Whilst
browsing Pinterest looking for ways to beautify our sad little garden
plot I happened upon a very simply archway. I instantly thought to
myself, "Yep. I can totally make one of these!" So the next morning I
did.
You will need:
- 4 T-Posts
- 1 16ft hog panel (or shorter, just whatever you have handy)
- Wire cutters
- Bailing wire
- T-Post driver
- Measuring tape
- Assistants
Spot
out where you want your archway to be, then measure your hog panel and
space it accordingly. Pound your T-posts into the ground, two on each
side. Be sure to space your posts a little shorter than your panel is
wide, so your posts won't be sticking out farther than your panel. Next,
have your assistants fold the panel over, while you wire it to the
posts. Once you've secured your panel, your done!
We
added two small raised beds (re-purposed shipping crates) on either
side that we can later plant with a crawling vine that will cover our
archway, making a shady, green oasis! Bring it on baby!

So cool! I can't wait to see it all covered in greens! :) What do you plan to plant around it?
ReplyDeleteWell, it's going to be in full sun, so probably a vine that is heat tolerant. However, before I took that into consideration, I had planned on planting Morning Glories and some of my Kamo-Kamo Squash (native to New Zealand..*ahem* I bet you can't guess why I got it ;).

that's going to look so amazing with greens running up!
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope so! I'm excited for warmer weather to get here so I can plant some vines around it.
