An arch or arbor is one of the quickest ways to give a garden structure and a sense of arrival.
Structure: a strong vertical feature that holds the garden together, even in winter.
Whatever you choose, match the strength to the plant.
Height: allow at least 7 feet of clearance inside, so tall people can walk through once plants grow and hang down.
At an entrance: the gate into a garden, front yard or vegetable plot.
