How to Build an Arch for a Vine

Arches are synonymous with elegance and a well-laid-out garden. However, they can also be expensive to purchase at a local gardening store. Building your own may appear intimidating but is actually only as difficult or as simple as you desire it to be. With the right tools, some patience and a steady hand, creating archways for vines to grow on can make a centerpiece for your garden that will continue to grow year after year.

Instructions

Determine where you want to place your archway. Dig four holes, 14 inches deep, at the corners of a rectangle that is 6 feet long and 2 feet wide.

Trim the branches off the saplings up to 6 feet from the bottom, creating one long pole with a variety of branches on top. Discard the branches or use them for the other pieces of the arbor if they fit the requirements.

Place one of the 2-foot pieces on the inside of the width, marked by the two posts, of the rectangle. Line it up so each end lines up with one of the posts, about 1-foot from the bottom. Drill one screw, 3/4-inch in from each end of the stick, through the stick and into the post. Repeat this with the other side.

Repeat step three with branches, 1 foot up from the bottom one. This creates a ladder with branches perpendicular to the posts every foot up from the bottom. Repeat this with the opposing two posts.

Place one sapling on the outside of one of the posts, 1-foot up from the ground. Screw it into place 3/4 of an inch from the bottom and 1 foot up from the bottom. Repeat this with the other three saplings and the other three posts.

Bend the tops of the saplings down toward the middle of the arch. Weave them together using the branches. Secure them with the wire and weave it throughout to add more support.
