When we moved in to this house there was a rotten old garden arch which needed replacing
even the top had broken
had to cut out some of the fretwork to free the rose bushes
So time for a replacement. The problem was it had to support two roses bushes either side which limited to walkway width. After lot of searching and rejecting design or material (we wanted wood) we found and order one.
Came as a flat pack (not my photo)
Ok we now had it in the garage so to start work on it
First of all I decided that the legs were too long so cut off 6" and use them as stumps for the arch to rest on with a damp proof membrain between to stop damp rising .
stumps now in ground on the earth side
