Presenting...THE Arbour

A few posts ago I mentioned the arbour or pergola my husband had designed which can be flat-packed and assembled elsewhere.
He was inspired by grand structures like these.

He put ours up in a day and put the finishing touches on it the next. This is how it looks, with some dramatic lighting thanks to the sunset. We predominantly want it as a carport/garage.

Excuse the number of pictures, but it's very photogenic.

At one stage my husband suggested painting it.....wait for it.....gloss red. I'm afraid that one didn't get past the keeper.

Although we are using ours as a garage, traditionally, they're more likely to be lawned underneath or paved and used as either a decorative garden structure, like so....

...or as an outdoor room.

By simply changing the colour and simplifying the detail, an arbour can fit into an Asian or tropical style garden, or be suited to a modern house. Genius, isn't it!

Our single garage sized arbour will set you back around $2,700. If you'd like to enquiry about your very own, made to fit your specific space, email me at madamrestora@hotmail.com
That's it!
