Strong garden arches for people serious about their gardens!
“Always make sure the garden arch you buy is suitable for the plant.”
Think of a garden arch as the support or skeleton for your plant. For a low maintenance garden don’t make the mistake of planting a large, rambling wisteria on a narrow and shallow arch. Because, you’ll forever be pruning it or lose the arch completely under it!
Standard Garden Arch Designs
Farmweld has three standard garden arch designs. So the prices listed below are for the standard designs for arches up to a width of 2m. We build all garden arches to be strong. Therefore, wider garden arbours are custom made. Because we want you to be happy with your arbour, and ensure it is right for your home, we make everything to order.
You have the option of:
- three different profiles as shown below, and
- two side infills
- 100x150mm mesh sides – best for plants with tendrils, e.g. jasmine, clematis, etc; or
- trellis sides – so best for plants with strong canes like rose, bougainvillea, etc.
- unpainted galv frame or powder coated
The standard height is 2.4m above ground, thus we allow an additional length in the legs for concreting into the ground for stability. So, this gives you some flexibility with the height.
Three Garden Arches with Optional side infill, either mesh or trellis
Are Farmweld garden arches different to other arches on the market?
Yes, they are! Farmweld custom makes garden products so that they will last. We differ because our garden arches have:
- Galvanised pipe frame. This is standard on all Farmweld rose arches. We do not use thin walled tubular steel. Galv pipe has a strong wall thickness of at least 2.2mm.
- Your garden arch will not rust away in a few short years. It should still be standing in 20 years.
- We give you an extra steel allowance for the legs, so you can firmly concrete your garden arch into the ground for stability.
- Trellis bars are solid 6.3mm steel rod, so they last. We don’t use hollow tubing or thin wire.
- We make mesh arches with 5mm galvanised mesh, so it’s strong. It’s the same mesh that we use in farm gates to keep 500kg animals in.
Depending on the design, Custom wrought iron arches are made from a mix of pipe, SHS (square pipe) and/or solid steel, or all solid steel if it’s a wrought iron arch.

How to measure up for a Garden Arch
What you need to tell us when getting a quote for a garden arch.
We make Garden Arches to a standard height of 2.4m above ground. We include an additional length of 300-400mm in the legs for concreting into the ground. When ordering, give us the following information:
- How wide you want it (from side to side)
- How deep you want it (from back to front)
- The type of side infill/pattern – trellis sides for plants with canes, e.g. roses, mesh sides for plants with tendrils, e.g. jasmine. If you want the arch to be a feature, then ask us about a wrought iron pattern.
- If you want an asymmetrical arch, ie wide on one side and narrow on the other, we’ll need to know the depth of each side panel – call us so we can discuss this in more detail with you.
Garden Arch Colour/Finish
Standard arches come unpainted (silver/galv finish) or powder coated to your choice of (Colourbond) colour. Powder coating adds significantly to the price. So, if the plant covers the arch, powder coating will be an unwarranted cost. Consider whether it’s worth the additional cost.
If you like the rusty look we recommend powder coating it in Corten (see the Finishes page). We can source raw steel which will rust at additional cost. Be mindful that raw steel needs to be maintained with Penetrol on an annual basis, to slow down the rusting process. This is not an easy feat when the garden arch is covered with foliage.
Consider these 5 things before buying a garden arch, arbour or trellis
- What plant are you going to grow over your arch?
- How wide does it grow?
- How tall can it get?
- What kind of support does your plant need? ie, Does it have tendrils, e.g. jasmine or clematis. If so, mesh is the best option. If your plant has canes, e.g. climbing roses, then an open trellis frame to weave the canes through, is the most suitable option.
- What style is your home or garden? Pick a frame profile that suits your home. So, a round top arch for contemporary homes, the Victorian style for an older period home.
