Metal Garden Arbors And Trellises
Add some metal garden arbors and trellises to your backyard, and it will instantly look like a garden out of a fairytale or the most luxurious home brochures.
Welcoming nature into your decorative choices, you can make these structures unique by finding the right combination of flowers and plants for your personal taste.
Torn between the two?
A metal trellis is the wisest choice if you haven’t got plenty of available space or are planning on creating separate areas in your garden. While some of them are designed to lean against a vertical surface and others can stand on their own, it usually makes sense to place a trellis right by a wall. That’s why they’re also the perfect choice to liven up your house.
Shaped like an archway, a larger garden arbor will result in the most whimsical feel whenever you walk through it.

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.
Metal garden arbor with gate
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.

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.
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!
Large metal arbor
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 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!

Elegant and ornate large metal arbor
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?
Accent metal arbor
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.

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

Our advice Buying Guide
How many times have you walked into a professional flower garden and marveled at the bouquet of colors and shades that seem perfectly layered to channel your gaze? Maybe your garden looks pale in comparison. Or too flat maybe?
Creating a beautiful, awe-inspiring backyard is not as difficult as it seems. Time-tested, simple architectural structures like arbors and trellises make for excellent garden accents and do so much more than lend a supporting structure for climbing plants.
The conundrum though, is should you add an arbor or a trellis? Maybe, a pergola will be better suited for your garden. Here’s a brief overview of each one and a small buying guide to help you with your purchase.
What's the difference between a trellis, an arbor, and a pergola?
- Trellis: A trellis is a panel of latticework that can be used for delineating an area, adding privacy to a part of the garden or just for displaying your favorite climbers. They are easy to install and when placed correctly, can completely transform the look.
- Arbor: An arbor is a network of latticework that creates an archway (often curved) which gets shaded when the climbers mature. It can be used to create a doorway to the garden or a separate shaded seating area with a bench thrown in for good measure.
- Pergola: Pergolas are often called outdoor rooms. They consist of four posts that have an open rafter and a retractable canopy. Fixtures such as lights and heaters can be added to further the décor and utility. Pergolas are usually installed in spacious gardens with plenty of room to spare.
While arbors and trellises are available in a variety of materials, metal provides the most durability and strength for the plants. There’s no dearth of designs and you can pick from a black or white finish. Black blends seamlessly into the background whereas white adds a focal point that pops out.
What's the best type of metal for garden arbors and trellises?
Undoubtedly, the most important aspect is the quality of the metal itself. You need something that can withstand sun, snow and rain. Stainless steel should be your first choice followed by galvanized iron. These offer excellent weather resistance when sealed and don’t cost an arm and a leg. Copper looks stunning when it develops a patina, but can be ridiculously expensive. Apart from the metal used in the main structure itself, look at the ground fittings too. Arbors and trellises are usually staked into the ground and the fittings are as important as the structure.
What are the different designs of garden trellises?
When it comes to trellises, you can choose between a flat trellis, typically used to anchor to walls or fences, an obelisk trellis, which is a pyramid shaped, three dimensional structure or a fan trellis which is freestanding and can be mounted anywhere. Your choice should take into account the size of your garden, your budget and the look that you aim to create with it.
