Description
The Rowlinson Harrogate Arbour provides a classic focal point for any garden. Designed with a traditional apex roof, this sturdy structure works well in both formal and cottage-style landscapes. It is supplied in a natural timber finish, presenting a rustic appearance right away, while also offering a blank canvas for those who prefer to paint or stain the wood to match an existing colour scheme.
Designed with comfort in mind, the arbour features a carefully measured 22-degree seat back angle to ensure an ergonomic resting position. The generously proportioned bench comfortably seats up to three people, making it an ideal gathering place for family or a spacious retreat for one. A subtly decorative shaped front seat rail completes the seating area, alongside convenient flat armrests that provide a handy ledge for a mug of tea or a book.
Constructed with a solid tongue-and-groove back panel, roof, and sides, this garden building creates a pleasant sense of enclosure and privacy. The solid tongue-and-groove roof panels also provide welcome shade on sunnier afternoons. To aid longevity, the sustainably sourced timber is fully pressure-treated. This manufacturing process infuses the wood with preservatives to help resist rot and fungal decay, ensuring your seating area remains a reliable fixture year after year.
Features:
Framing Finish - Smooth planed timbers
Seats - Up to 3
Treatment - Pressure-treated for longevity
Leg Dimensions - W95 x D45 mm
Delivery - Delivered flat-packed for easy construction
Make the Most of Your Garden Arbour
To get the best out of the Harrogate Arbour, consider its placement within your garden carefully. Positioning it against a dense hedge or tucked into a quiet corner can maximise the feeling of privacy created by the solid panels. It serves beautifully as a destination point at the end of a garden path or as a spot specifically to catch the late-afternoon sun. Adding a selection of outdoor-safe cushions will instantly increase the comfort level, turning this wooden seat into an inviting outdoor living space where you can enjoy a morning coffee or a quiet evening unwinding.
Beyond just a seating area, the arbour offers an excellent opportunity to integrate more colour and greenery into your outdoor space. While it arrives ready to use, painting the timber in a soft sage green or a striking slate grey can alter its character entirely. You might also encourage climbing plants, such as scented jasmine, clematis, or rambling roses, to grow around the robust outer frame. As the foliage intertwines with the timber over the seasons, the arbour will blend naturally into the environment, creating a shaded, fragrant canopy that looks entirely at home in your garden.

Garden Arbour Maintenance
The Rowlinson Harrogate Arbour Seat 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 arbour a different colour, ensure the treatment you choose is recommended for pressure-treated timber.
