Homemade Wood Arbor

February is a good month to start planning what to want to get done in this year’s garden once spring arrives. I once again have garden arbors on my list.

For inspiration, here is a homemade wood garden arbor made with a basic trellis along with other garden branches.

As our temperatures continue to get warmer, garden arbors will be an important addition to give growing vegetables and plants a break from the heat.

This arbor is at the doorway into a vegetable patch, a nice opportunity to grow flowers that will attract pollinators to the flowering plants.

To secure the branches to the side, use long nails or an air gun with long staples.

Once plants are growing up the sides, you won’t see the design. The additional tree branches are to give the growing plants a good hand hold.
