Description

How does the unique cladding design enhance the overall structure?

The Shire Bejoda Arbour utilises 12mm x 46mm slatted cladding to provide a smooth curvy finish that elevates your garden aesthetics. This distinctive slatted construction not only creates a striking visual profile but also promotes excellent natural ventilation around the seating area. The carefully spaced timber slats form a robust arched canopy that filters sunlight, establishing a beautifully shaded resting spot on warmer days. By wrapping the curved roof and side panels in this high-quality 12mm x 46mm slatted cladding, the structure maintains a light, open feel while remaining structurally rigid.

What treatments are used to defend the timber against seasonal decay?

This garden arbour incorporates pressure-treated timber to effectively defend against fungal rot and wood-boring insects over time. Manufactured entirely in the UK using sustainable timber, the wood undergoes an intensive preservation process where protective treatments are forced deep into the grain. This essential manufacturing step helps resist the effects of ground moisture and seasonal weather fluctuations, significantly reducing the need for regular ongoing maintenance. Because the pressure-treated timber is so well-protected, the framework remains strong and dependable throughout the changing British seasons.

How does the framework ensure reliable daily stability?

The 4 x 3 arbour is supported by internal 34mm x 34mm framing, which ensures enhanced stability for everyday outdoor use. This substantial internal framework acts as the solid backbone of the structure, allowing the curved slatted panels to securely lock into place without flexing. Built to accommodate adults comfortably, the solid timber seat integrates seamlessly with the robust 34mm x 34mm framing to prevent wobbling or structural fatigue. The generous 4 x 3 footprint further guarantees that the enclosure remains firmly planted in your garden environment.

Walls – 12mm x 46mm slatted

Make the Most of Your Arbour Seat

Create a serene garden retreat by positioning the 4 x 3 arbour along a sunny pathway or nestled into a quiet corner of your lawn. The breathable 12mm x 46mm slatted cladding allows climbing plants like clematis or honeysuckle to weave through the timber gaps, seamlessly blending the smooth curvy finish into your existing floral borders.

Establish a dedicated focal point on a paved patio or gravel area to enjoy shaded relaxation during the summer months. The robust 34mm x 34mm framing ensures a stable seating baseline on harder surfaces, whilst the heavily protected pressure-treated timber defends against sitting moisture pooling around the base.

Arbour Maintenance

The Shire Garden Arbour is made with pressure-treated timbers. The pressure treatment process forces preservatives into the wood under high pressure. It provides effective long-term protection against rot and fungus. Pressure treatment is almost colourless except for a light green tint caused by the copper content in the preservative. Over time, the treatment greys, but this does not affect the quality.

Shire, the manufacturer, advises that you must apply a wood stain, paint or waterproofing topcoat to make the product more water-resistant. The treatment must be carried out immediately after installation. Using the treatment after installation, followed by consistent annual treatment of the garden arbour, will maintain the high-quality finish and is a requirement of the 10-year anti-rot guarantee. A 1-year manufacturer's warranty is included as standard.

To treat the arbour, elbec recommends Protek wood treatment. Browse our Protek Royal Exterior Wood Finish Paint range to find the best paint colour to add your personalised finish. In the options section, we’ve included popular colours and a Wood Preserver+ for use underneath your colour choice.
