What is the Purpose of an Arbor?

An arbor is a vertical structure used in landscaping or gardening that can provide shelter, privacy, and serves as a beautiful accent piece on your Houston area property. It often blends in with the landscape or separate different garden areas and directs traffic. It consists of an open framework to support colorful and fragrant vines.

The standard height for an arbor is about 8 to 10 feet, which allows plenty of room to walk under and maintain vines or plants overhead. Whether it will be freestanding or attached, an arbor will be supported by columns or posts, which support horizontal beams. In addition to vining plants, the arch or roof can be lattice or covered with a shade cloth.
