How to build a porch-like arbor?

Question

We want to build a large arbor off the side of our tall plain house. But ive never seen plans for one... Any one know any websites?

Answer 1

Don't hesitate to design your own. I did so about 6 years ago, and it is still the talk of the town. I used basic carpentry and construction techniques garnered from how to books on patio and gazebo building purchased from Lowes. You can achieve some great results if you apply a creative eye to such a large yard structure.
Good luck.

Answer 2

You can google search for arbor and find the one you like and easy to make (size is not matter). Then do it by yourselves. HomeDepot Have all the material you need to build a arbor.

I just built a very large arbor for my own house, it looks like a gate, and my neighbors like it very much.

Note: the arbor they sell is not firmly attached to the ground, I use cement to make foundation, like the fence pole in the ground.

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/UMsPJ
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.

Answer 4

Try this one I have used it in the past, or go to home depot and buy a landscaping design magazine
