Garden Arch

This was a great buy for us, easy to assemble, sturdy, works well with shade and support and was lightweight enough for me and my wife to set up. We did add to the top so we could increase the shade over our mini pond and the combined effect works great! The price was very reasonable, the metal was coated and patterns look very nice. Overall, it was a great buy!

Well made, ez to put together. Looks great and sturdy.

This arbor trellis is a light weight item. For this particular item, it would be a nice choice for an event where you would have to move this item to a location like a wedding or party or celebration of any kind for it does come apart and is light weight, so it can transport from location to location very easily and quickly. But for the price, and I was looking for the cheapest deal, this was all good (another issue to consider when planning a wedding or other, for they can get pretty expensive). It was very easy to put together and what made it nice also is that all the fasteners were actually in the place they were supposed to go. I had some issues with the picture instructions; they were good for the most part but some of the pictures were not very clear and left me with hesitation and questions at first. Instead of following the instructions so much, put them down and just look at the item and pieces and use common sense and you will see it is a simple assembly. The item was packaged very good and arrived without damage as well. In addition it arrived at the earliest delivery date range, which was nice. Had a problem with the tool they provided for the bolt caps (or whatever you call them) that go over the ends of the bolts ... the tool was too small so I found a #10 wrench? that worked better. I had an issue with the measurements at first and contacted the company or seller and they were wonderful at "making it right" and without any hassles or hesitations.

Was pleasantly surprised with quality of this arch . Was not able to put it where I planned as it is not as tall as I thought it was going to be. So we moved it to another spot and is working well there. Used it for Halloween decoration and will also use it for Christmas decoration.

I'm giving 5 stars for its price and the ease of assembly. It didn't work out for my intended use, I think I heard the wisteria laughing at me as I put it together! That said, for light weight duties like a wedding arch, or light vining plants this thing is perfect. It's also fairly sturdy considering its light weight materials, just not sturdy for something like my beast of a wisteria plant.

This is not a super heavy-duty trellis but it's not wimpy either. Long-term, I'd think it best for annual vines (morning glories, flowering beans (scarlet runner, hyacinth), moonflower, black-eyed susan vine, etc.), a well-mannered rose, and even some veggies (cucumbers, yardlong beans, etc.) and other relatively lightweight perennial vines like clematis, I would not use it for something like wisteria or a big rambling rose--both would overwhelm this arch's relatively petite frame after a year or two, I would expect. I will add a couple stakes/zip ties for added support out of caution, but I don't expect it to tip over or be blown down by wind. If it ever seems unsteady, will add a cross beam across the back to stabilize side to side sway. Assembly was relatively straight-forward, about 30-35 minutes total? All parts included (plus an extra screw), all holes aligned. I assembled the long top panel first, then attached that panel to the top side panels (which I leaned on the bottom side panels, which were temporarily "installed" to prop up the top side panels). At this point I had to undo some screws to add the curvy supports but that didn't take too much time/effort. I then turned the completed top section upside down and attached the lower panels that have the in-ground stakes. And done! Getting the assembled trellis to the upright position was not difficult as it is not very heavy. It's exactly as it appears and as described so if that's what you need, go for it!

Very nice arbor. Much more heavy duty than typical tubular type arbors and is solid. Easy to assemble and looks great! It was reasonably priced and we are very happy with it!!

I am really pleased with this arbor, especially for the price! I did think I was going to casually put it together myself one afternoon, but that was laughable! It is very awkward and wobbly as you are assembling it, so I did need help to keep it steady in order to finish assembly. Which brings me to the instructions: they are suuuuper tiny and it's so hard to see what they are referencing. It all overlaps and there are little part-letters everywhere so it's a matter of deduction, really. The horrible instructions are the only reason I took a star off the rating. Other than that, once up, it looks really nice and seems very sturdy. It has already withstood several high wind days. My climbing plants are loving it and they look so pretty. Not to mention the birds! They adore having this new perch in the middle of the yard! Overall, I highly recommend!
