Arch plant support

andrewnewton · August 2021

I'm looking for metal single arch plant supports that can be placed side by side to form a run. Height approx 5-6 ft above ground when inserted.

Can anyone offer a suggested search term or better still a link for what I'm looking for. Whenever I search for garden arch I keep getting the double thickness ones or tunnels

TIA

Harrod have a pretty good selection and there is a 10% GW discount code.

Agriframe is also good.

Thanks for those. The Agriframe Monet is closest to what I had in mind. It's given me a good start. I may and try a local blacksmith using that as a starting point

I have an Agriframe Monet. It's seriously tough and might outlast the house.

When you say 'single metal arch', I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you looking for two feet not four?

Thanks for the recommendation. Yes that's correct two feet not four. Most of the arches are designed to walk through. I'm looking for some you can use like a see through fence and make a run approx 20 feet long but still offer support to climbing plants

Like an arching trellis without the trellis? Hmmm

If you search Mrs Google for 'metal arching trellis uk' (no quotes) and click 'images' you should get a good range of ideas.

There's quite a bit on Ebay

The tricky thing with just two feet is how less strong and stable the structure is. If you have some kind of trellising inside, it makes it sturdier.

This one is cheap and comes in sections, so possibly you could construct as you wish and try and make it all stronger by wiring it to a fence and burying the poles.

Thanks for taking the time to help. Much appreciated this seems pretty close to the type of thing
