How to Make a Garden Arch
Add an element of personality and uniqueness to your garden landscape design by making your own arch. This project only requires a few pieces of material, and can be done in a relatively short amount of time. Enhance the element of nature in your garden décor.
Things You Will Need:
- Tape measure
- Branches
- Shovel
- String or other decorative connector
- Mark the area where you wish for the arch to be placed. You must also know the amount of space you have to work with. For instance, if the space is 4-feet wide, you will need to ensure that your arch is able to fit within that space.
- Determine how tall you want the arch to be. Consider placing an arch that is 7-feet high so that even if you have tall visitors, they can still fit through it without hitting their heads.
- Dig a hole on both sides of the space where you plan to place the arch. This will be for the support pieces. Insert tall braches in the support holes and secure them into place with the soil.
- Connect the arch piece of the project by wrapping a bunch of branches together with a decorative string. You can also opt to use ribbon or anything you want to complement the theme you have in your garden. Just make sure that whatever you choose to use will secure the branches together appropriately.
- Attach the arch piece to the support branches and make sure the branches are tightly bound together. You have finished your arch and can continue to add any type of décor you wish to the area for finishing touches.
