Metal garden arch materials and finishes
A metal garden arch on this page is usually an iron frame, and most designs here are metal. Black is the most common finish, with some in cream or white.
Keep the finish looking good by wiping it down a few times a year and touching up any scratches.
Wooden garden arch options
A wooden garden arch gives a softer, more natural look than metal. Some designs here are solid wood in brown or natural tones, and a few have a trellis panel or a built-in bench.
Wood suits cottage gardens and looks best when it is cleaned regularly and kept out of standing water.
Garden arch with gate, bench or plant stands
A garden arch with a gate works as a real entry point for a path, a vegetable patch or a side yard. A few select arbors add a bench for a place to sit, or plant stands for pots.
Check each listing to see which extras are included before you choose. Arches with a gate or bench can be deeper, so allow extra room around them.
Garden arch trellis for climbing plants
A garden arch trellis gives vines such as clematis, climbing roses or beans something to climb. Look for an open frame with plenty of crossbars or a trellis panel, and match the plant to the height of the arch.
Some designs here include a trellis panel. A taller arch gives climbers more room before they reach the top.
Garden arbor is another name for the same structure, and many shoppers use the two terms interchangeably.
Garden arch sizes and positioning
A garden arch here runs 55 to 80.7 inches wide, 14.5 to 26 inches deep and 78 to 98.4 inches tall. Pick a width that is comfortable to walk through, and a height that leaves room for plants to grow over the top.
Place the arch on level ground and check the listed dimensions against your path or entry.
