Garden Arch Trellis Metal Garden Arbor for Various Climbing Plant, Wedding Arches for Ceremony Decoration Outdoor Lawn Backyard, 7'8" H x 4'5" W, Dark Green

I've been trying to make my yard pretty and attract birds. I have several planter boxes that we grew vining vegetables in last year. The watermelon grew out of the box and all over the yard so I need some kind of trellis. Unfortunately due to family emergency and a new dog that likes to dig, nothing got planted. But when I saw this arch available as a free promotional I ordered it. I finally got it put together; it was fairly easy. I'm not crazy about the self tapping plastic screw thingies in the cross bars but I made it work. Right now it's in the planter box until I can get something planted next year. It's pretty light weight and might need some securing to the fence to keep it in shape and help support the weight of the plants. I will update once I have it planted. Or I may put some Christmas lights on it.

Some assembly required--but it lets you change the configuration a bit to get a taller, less wide arbor (but more of an arch) or a wider, shorter arbor that's not quite an arch.It's a little thin and doesn't have anything on the footing to help anchor it into the soil. I was able to push it down quite low to get some stability, but that comes at the cost of losing some height. The metal isn't very thick, but good enough for most vines.

Assembling this was not too hard, but definitely needed two people to keep the frustration down. Its sheer size makes it wobbly and it would be easy to bend a piece accidentally. Once assembled, we sank it into the ground and it fit our spot perfectly. But, the wind kept knocking it over, even with the legs sunk several inches into the ground. We finally tied it off and piled bricks around the legs temporarily until our vines can get a good hold on it.

This is a great trellis and is currently in my tomato garden bed, waiting to be used. It was easy to put together (pay attention to the middle vs. bottom pieces, they are different. Avoid having to take it apart and redo it like me!) I had no problem with screws and holes lining up properly and even had an extra pair of screw/bolt. I like the dark green color and I think it blends nicer than another brand's black one.Be aware that this trellis probably would not hold a bushy, heavy vining plant like a wisteria (I could be wrong). I'll be training two indeterminate tomatoes up each side. To ensure it's secure, I'll actually bury it into the 1' deep bed to be safe. I liked the trellis so much, I got a second one and paid for it! (the first one was free through the Vine program). I will update this summer with photos and report on its durability with 6-8' vining tomatoes growing on them.First update: I added solar fairy lights and will put up a second strand tomorrow. I'm very happy with this arch so far!

This garden trellis is incredibly lightweight, making it easy to move around the garden. The assembly process is straightforward as long as you pay attention to the instructions. However, I encountered difficulties getting it to stay straight—no matter how much I adjusted it, it kept twisting. One of the significant downsides is that the trellis started rusting quickly after being exposed to the elements. While this is disappointing, it's worth mentioning that the trellis does look aesthetically pleasing, especially when adorned with solar string lights. This creates a charming ambiance in the garden at night. I would recommend this metal garden trellis primarily for decorative purposes. It adds a nice visual touch but isn't suitable for supporting heavy vines or serving any substantial garden function due to its instability and susceptibility to rust.

This is a nice arch. It's easy to assemble and is quite tall! I'm hoping to use it for grapes or possibly cucumbers. I will however stake it down because it will catch the wind once plants are growing on it.Important note: when assembling, do not overtighten the screws. I used a battery drill and had the lower the torque way down because I was crushing the pieces.

Poles are a bit thin, and not sure how well it would do with a plain ground anchor, but it works well for our plan.We connected it in the wider version over a walkway and into two planter boxes. I added some hardware and really secured it to the boxes. With that solid base connection it's solid throughout.Looks good, and will look better once the vines start crawling up it.

This is a good light use arch. If you push it down into the ground it gains some stability, but I wouldn't put anything heavy on it. It works for a climbing plant we have and looks really nice. So overall it does a good job depending on use. Very tall which is a nice feature.
