What Are Arbors Used For

An arbor is a vertical structure in a landscape or garden that can provide shelter, privacy, shade, and serve as an accent. It can blend in with the landscape or separate different garden areas and direct traffic. Its walls and roof consist of an open framework to support colorful and fragrant vines.

What is the purpose of arbor?

An arbor is a structure that provides decoration, shade, shelter, and privacy for gates, paths, or benches in your yard or garden. An arbor also makes your home more attractive and increases its value. You can use an arbor to provide support for vining flowers, fruits, and vegetables to climb.

Where should I place arbor?

A garden arbor makes a charming addition to any patio. Place an arbor across the pathway leading to your patio to stylishly define the entrance. For added privacy, train vines along the sides and top to help block the view.
