You always want to make the territory of your personal plot not only practical, but also beautiful. It’s doubly pleasant to spend time outdoors and admire the beauty made with your own hands.

An arch will add a special atmosphere and comfort to any area. However this design is not only a decorative element, but can also serve as a means of zoning.

An arch can highlight a recreation area, creating secluded corners, or separate the garden from the vegetable garden. Moreover, she is one of the most convenient ways for growing climbing plants.

Arch designs

Arches for flowers in a country house can be used individually, for example, to highlight the entrance to a site, or a tunnel can be built from several separate structures. By placing two or three arches together you can create a gazebo with living walls.

Various materials are used to make arched structures. On sale you can most often find arches that are made from hollow plastic tubes. For them reliable installation Inside the tube adjacent to the ground, it is necessary to insert reinforcement approximately one and a half meters long.

With this fastening, your arch will not be damaged by either strong winds or situations where you might inadvertently touch it.

Forged metal arches look very beautiful in the garden. They are often real works of art and look impressive even when not covered with plants. On such arches you can hang flower pots on special holders.

Salads and other dishes look beautiful in pots placed on them. edible herbs, which can later be sown.

Looking at the photo of wooden arches for flowers that have a trellis shape (includes a pair of trellises at once), you can see how convenient they are for zoning internal space summer cottage. With their help you can also easily hide from the eyes of your neighbors.

Arches of these shapes are also often used to create cozy relaxation areas.

Trellis and vaulted arches are often used to support flowers at weddings. Ceremonies using just such structures as decorations are becoming increasingly popular. They look especially impressive against the background of a beautiful back wall.

Making your own wooden arch

A wooden arch is not only simple to construct, but is also more environmentally friendly than similar structures made from other materials.

In addition, if you plant perennials near the arch, then in winter such plants feel more comfortable on the tree, since it is warmer than, for example, metal.

Before you make an arch of flowers, you need to decide on its shape. The simplest design is the rectangular design. Then you need to purchase all the necessary materials.

These include wooden poles or bars about two meters high. The depth to which the supports will be buried is determined for each type of soil.

One thing remains unchanged - that part of the timber that will be in the ground must be treated with bitumen and wrapped with waterproofing. In order to secure the arch, its base is covered with crushed stone or concreted.

For crossbars you can take wooden slats small width. They are nailed at an angle of 45 degrees, forming a mesh, which will subsequently serve as a support for the flowers.

Another option would be to stretch twine between the supports to create a unified structure and, in the future, symmetrically place the flowers on the arch.

Even a girl can create a simple vaulted arch from hazel branches without outside help. To do this, it is enough to take its long flexible but strong shoots, bend them in the shape of an arch and dig them into the ground.

Cross members can also be branches cut to the same length, tied to the frame with twine or wire.

Correct selection of plants for arches

Decorating an arch with flowers is not an easy task. Perennials grow quite slowly.

This is even good if your arch has an attractive appearance. But surely everyone wants to see a structure completely wrapped in greenery in the first year.

To correct the situation and correctly place flowers for the arch in the garden, you can plant the following next to perennials: annual plants, like decorative beans or sweet peas.

In the first couple of years, this combination will help you quickly and fully green the arch.

In combination with young perennial flowers they will look good on an arch indoor plants, which feel good outside in the summer.

The main thing is that the pots with such plants have drainage holes. Otherwise, you will have to make sure in advance that there is a good layer of expanded clay at the bottom of the pots.

If you decide to improve your plot, then you can use many different options - from laying out flower beds and planting ornamental shrubs to more entertaining solutions. A garden arch looks very interesting in a dacha – anyone can make such a structure with their own hands, the main thing is to choose the material that is most convenient for you to work with. In this review we will look at the most popular and in demand options among summer residents.

Main design options

First, let's look at some types of arches from which you can choose best option, which will organically fit into your site and become one of the original touches of the entire setting:

Prefabricated Metal Garden Arches	The popularity of such products is due to their very high strength and durability; a circle, square, hexagon, reinforcement, strip or forged elements. Disadvantages include labor-intensive manufacturing and the need to protect elements from corrosion.
Garden arches and pergolas made of wood	The biggest advantage is the low price and availability of the material, and it is also easy to work with, which is very important in cases where the assembly is done by hand. The main disadvantage can be considered poor resistance to moisture, so periodic painting or treatment with protective compounds is required
Wicker structures	Very original and unusual option, and it’s also easy to make yourself. Either metal or wooden racks to create a frame between which flexible rods are woven. Again, for proper reliability it is necessary to protect the structure from moisture
Purchased plastic garden arches	This option has gained quite a lot of popularity due to its low cost and ease of use. They are sold ready-made, and to assemble them you do not need complex instructions or special tools. In addition, plastic is not afraid of moisture and is not subject to corrosion.

Advice!
When choosing plastic products, you should pay the most close attention quality of the material, since on the market there are very often structures made from compositions that quickly become unusable.
The surface must be smooth and durable, without changes in color or visible flaws.

Review of manufacturing features of some options

If you decide to make arches for the garden with your own hands, then the information presented in this section will help you better understand the technology of manufacturing structures and help you organize the work process correctly. We will touch on the most popular solutions and describe them in the form of simple step-by-step descriptions.

Wooden structures

Garden wooden arches can be made in several ways, but we will look at the simplest of them.

First you need to stock up necessary tool and materials:

• Beams for racks, most often 4 pieces are required, but if the arch is of increased length, the quantity will increase accordingly. The cross-section of the timber can be different, the main thing is that it is quite strong and does not succumb to deformation under the influence of unfavorable conditions. Most often, the choice is made on products with a cross-section of 10x10 cm.
• To decorate the roof, a board with a thickness of about 25 mm or more is used; you can even use the remains that have accumulated after or outbuildings.
• For the arch you will need several slats and a piece of moisture-resistant plywood or oriented strand board. You can make an arch simply from plywood, but in this case its thickness must be at least 10 mm.

• If garden arches for roses are being made, then it is best to stuff slats between the posts to create a lattice with a cell of 10-15 cm; it is very convenient for climbing plants to entwine this type of structure.
• The following tools will be needed: a hacksaw or a special electric saw, a plane or grinder(you can get by with sandpaper), nails or screws (in this case you will need a screwdriver). Measuring devices are also needed: tape measure, ruler and pencil for marking.

Important!
All materials must be dry, since excess moisture leads to deformation of the finished products, which deteriorates the quality and appearance of the arch.

The workflow goes as follows:

• First, the posts are cut off and reinforced into the ground, and it is important to place them evenly and at the same distance from each other. The wood is treated with compounds that protect it from mold and pests.
• Next, arched elements are made; the easiest way is to make them from a thick piece of plywood. The desired shape is drawn on the material, after which it is cut out with a jigsaw; you can do the same using a furniture board.
• After this, all parts of the arch are fastened with bars, and decorative elements, which can be of various shapes and sizes, are attached on top. The assembled structure is attached to the racks.
• Lastly, the grate is filled between the racks; thin slats are used for this.

Metal products

Metal garden arches are less popular due to the fact that working with the material is much more difficult. But in some cases, this option is the most preferable due to its high strength and the ability to build lightweight but very durable structures.

Let's consider what you need to stock up on before starting work:

• First of all, you need to purchase a sufficient amount of basic material. This can be either round timber or profiled metal, as well as pipes of a wide variety of sections. From different options various metal garden arches are obtained.
• You will also need a welding machine; nowadays many compact options have appeared, which simplifies the work. In order not to specifically buy equipment, you can rent it; this service is common almost everywhere.
• To cut elements and clean them, it is best to purchase a grinder and a set of appropriate cutting and grinding discs.
• To protect finished products, it is necessary to use paint; it is best if it is a composition with anti-corrosion additives, this provides more reliable protection.

The work process is organized as follows:

• First, a specific project is selected, which indicates all the dimensions of the future product. After that, the metal is cut into pieces of the required size.
• To obtain neat bends, it is recommended to use a special device - a pipe bender; it is used to make not only arches, but also small decorative elements in the form of rings, curls, etc.

• After all the elements are prepared, you can begin welding the structure. If you do not have experience in carrying out such work, it is better to hire a specialist.
• The last stage is installation (the stands can be concreted for strength) and painting of the products; within a day, metal garden arches are completely ready for use - you can plant plants and attach decorative elements.

It is worth noting that great value It also has the right one, planted near the arch; climbing crops with abundant flowering are best suited.

Conclusion

garden arch- a simple element that will become an excellent decoration for the site, and, if desired, will serve as a place to relax. The video in this article will clearly show some of the features of the workflow.

Regardless of the design option for your site, the garden arch will be one of the main elements of its decoration. Despite the fact that this type of structure is designed to support climbing plants and emphasize their beauty, the arch itself is an excellent landscaping tool. Light, openwork structures that rise above the surrounding environment cannot fail to attract attention. Let's discuss how to build a garden arch with your own hands.

A garden arch is a worthy decoration for any garden

Business card of your site

To decorate the arch garden plot, it is important to choose the location for its installation wisely. A similar design can be used to designate a separate area of ​​the yard. For example, install an arch for climbing plants over the path between the utility area and the general area of ​​the site, as in the photo.

The arch at the entrance to the courtyard looks interesting, welcoming everyone. This type of design must be made with high quality and decent design, as it will perform business card of the entire courtyard. Forged construction may be quite appropriate for such a case.

An elegant metal arch supports roses above the fountain sculpture

Somewhere in the depths of the garden there may be an arch, the main purpose of which will be to support climbing roses or grapes. It can be made from reinforcement or wood.

Designers propose making a kind of enfilade of several flower arches standing behind each other. When the climbing plants completely entwine the frame, you will get a tunnel leading to a gazebo in the garden or to a waterfall with a lake. They can be used as supports for grapes, climbing roses, and other flowers.

There is one more point that is important to pay attention to - the accuracy of the design. It can be assumed that the plants will hide asymmetrical support elements, protruding or uneven parts of the reinforcement from prying eyes. However, in winter period And early spring, when the plants have not yet woken up, the arch will stand without shelter. It is worth thinking about how the quality of the design will affect the appearance of the yard.

This arch separates the vegetable garden and common territory plot

Types of arches

It is easy to assume that such supports are most often metal, including forged or wooden. Practice shows that in fact, garden supports can be made from a wide variety of materials. Let's look at the most current options.

Lightweight heavy metal structures

Steel reinforcement is used quite often when creating arches. The steel supports are quite strong - they can withstand the significant weight of plants with flowers or grapes, as well as gusts of wind. At the same time, welded structures have an impressive appearance - they do not clutter up the space, and from the outside they appear openwork and light.

A mesh arch filled with soil: very interesting!

Metal arches can be made in various options. The simplest way is an arc of metal rod, the ends of which are fixed in the ground or attached to separate supports. Such an arch is unstable and difficult to make accurately. A slightly more complicated version of such a product looks more effective: two arcs of the same type that are connected to each other. As a connector, pieces of rod welded to reinforcement arcs or wire can be used.

The most complex option, but also quite aesthetically pleasing, is forged structures. However, it will not be possible to make such a support with your own hands if you do not have experience and tools. It is best to order such work from a professional.

The forged arch is spectacular even in winter time

U metal structures there is one significant drawback - they begin to rust over time. To avoid corrosion, it is necessary to use a frame with a special coating or paint the arch, but this will have to be done annually.

The accessible charm of warm wood

Wood is also a popular material for creating an arch. It is from this that it is easiest to create a structure yourself. The main obstacle when working with wood is the difficulty in creating an arched top. Due to this wooden supports make it U-shaped or in the form of a triangle.

The simplest version of a wooden arch is two supports, between which a crossbar is fixed. More complex options are a combination of two or more simple designs.

The tree has a well-known drawback: it is susceptible to rotting. You can combat this feature by covering the boards with stain, painting them in different colors, and varnishing them. There are also special antiseptic compounds that prevent rotting.

A wooden arch divides the area into zones

Convenient and modern plastic pipes

Today, garden arches made from plastic pipes, which are used for plumbing, are often used in private gardens. This is a durable material - it is not subject to rotting or corrosion. Craftsmen make such structures on their own, especially if they have experience working with plastic.

An arch is made according to the same principle as from metal. It is quite easy to bend the plastic in the right place, and a special welding machine is used to connect the parts. Finished goods relatively durable, and also successfully perform their functions. You can purchase ready-made plastic structures.

Flight of fancy and other materials

Creative people have learned to use a variety of materials to create garden arches. Sometimes you can see brick supports, arches formed from powerful roots, lamp posts, sculptural compositions, tree trunks entwined with roses. Also today, arches of unusual shapes are popular - round, domed, twisted. All this can be done with your own hands if you show imagination and put in a little effort.

Master class on making a wooden arch

DIY wooden arch

The garden arch that you see in the photo is a connecting element general design with pergola and trellis. The entire structure divides the yard into a common and utility zone. The arch itself also serves as a support for the climbing roses.


To build the wooden arch I used the following materials:
- timber with a section of 60X40mm;
-shanks for shovels with a diameter of 40mm;
-wood screws 4.2x76mm (black, rare pitch);
- impregnation for wood “Pinotex”;
- yacht varnish;
- galvanized box with a section of 60X60mm;
-cement and sand.

View of the arch from reverse side

The design has the following parameters: height 2m, width 2m, depth 0.8m. All parts were coated with impregnation and two layers of varnish before assembly. Four seasons of the arch's life have shown that the arch has to be varnished once every two years. Sometimes it is necessary to sand the darkened wood and re-coat it with Pinotex before varnishing. Then the entire structure always looks like new.

To install the supports, I dug four holes 0.4 m deep. At the ends of the 4 beams that will be in concrete, I put pieces of galvanized profile 60X60mm (I bought one fence post) and secured them with self-tapping screws. Since the timber is thinner, we had to fill the gap with a 10mm thick strip of plywood. It is easier to use special galvanized thrust bearings, but it was not possible to acquire them quickly. I set four beams vertically and in height using a level, temporarily fastened them with slats and screws, and concreted them.

This is what a support in the ground looks like

After the solution hardened, I connected the top of the supports first with transverse and then longitudinal beams. I wanted to provide a higher passage, so I added one more longitudinal beam on each side of the arch. All connections were made with self-tapping screws. In order not to load the screwdriver too often, the beam closest to the screw was pre-drilled with a diameter of 4 mm.

Installation longitudinal beam

On the “roof” of the arch I attached two more (four in total) transverse beams. Then he tied them together with several crossbars. This way the design looks more interesting, and the long beams will not “sink” from moisture.

Arch top design

All that remains is to cut and secure the ladder of shovels on the side walls of the trellis. Of course, you first need to mark with a ruler and pencil. I was diligent enough to treat all the ends of the parts with impregnation before installing them. But the places where the parts are joined do not “lose their face” over time, and the wood does not deteriorate.

Sidewall design

To cut the cuttings at the same angle, I first drew a template on a board and was guided by it when cutting. For these purposes, you can use a miter box.

Fastening the cross members

The result was a fairly rigid structure and no drawings were required. In any case, the roses like it.

DIY metal arch

DIY rebar arch

We propose to build a support consisting of two pieces of reinforcement bent in the shape of an arc. We will connect both lines of arcs with rigid wire. Introducing step by step instructions construction structures:

1. First you should think about what the dimensions of the finished support should be. From practice, for an arch 200 cm high you will need 2 rods about 6 meters long. In this case, the width of the structure is assumed to be approximately 1.8 meters. The step between the arcs will be 30-50cm. To fasten them together you will need pieces of wire of the same size.
2. To bend the rods correctly, you need to prepare a template. The drawing is drawn directly on the ground using a peg and cord. The twine is tied to a peg, the required length is measured and an arc is drawn.
3. Next, the already bent pieces of the frame should be connected to each other with pieces of wire or reinforcement. They can be welded in a simple way in the form of a ladder, or make them intersect, forming rhombuses or other shapes. First, they are welded along the edges of the frame (at the edges of the arcs and in the center), then the remaining space is filled with segments.
4. Mark the place where the support will be installed. At those points where the “legs” of the structure should be, holes are dug. Pipes are inserted into them, the diameter of which will allow the ends of the arcs to be placed inside. The pipes are then filled with concrete. After the solution has hardened, you can install the arch.

If the structure will spend the winter on the site, it is welded to the pipes. If the arch must be removable, its lower parts are fixed in the pipes using wedges. After installation is completed, the arch is coated with paint.

Green arches camouflage the structure among plants

As you can see, almost all the garden arches that are presented in our article can be made independently. We talked about the principles of working with metal, but you can make an arch from plastic pipes, or build it from stone or brick.

DIY garden arches: photos and ideas

To decorate the garden, many small architectural structures are used: pergolas, trellises, trellises, trellises. All of them are designed for growing climbing plants, but they differ in appearance and perform different functions. Arch is a single structure consisting of walls and a ceiling in the form of an arc or in the shape of the letter P.

Arches for the garden: functions and basic requirements

Surprisingly, these elegant designs, depending on their location, can radically change personal plot. With their help, you can create a romantic atmosphere, give the palisade a touch of mystery, aristocracy, or, conversely, emphasize naturalness.

The arch can be an independent element garden design, and an effective addition to planting compositions. It can also perform many other functions:

• provide support for plants;
• create architectural style;
• strengthen and support load-bearing pillars (if located above a wicket or gate);
• divide the garden into zones, for example, separate decorative vegetable garden from other plantings;
• can serve as a basis for a children's swing or hammock;
• used for lighting instead of lamp posts (at the entrance to a park or garden) or as a resting place if a bench is mounted next to or directly on the supports of the arch.

Requirements for a garden arch

Since the arch is a multifunctional structure, the requirements for it are high. First of all, it must be:

• made of high quality durable material which will ensure its resistance to any weather conditions;
• aesthetically pleasing, both entwined with plants and without them. A decorative iron arch or pergolas along the paths looks especially impressive in winter.
• made in accordance with the growth of all members of the family, taking into account the reserve for sagging stems of flowering and fruit-bearing plants.

Arch in the garden: materials and characteristics

From appearance, dimensions, as well as load-bearing materials determine how harmoniously and naturally the arch will fit into the garden. Outwardly, these may be the most unusual solutions from the simplest rectangular shape to an elegant openwork design.

But in order for them to fit harmoniously into the style of the palisade, it is necessary to build them of the appropriate size. There are no special rules on this matter, however landscape design when decorating a medium-sized plot, an arch 1500 mm wide, 2500-3300 mm high and 500-700 mm deep is used (depending on the varieties of plants chosen for decoration).

Typically, plastic, brick, metal and wood are used to make arched structures.

Plastic

The easiest way is to buy and install a PVC arch on the site. But, even despite the economy and variety of colors and shapes, it can last a relatively short time, and its level of stability leaves much to be desired.

Such arches are used only as decorative elements, for decoration and zoning; they are not suitable as supports for benches or pergolas for relaxation. In addition, they have to be removed for the winter, since in severe frosts the plastic can burst; another problem is that they cannot be placed in close proximity to the grill or outdoor stove.

Brick and stone

These materials are the most durable. Of course, anyone can make a rectangular arch out of brick, using the drawings and facing bricks, but truly unusual specimens that can be called an architectural miracle can only be created by a true professional in his field.

Brick arches can be so original in themselves that a frame of plants and flowers is not required to emphasize their beauty. For example, a stone vault over an entrance gate or central path looks very impressive. Also, such a decorative element is ideal to highlight a garden pond or flower bed.

Tree

The best way to make an arch in the garden with your own hands. Arch from natural wood easiest to fit into any style. You can also choose a garden set for it, or create a whole ensemble of gazebos, trellises and fences.

The service life of this material is not very long, so the wood must be treated before decorating and installation. antiseptic Stigma-D or Zobel and coated with a special paint such as MGF Eco Fassade M690.

Metal

A steel garden arch is the most durable and reliable. It allows you to create extraordinary planting compositions that will delight the eye both in summer and winter. The simplest option is to fasten the bent into an arc steel wire between supports.

Modern design Metal arches are surprising in their diversity; they can be elegant patterned structures or massive structures with inserts made of wood or stone. To prevent structures from corroding, their surfaces should be regularly maintained and primed special composition Biotex Effect and paint with at least two layers of alkyd enamel, for example, Tikkurila Miranol.

The main advantage of metal is its decorative effect. You can forge it yourself if you have specialized equipment, or order real masterpieces with chrome-plated rose petals from blacksmiths.

The easiest way is to make an arch with your own hands from wood and metal. Of course, even such a simple design will require certain financial and time costs, but as a result you will get an effective element of garden design.

Arch made of PVC pipes or wire and mesh

Climbing roses, glycines, and clematis will look great against the background of the original arched arch. To work, you will only need a few pieces of metal wire or pipes with couplings and a piece of plastic-coated mesh; they will simply be tied to the supports.

You can use plastic and metal-plastic pipes, for example, those left after installing water pipes or house sewerage. After assembly, the surfaces should be treated with primer and coated with paint.

Wooden arch for climbing roses

Larch or cedar are best suited for erecting such a structure, since these types of wood are more or less resistant to atmospheric influences: precipitation and decay. Although if they are not at hand, you can use lumber from pine or spruce, having previously treated them with an antiseptic. In order for the arch to be securely installed, it is mounted on steel pin supports, all nodes are connected with screws or dowels.

Rustic arch made of wood

Raw wood is a material that allows you to create an arch in an unusual rustic style. Straight-trunked species are suitable for this purpose: spruce, birch, fir.

For the base, it is better to use small round timber with a diameter of 70-75 mm; braces are made from thinner branches with a diameter of up to 35 mm. The parts are connected using nails and screws. After installation, the surfaces are covered with stain and varnish of natural colors, for example colorless PINOTEX CLASSIC.

Plants for decorating a garden arch

It’s not enough to just make an arched structure with your own hands; it’s more important to decorate it properly, only then will it become a full-fledged decoration of the garden.

A variety of climbing plants are used as frames for vertical landscaping, including arches. The most common of them:

• girl's grapes An unpretentious crop, distinguished by green foliage in summer and colorful dark crimson foliage in late autumn;
• clematis. The varietal diversity of these delicate flowers allows you to combine plants of the most unexpected colors;
• climbing roses. They bloom once a year, but very brightly and abundantly. They also have beautiful and richly colored leaves, so they will be an excellent frame for the arch from early summer to late autumn.

No less beautiful edging will be honeysuckle, ivy, campsis, actinidia and wisteria.

Bottom line

An arch is an ideal element of garden decor; depending on its location, zones change and planting zones are regulated, plantings and buildings are emphasized or distanced, changes general style and site design. If you build a structure, guided by our advice, and correctly combine plants in the right color scheme- the result will be a real architectural structure, despite the ease of construction and the small amount of time spent.

Plants on arches look very beautiful, and therefore are often used to decorate gardens and summer cottages. What climbing flowers can be used for arches - vertical gardening? This is what we will talk about.

Letniki

Sweet pea (sweet pea) - a vine quite often used in vertical gardening. The plant gained popularity due to its ease of care and abundant flowering. In total, gardeners are offered 16 groups of sweet peas, differing in flowering period, height and color. If you wish, you can choose a variety that will bloom even in a darkened area of ​​the garden.

Nasturtium - beautiful flowering liana. Rapid growth is not typical for it, and this must be taken into account when planting. The foreign nasturtium variety (known as Canary) looks very decorative. This is an annual vine that grows up to three meters in height.

It blooms with bright yellow inflorescences with corrugated edges. It is sown for seedlings in February, and permanent place planted in May, when the threat of frost has passed.

climbing roses

When choosing a variety, you need to pay attention not to the flowers, but to the shape of the bush. Most of the plants have thick, stiff shoots, so they are not suitable for arched growing.
Among the numerous varieties of climbing roses with large inflorescences and relatively flexible shoots, the following have proven themselves well:
· Zephirine Drouhin;
· Constance Spry;
· New Dawn.
They are used to decorate low arches.

For high forged supports, varieties with plastic wood are recommended. It is then convenient to remove them and roll them into rings for subsequent wintering. Good reviews small-flowering climbing rambler roses are obtained:
· Jasmina;
Florentina;
Excelsa;
· Dorothy Perkins;
Bobby James
Roses should be planted on one side of the arch, since thickening can lead to fungal infection. Growing shoots must be tied to the arch.
Before the onset of cold weather, the lashes are removed from the support, rolled up and insulated in two layers.

Clematis

Bright large inflorescences of clematis are in no way inferior in decorativeness climbing roses. These perennial vines bloom from mid-summer until frost.

The following varieties received good recommendations:
· Patens. Can grow up to five meters. The buds are large – up to 17 cm in diameter;
· Jacquemin. It has large inflorescences - up to 20 cm in diameter - purple, blue or lilac. Flowering duration is two months (from the beginning of July to the end of August). The peculiarity of the variety is its thin shoots that need a strong base.
Before the onset of cold weather, the shoots are removed from the arch and cut to a height of 20 cm. Peat or foliage is used as insulation.

Bougainwellia

If you need to get a beautifully designed arch, you can plant bougainwellia. The plant can be grown in a pot, wrapping long shoots around a support.
Bougainwellia is ideal for shady corners of the garden. In addition, it is unpretentious in care and resistant to various diseases and pest attacks.

Bougainvillea can be grown either through seedlings or by planting directly in a permanent place.

Wisteria Blue Moon

This variety of wisteria attracts with its variety of colors. You can choose a plant with red, blue, white or purple flowers. It blooms in the third year after planting.
The plant loves light, so you need to plant wisteria in open area. To stimulate flowering, it is fed with superphosphates in early spring.

It is worth noting that the vine is very difficult to care for, but it looks incredibly attractive.

morning glory

Morning glory is an annual vine with big flowers blue, purple, red or yellow saucer-shaped. They bloom early in the morning.
The maximum length of the vine is 1.5 meters. The heart-shaped leaves are also large - up to 12 cm in length.

Morning glory is easy to care for and can grow in any type of soil. Easily tolerates drought.

Kobeya climbing (Monastery bells)

Kobeya climbing in middle lane Russia reaches two or more meters in height. Blooms large flowers in the form of white or lilac bells.
The plant is unpretentious. It can be grown in both shade and sun. It is also undemanding to soils.

Kobeya is planted for seedlings in February. They are transferred to a permanent location in mid-May.

Campsis rooting

Campsis rooting – climbing plant, growing up to 12 meters in height. The vine has unusual-looking flowers: they are elongated in the form of a tube and have several shades at once, ranging from orange to red and yellow notes.

The plant grows well in the shade, but for lush flowering It is better to choose well-lit areas.

Hop

Hops is a perennial, low-maintenance vine. During the season it can grow 11 m, so it can braid a high arch in a couple of years.
The following varieties are most often used to decorate a summer cottage:
· Japanese hops. The liana grows slowly, but is distinguished by beautiful foliage - variegated and carved. Planted with seeds. The plant is able to fully master the proposed support in a couple of years;
· common hop. Distributed everywhere. The liana is undemanding in care and can grow on any soil.

When growing hops, you need to remember that they are actively growing, capturing new lands.

Arch design - features

The material that is planned to be used for support must be durable. It must withstand the weight of the plant in summer, and the weight of the snow crust.
Light plastic arch It is not advisable to use for climbing perennials. It will need to be disassembled in the fall and reassembled in the spring. It is suitable for annuals that grow and bloom for only one season.
When choosing an arch frame, you need to ensure that it fits into the overall design concept of the garden.
The height of the arch must be at least 2.5 meters. You need to take into account human height and the ability of the vine to grow. For the same reason - growth activity - the width of the arch cannot be less than 1.2 meters.
