your garden. This built-in seating is designed to be sturdy and spacious, offering a relaxed experience. It’s a seamless part of the arbour structure, ensuring stability and a cohesive look, making it the perfect place for a quiet moment or an intimate conversation.
Under-Seat Storage Box
Some of our arbours also feature a clever under-seat storage box. This hidden compartment is incredibly practical for keeping garden essentials tidy and out of sight. You can store cushions, small gardening tools, children’s outdoor toys, or even wellington boots away from the elements. It helps to keep your outdoor space neat and organised, adding another layer of convenience to your arbour.
Adding Greenery and Trellis Panels and Plant Support
Arbours are fantastic structures for encouraging plant growth and adding vertical interest to your garden. They provide the perfect framework for a wide range of climbing plants, allowing you to create stunning displays of foliage and flowers. This integration of plants helps your arbour blend naturally into its surroundings, making it feel like an organic part of your garden.
By using arbours as plant supports, you can introduce new textures and colours at different heights, creating a more dynamic and engaging garden landscape. Imagine fragrant roses or vibrant clematis winding their way up the sides, creating a living archway or a fragrant canopy over your seating area. It is a simple way to bring more life and beauty into your outdoor space.
Lattice Side Trellis Panels
Many of our arbours are equipped with lattice side trellis panels. These panels are specifically designed to provide excellent support for climbing plants. The open grid pattern allows vines, roses, honeysuckle, and other climbers to easily intertwine and grow upwards, creating a lush, green wall. This not only adds to the beauty of the arbour but also offers a natural shade and a sense of enclosure for your seating area, making it feel even more private and inviting.
Protection from the Elements and Roof and Fixings
An arbour should offer a degree of shelter, allowing you to enjoy your garden even when the weather is not completely perfect. The roof design is crucial for this, providing protection from light rain or strong sunshine. We also pay close attention to the hardware used, knowing that strong, durable fixings are essential for the overall integrity and longevity of the structure.
Our choice of components reflects our commitment to creating structures that are not only beautiful but also built to endure. Every part of the arbour, from the largest timber beam to the smallest screw, is selected for its ability to perform reliably in an outdoor environment. This attention to detail ensures that your investment will serve you well for many years to come.
Apex Wooden Roof
Our arbours often feature an apex wooden roof. This traditional roof style is not only aesthetically pleasing, adding a classic touch to the design, but also highly practical. The sloped design allows rainwater to run off easily, preventing pooling and protecting the seating area below from the elements. It provides effective shelter, ensuring you can enjoy your arbour comfortably, even during a light shower or under direct sun.
Weather-Resistant Zinc Fixings
To ensure the long-term stability and strength of our arbours, we use weather-resistant zinc fixings throughout the construction. Zinc-coated screws, bolts, and other hardware are highly resistant to rust and corrosion, which is vital for outdoor structures exposed to moisture and varying temperatures. These durable fixings maintain their integrity over time, keeping your arbour firmly assembled and safe, even after years of exposure to the elements.
Secure and Stable and Installation Considerations
Proper installation is key to the safety and stability of any garden structure, and arbours are no exception. Ensuring your arbour is firmly anchored prevents movement, especially in windy conditions, and provides a solid foundation for its long life. We think about these practicalities so you do not have to.
While our arbours are designed for straightforward assembly, having the right components for secure ground placement makes a significant difference. A stable arbour is a safe arbour, and it means you can fully relax and enjoy your garden retreat without any concerns about its security.
Ground Anchor Kits
For enhanced stability and peace of mind, we recommend using ground anchor kits with your arbour. These kits provide a secure method for fixing the arbour firmly to the ground, preventing it from shifting or being affected by strong winds. They are especially important for ensuring the long-term stability of your arbour, giving you confidence in its secure placement in your garden, whether on soft ground or a patio.
