Garden arch. How to make an arc

Garden arch, seized by branched roses, clematis or grape vines - one of the best decorations of the country area or cottage. The arch can serve not only by the backup for curly plants, but also as decorating the wicket at the inlet or for zoning the landscape. Several light arches of the same design along the garden alley form a picturesque labyrinth. Garden arches do it with their own hands from metal or wood, depending on the purpose.

Options of garden arches

The garden of the garden can be made of metal, if it is not visible under plants, completely twisting the arch and support. The arched gallery along the garden tracks, for example, from the country house to the barbecue, is most often done from lightweight metal structures. The photo of the garden arches shows the most successful options for metal structures.

Wooden garden arches of white color looks most effectively, especially solid construction, supplemented by white garden furniture or in an ensemble with another garden decor. Natural wood looks good too if the arch is harmonized with wooden lattices, a fence or a gazebo when their design is made in one way.

The arch for the garden can be part of a brick or masonry, dividing the countryside on the rosary, garden, Malinnik, a berry dresser, and the like. The shape of garden arches is different. The arch arch can be made in the form of an oval, triangle, square, semicircles or peaks.

Main types Arches:

1. The arch at the entrance to the garden over the gate is, in fact, the face of the country area, so the appearance and foundation of the construction of such a structure is given the most attention. Such an arch should be high enough, more than 2 m in the highest point of its dome, so that you can freely enter people high growth, enter furniture and volumetric items. It is also important to take into account the total weight of the spooky of her bushes of roses, grapes and other plants that will hang over the passage to the gate. The garden arch at the entrance should also be harmonized and with a fence or fence adjacent to it.
   
2. The decorative arch in the form of a landscape design element in the garden can be arbitrary shape or magnitude. For example, in the end of the garden alley behind the arch can be located picturesque flower bed or mountaineering with benches or a small pond, and further, after the same arch, the path goes deep into the garden.
3. Gallery made of light garden arches along the track can perform different functions. For example, a trellis can be stretched between them so that a peculiar indoor passage of curly plants was formed. These may be the simplest vegetable crops: cucumbers or beans of special decorative varieties. Another option is a collectible "showcase" along the garden path from 3-6 identical arched structures, on both sides of which rare varieties of curly roses are planted with petals of different shade.
4. No less interesting are the arches under grapes that support the vine, especially when they form an indoor passage in the yard. Such structures are the simplest, consist of light arched rods that are inserted into the rows of covered pipes.
5. The arch can act as an independent element of garden design, if, for example, has an original form or made of non-traditional materials. This design resembles a sculpture or installation.
6. The garden of the garden with the crossbar becomes a full bench with shading out of the colors of the colors. The three arches set by the letter "P" form the simplest design of the country gazebo.
   
7. Metal garden arch with a crossbar having a reliable fastening can be used as a basis for children's swings or hammock, other options are also possible. Such supports are important to inleume and concrete.
8. The arch can serve as a support for other elements, for example, under the lantern at the entrance to the platform for a barbecue or manga. Electricity is supplied to such a design.
9. Curly exotic lianas with large flowers, requiring high humidity, can be placed on the arch over the fountain to ensure the microclimate needed for their flowering.

Tip: Remember that the size of your arch must correspond to the growth of the highest family member with a margin on sagging flowering and fruiting plants. Garden arch must decorate your garden at any time of the year, when the plants sprinkling it will be wondering, so it is important to think about the design and color of the design. The garden arch should be all-season, that is, resistant to any weather conditions. Sometimes it makes sensebuygardenarki.For example, white plastic, the same shape and size. Sometimes a good stone masonry arches do their own hands does not always succeed, and this type of work is better to entrust the professional. Do with your own hands the easiest way to make a wooden or metal garden arch.

Metal garden arch do it yourself

The easiest way is to make metal garden collapsible arches when curved arcs are simply inserted with the base in the form of pipe structures. Make drawings of the simplest arch, which will be similar to two light metal ladies, standing in parallel along both sides of the garden alley, and a semicircular arch, which is inserted into tubular bases. If the form of the arch is not a semicircular, but oval, then the height of the racks is needed a little more - for the free passage and prison of garden inventory. By the way, the arch arch can be made of the curved transparent plastic or plexiglass.

In the drawing or sketch of the future design, mark the distance between the two supports of the arch (the width of the garden alleys) and mark the distance between the tubular supports of each "ladder". This is the so-called "depth" of the Arch, which should be 20-50 cm. The height of tubular racks should be approximately 150-170 cm, plus an additional part for knocking and concreting.

1. To make such an arc, you will need 4 cut pipes with a length of about 2 m and steel bars.
2. From the steel rod, you will need to make two sections under the semicircle arches. The length can be calculated by the formula for the ratio of the semicircle of the arch arch and diameter of the circle, it is equal to the distance between the stands of the future design. To this length, add 5-10 cm on each side of the rod, and the arch arch will be inserted into the holes of the pipes.
3. Cut the metal scissors or on the rod segment machine, equal to the distance in length between the racks and arcs that need to be welded to them.
   
4. Next will need welding, but for a start, decide that it is more convenient: to make the welding rack, and then sculpt these bases of the arches and concrete, or vice versa. That is, you can first fix the tubular supports in the ground, check the plumbing of their vertical position and on top of tie steel wire. Next welding welded a metallic rod at an equal distance from each other - after 15-25 cm. Some masters are more convenient to boil ready-made welded "Lanes".
5. By the way, the gaps between the pipes do not necessarily make a ladder, it looks beautiful and filling in the form of a diamond lattice. We remind you that this filling between the tubular base should be located on the outdoor side of the arch so that you do not cling to clothing, passing under construction.
6. If the basis of the design of the garden arch is ready, then proceed to the manufacture of the most responsible part - the arch of which the appearance appearance largely depends on. To do this, give a pipe bend or another tool to the rods of the semicircular (or other required) form. Finished semi-windows secure each other so that the distance between them is equal to the width between the tubular bases on both sides.
7. Next, welding at equal gaps breed several branches. You must have something like an expedited ladder. As already mentioned, the filling between the rods can be in the form of a lattice.
8. The finished arch arch can be inserted into the tubular bases and weld. But the easiest way to consolidate them otherwise - score wedge-shaped wooden choppers. If there is a need to disassemble the arch for the winter, it is not necessary to weld, and the choppers will help extract the top of the structure.

Similarly, a whole gallery of the Arch in the yard or in the garden can be made: under grapes, for example, or under curly plants along the garden alley. Remember that the raw metal is subject to corrosion, so the finished design must be covered with primer for metal and paint. And the concreted base of racks can be decorated with stones or flood with clay.

Wooden garden arch do it yourself

The garden arch of the tree can be made like the metal structure described above, with filling in the form of a light lattice or in the form of a ladder, but instead of tubes are used wooden bars. For those who have woodwork skills, the manufacture of such products will not be difficult. However, the upper part of the round shape can cause some difficulties in operation - the accuracy of the performance and parallelism of rounded parts is important.

The simplest way is to make the arch of the P-shaped form, and the internal semicircular elements can be given a vapor view that are nailed between the racks and the upper crossbars.

In order to make a job qualitatively and beautiful, you will need to see a few photos of the garden arches to determine the size and shape. In the option, you liked some adjustments, noting the exact dimensions of the future design on your sketch or drawing. When all the calculations are ready, you can start the selection of suitable wood, some of which may already have, and inexpensive treated trimming for the crossbar and bonding elements can be cheap to buy in any joinery.

Tip: The classic arch must have an ideal semicircular arch, then it looks impressive, especially if it is made in white color. For a wooden garden arch, you can use 3 types of wood. The base is from moisture-resistant timber, an arch - from light durable wood, sides of the sides - from a sliced \u200b\u200bstaple or from ready-made lattice panels purchased or made in advance. Filling between the arches racks can be made of other materials or contain decorative elements, for example, manual thread, bamboo or branches of an unusual shape.

1. For the strength of the wooden arch design, wood must be treated with an antiseptic, then coat with impregnation and mourn, after which it is covered with moisture-resistant varnish or paint. To connect the parts, the easiest to use a screwdriver and self-tapping screws.
2. The manufacture of the arch is starting with the base of the bases - prepared wooden bars of the required size, which ideally should be higher than your growth at least 1 m. This will be enough for bumping, and to fix the arch.
3. The bases when swallowing are additionally sprinkled with rubble and tamper, but it is best to concrete. The walls of the supports are fastened from above, over with a plumbing vertical structure.
4. The most difficult part is parallel arch arches. The available method is to cut the base from moisture-resistant plywood, after which it is inside to strengthen the pieces of timber, which are cut from the trapezoid slices. Finished wooden arcs are the easiest way to order in a joinery workshop. If you have to use joinery glue, remember that it is well lighted only on dry wood.
   
5. After fixing the arch arch, you can proceed to the design of its side gratings. If the arch is located not on the sides of the track, but at its end or in the depths of the garden, it is advisable to put a shopping shop there.

Tip: When your arch is fully ready, decide which plants should be poured in the future. Much depends on the functionality of the arch. If it serves as a support for disembarking a largest plant with abundant blossom, the design should be solid, so that it can withstand the overall weight as it is expanding the culture. Allergies are not recommended to plant strongly smelling flowers near the arch with a bench. Flowers-insane, which attract stagnant insects, are undesirable at the arch in the dining area - at barbecue or mangala with a table.
