Description

Introduce a sense of grandeur to your garden with the Rowlinson Cheltenham Grand Arch. Designed to be wider than standard, this substantial timber structure creates a truly impressive statement piece, perfect for marking pathways or defining entrances. The traditional style square arch benefits from curved diagonal bracing and rounded roof rafters, adding a layer of sophisticated depth that commands attention in any outdoor setting.

Beyond its architectural appeal, this structure serves as an outstanding base for horticulture. The integrated diamond lattice side panels are specifically crafted to support trailing and climbing plants, allowing you to weave fragrant roses or vibrant clematis through the wood to soften the robust frame and add seasonal colour. Delivered in a versatile natural timber finish, the arch blends harmoniously into natural surroundings, yet gives you the freedom to paint or stain the wood to complement your bespoke exterior palette.

Durability and environmental responsibility are at the core of this design. Built from sustainably sourced timber, the arch meets strict environmental standards, ensuring your landscaping project remains an eco-conscious choice. Furthermore, the wood arrives pressure-treated to help resist rot and the effects of damp weather, prolonging the life of your investment. With comprehensive instructions and all fittings included, the assembly is surprisingly simple, meaning you can construct your new feature without delay.

Make the Most of Your Cheltenham Grand Arch

To fully appreciate the scale of this wider-than-standard structure, position it as a grand gateway between different areas of your landscape. It serves beautifully as an entrance leading from a patio into a lush lawn, or as a welcoming portal into a dedicated vegetable garden. The flat, pergola-style open top casts highly attractive shadows on sunny days, making the area directly beneath it an excellent spot for a small, secluded seating arrangement where you can sit back and enjoy the surrounding flora.

Maximise the utility of the diamond-lattice side panels by pairing the arch with vigorous-climbing varieties. Planting evergreen ivy or jasmine at the base will gradually transform the heavy-duty wooden frame into a living, breathing green pillar that looks spectacular year-round. As the plants eventually reach the rounded roof rafters, they will weave across the top, providing a canopy of foliage and blooms that creates a truly immersive, romantic walkway for you and your guests.

Garden Arch Maintenance

The Rowlinson Cheltenham Arch is made from pressure-treated timbers for excellent durability and longevity. Rowlinson’s pressure-treated products do not require annual re-treatment. If desired can be painted or stained. An anti-rot solution in the timber structure improves resistance to rot. The treatment may leave a greenish tinge on the wood; this is normal and will grey over time. The manufacturer advises that if you want to paint your garden arch a different colour, ensure the treatment you choose is recommended for pressure-treated timber.
