Arbors

Arbors are generally used over walkways and footpaths. They are vertical structures used in a garden or landscape that can provide privacy, shade, shelter, and also serve as a very attractive ornament. They can be used to separate parts of the yard, blend in with the landscape, or even to direct people as they traverse the area. The walls and roof are open, allowing for the growth of climbing plants or vines. They’re perfect for climbing flowers to grow on and can create an amazing view. Designs can range from basic to more elaborate, depending on your preferences. Arbors can be attached to any wall or fence, or be freestanding. The arbor can have lattice walls or open walls. The one above has a single lattice wall. Arbors are typically wood or wrought iron.
Trellises

Trellises are generally used to create a place for flowers to grow and can be used to create privacy around the yard. They come in various sizes and shapes, depending on what you might want. It is a simple framework constructed from vertical supports and horizontal framing, often similar to lattice. Plants like vines, small trees, or some shrubs do well growing up a trellis. These are simple to construct and install so the do-it-yourselfer will have no problem with these.
You can get them pre-made and ready to be set in your yard. You need to be sure the trellis is strong enough to hold the weight of whatever you will have growing on it. Some fast growing vines can cover a trellis quite quickly and can assume a lot of weight when fully grown. It also needs to be able to withstand the weather in your area. Snow and ice can create a lot of weight the trellis might need to hold.
Another way these are made is by using wire to make simple criss-cross patterns across a wood frame against a wall. Certain vines love the thin wire and will completely cover it over time.

Pergolas
A pergola is a structure that forms a walkway or sitting area. It is constructed of posts with cross beams across the top and open horizontal beams or sturdy lattice on top. Pergolas are most typically used as vine-surrounded passageways and when done well can be quite striking.
Pergolas are also a way of providing some shade over a larger area. They’re great for climbing flowers and can be used over seating areas to create new shade. Pergolas can be attached to the house, over a deck, or covered to create even more shade. Pergolas are often confused with arbors. A pergola is typically much larger than an arbor and is often used simply as a vine-covered walkway, though now putting seating in them is becoming popular. |
