A nice garden arch trellis not only creates a centerpiece for any patio or garden area but also works as a practical tool for those with a green thumb who want to train their plants and flowers to grow upwards. A garden arch also makes an attractive option to put up when you’re hosting a party like a wedding or an anniversary, as you can cascade your favorite foliage or flowering vines around the decorative unit.

There are few things that add elegance to your garden better than a metal garden arch trellis. They come in so many different styles that you are sure to be able to find one to suit your garden space. Although they appear delicate, they are capable of holding the weight of a heavy vine or spray of roses. They work just as well for a floral arch or a support upon which to train garden vegetables or gourds.

How can I use a metal pergola?

An ordinary metal pergola makes an excellent support for climbing floral vines or even as a support for garden vegetables. The arched shape creates a lovely entryway into your patio or formal garden area, as well as getting delicate trailing vines up off the ground. If you are hosting a backyard wedding or an event that involves promoting members of an organization from one level to another, you can even decorate the pergola with cut flowers or artificial ones.

What can I grow in a Gothic-style arch?

An extra tall gothic arch is the perfect support for delicate flowers such as cardinal climbers or moonflowers. Their delicate foliage and showy blossoms are a perfect foil for the graceful shape of the arch. Use the arch as an entryway or add a matching scrollwork bench to turn it into an arbor. An alternate plan for this arch might be climbing roses, which are almost always pleasing.

What's the best garden trellis for growing heavy vines?

Perfect for creating a green bower for a garden retreat, the birdcage trellis can support fairly heavy, woody vines. With that said, always check your conservation lists to make sure that any vines you plant are not going to turn into invasive species in your area. For example, English ivy has become invasive in the Washington state. Plants are opportunists and are quick to take advantage of areas where they have few predators. Left unchecked, some can crowd out native species.

Can I place an arched trellis next to the wall?

Not all arched trellises need to allow people to walk under or through them. Metalwork arches that can be placed near a wall create the perfect place for climbing plants to twine. They can create seasonal shade without endangering the siding of your home. Ivy covered halls might sound romantic, but in reality, those little clinging tendrils set to work on destroying the surface on which they are climbing. A trellis helps prevent this damaging process.

Another idea is a window arch combined with a window box. It can create a beautiful shade for your windows in summer. Imagine a window box with morning glories climbing up the sides of the arch and perhaps colorful petunias growing in the bed below.
