Wooden garden arbors (arbours) are open frameworks designed to offer shady resting places in a garden or park. Arbors are often made of rustic work or latticework which serves as a trellis on which climbers may grow or on which creepers may be trained.
For instance, there are the classic grape arbors, in which case the wooden structure serves a horticultural function: namely, providing support for a crop.
Other functions:
- But these vine-covered wooden structures can also serve as privacy screens.
- They can also provide shade on decks and patios.
- More often, they have primarily an aesthetic purpose by forming entrancing archways to garden entrances. They can also function as entry gates for properties surrounded by fencing.
Trellises are usually latticework structures that are mounted on walls or posts that support your climbers as they grow. Like arbors and pergolas they provide more room for your vines to grow. They can also be mounted between posts to provide a screen. This is a nice accent to provide privacy and shade.
