Outvita 7.3FT Garden Arch Arbor, Heavy Duty Metal Arbour Archway, Decorative Frame Stand Trellis with Ground Stakes for Wedding Ceremony Party Plant Climbing Rose Vines Lawn Patio Black

I had one arbor arch like this in place over our entry stairs to our deck, to help shape and contain our pyracantha's vigorous growth attempts. It created a nice arch of beautiful green and orange plant and berries over the entry as desired... see pics for details. But pyracantha are known for two things. Well, three things. Quick, out-reaching growth; NOT growing where you want them to, and 1.5"/3-4cm thorns that will pierce any clothing, gloves, or - with casual ease - bare skin. So, when stray branches became a problem further along our entryway, I wanted another of these arbor arches to capture and shape the errant growth into an overhead arch, but the place I had purchased my original arch no longer carried it. Amazon to the rescue. I found what appeared to be the same arch, but at a much lower price than my last purchase at a local hardware store. As it turns out, this looks identical, but it's a newer product or different manufacturer, because this one is even easier to assemble than the last one. This one has a "pin and hole" snap-together then add screws for stability approach that makes assembly a breeze. The previous version required you to line up all the screw holes, and with unwieldy and lengthy sections, that was challenging but possible. It just took a while. This one I could probably put entirely together in 30 minutes, after doing it one time. All told, it probably took me 90 minutes of intermittent work, as other things intruded, and lunch was provided, along with a very welcome cold beer (recommended as part of the assembly process). I still need to place some cinder blocks under this one, as it spans my walkway and thus sits down a bit too low on the ground on each side of the raised walkway. So if this seems short, it is - but my fault, not the design's fault. It will be about 16 inches higher once I'm done with the base blocks on each side. For now, I have to duck slightly as I go under it, but as you can see, it is doing the desired job most admirably. If you're looking for one of these and dithering between various offerings, just stop and buy this one. It's sturdy enough to stand alone (once the bottom points are driven into the ground), or with some cinder blocks filled with dirt as a base, it can stand anywhere without support, and support other things in your garden, on your deck, over a walkway... just about anywhere. Note that there are much less sturdy, single-panel arbor arches available, and while they may work for some use cases, they are NOT stand-alone, not really. An strong wind could blow them over, or bend them. If you attached those to some garden stakes or fence posts, or to a wall, they would work fine. That's not what I wanted, I wanted sturdy, stand-alone and support other things type of sturdiness. So, be warned, these double-arch type arbors are MUCH better and stronger than those other single-arch-type designs. Make sure you buy the one that will fully suit your need. This one suits mine very well, and I'm sure it will work for you as well. Easy to assemble, sturdy, decorative and attractive, and seems like it will stand for years without needing any maintenance or fussing. My kind of outdoor fixture. I do highly recommend this, and the value cannot be beat. My previous - seemingly identical but actually inferior - arch was just about 2x this price. Highly recommended, you can't really go wrong with this one.

I purchased this as an entry way to a small yard of my home. It was super easy to put together by following the directions and having patience. I did it myself with everything provided in the package. I made one mistake and that was putting the front part upside down so the holes to attach the gate were at the top. I hadn't tightened the screws yet (in case of a mistake) so it was very easy to switch it to the right way. A handyman finished attaching it to my existing fence and he only needed to add a board or two to one side. He drilled a hole in the metal to do a secure attachment to the fence and made sure all the screws and nuts were tightened. It is strong, stable and sturdy. I might need to add some cross wires on the top arch to support the Passion Fruit vine I am planning to grow on it. It is really wonderful and will be even better when the vine grows for a grand entrance to a humble little yard. The gate offers a little psychological barrier. It seems perfect and I am so happy I got it.

Well made ,easy assembly ,looks beautiful!!! Just what I wanted.

This arch is really pretty. Gets the job done and is a great height. I purchased this to replace my broken arch. My star of jasmine was already very overgrown so this arch is able to withstand the heavy weight with the help of post. Some parts don’t fit in really well. However it was easy to assemble, no missing parts. I plan to add some clear outdoor silicon to the joints to provide extra support and slow down corrosion.

The Outvita 7FT Garden Arch Arbor is a standout product that immediately elevates the aesthetic and structural quality of any garden space. After several weeks of use, I can confidently say this is far superior to the flimsy, thin-walled arches often found at lower price points. If you are looking for an arch built to last and support serious climbing plants, this is an exceptional choice.

Easy to put together. Pretty design. Still going strong since purchase over a year ago. Held up durring last years Florida hurricane too

I purchased this for myself for my yard and I love it. It's not your standard Arch, it is unique and I love it. It's a great addition to my landscape. I bought this maybe 2 years ago and it is still in the yard and withstood rain, snow & wind. I did make sure that I pushed it into the ground as far as it would go. I would recommend

This arbor is sturdy, easy to assemble and well finished with a good, long life ahead. Also, fits a number of garden openings.
