Why choose a garden arbour?

• Arbours have become increasingly popular in recent years as space-saving alternatives to gazebos or pavilions.
• You can paint or stain your arbour to match other garden features, or just enjoy the natural colouring it is provided with. What to consider when choosing your garden arbour?
• Some arbours offer more privacy and shelter than others; if your garden is overlooked you may want to go for a model that is more protected by tightly framed latticework, or even go for solid timber walls and roof.
• The size of the gaps in the latticework can make a difference if you\'re intending to cover the arbour with climbers, so chose a style that suits the plant you intent to cover it with.
• Look for an arbour that will fit in with your style of house and other garden features. You might prefer a contemporary shape if you live in a modern property, or a more rustic-looking model to suit a cottage setting.
• Measure the space for your garden arbour carefully, perhaps leaving a small gap either side for pots of flowers or climbing plants, also don’t forget height as low hanging trees may get in the way.

Forest timber items which are designed to be in ground contact will be pressure impregnated with Osmose Naturewood preservative during production, this is an effective method used to preserve wood against fungal decay and insect attack.

Osmose is a trusted name in wood preservation and supplies preservative products to a worldwide market. A decorative dye is also added during the preservative process to ensure every piece of timber is coloured and preserved at once, this colour will fade over time to a honey brown colour. Stains and water repellents may be applied immediately if required, providing you follow the manufacturer\'s instructions.
