Metal Garden Arbors And Trellises

Extremely large metal arbors for a tunnel like effect

JJPSQ

Maybe you don’t want just a special passageway. You want an entire tunnel to walk underneath while gazing at all the colorful flowers and plants around and above you.

Then the trick is to pick three or more metal arbors in the same style and place them in front of each other. 

Large metal arbor

Outsunny

If your motto is ‘go big or go home’, you can’t go wrong with a pergola-style metal arbor that’s around 7 feet tall. This will ensure the most dramatic feel and allow you to unleash your creativity when it comes to choosing which plants and flowers to add.

At the same time, be realistic: if your garden is on the small side, such a tall metal arbor could end up looking a bit overwhelming.

Metal garden arbor with gate

Plow & Hearth

To add to the fairytale-esque experience of accessing a magical area, you could choose a metal garden arbor that includes an actual gate.

That way, walking through it will feel even more special, and we particularly recommend this option if you have a couple of garden areas that could easily be used as separate sections.

Simple metal garden arbors and trellises for your garden

While metal arbors are bigger than trellises, they don’t necessarily need to take over your entire garden. If you were only planning on using them for a limited number of plants, choose a simple model, either with some decorative motifs or a more minimalist design.

Once it’ll be covered with climbing plants and flowers, it’ll still become the most instagrammable spot.

Long metal garden trellis

Fancy covering your entire wall? Then look for longer metal garden trellises consisting of 4 panels or more.

Choosing them in the same style will allow you to ensure a balanced symmetrical effect, while decorating them with different plants will avoid a repetitive feel. It’s a win-win!

Whether you decide to use it for the most colorful wisteria or a different plant, it’s not a bad idea to think beyond traditional trellis relying on the namesake shape.

As well as geometric shapes and harmonious lines, you can find metal garden trellises with more recognizable designs, too.

For example, some wrought iron trellis ideas that we think you’ll love include floral patterns or even animals like little birds, making it look as if they were perched on it. How adorable is that?!

Accent metal arbor

August Grove®

Not all metal garden arbors and trellises are black! If you were hoping for a different and more original feel, you can scout for gray or white designs, too.

This is particularly worth it if you already have some garden furniture or decorative elements in the same finish. 

Metal garden arbor as a gate

While metal arbors can act as magical passages even when placed in the middle of your garden, another trick is to add them to an existing fence or hedge to keep two areas visually separated while connecting them with a gate.

Once your metal arbor will be covered in leaves and greenery, it’ll look even more cohesive!

Be honest: even the largest metal arbor won’t be good enough for you. You have a different vision. You want to take the magical and sheltered elements to the next level, don’t you?

Elegant and ornate large metal arbor

Plow & Hearth

If you’re set on the idea of choosing a metal arbor with gate, you can find even more decorative models.

To prolong the archway effect, it helps to stick to large metal arbors with wider sides. At the same time, to keep it consistent, why not choose a model where the side decorations match those of the gate doors?

Metal arbor trellis in descending or ascending order

A metal arbor trellis on its own is enough to give your bare wall the revamp it needs.

However, if you have room for them, you could consider creating an interesting composition by placing two panels in slightly different heights next to each other.

Minimalist garden arbor

Like the sound of a new garden arbor but, being a minimalist at heart, you’re a bit put off by all these highly decorated designs?

Then you’ll be glad to know that you can also find much simpler arbors relying on more streamlined shapes. 

Large metal arbor with room for potted plants

When you place a trellis against your wall, it’s easy to add potted plants right next to it. However, if you were hoping for a metal arbor in the middle of your garden, things can get tricky, especially if you have pets running around.

To protect your plants and maintain a cohesive effect, look for a metal arbor with some crate-style room for your potted friends.
