Frequently Asked Questions About Garden Arches and Arbors

  • What is the difference between a garden arch and an arbor?

    A garden arch is a curved or pointed frame you walk through, usually open at the top. An arbor is generally broader and more substantial, often with a flat or lattice top, and a pergola extends that idea into a covered walkway. Kinsman carries Solid Rod, Ogee and Moon Gate arches alongside the flat-topped Pergola Arbor.

  • What size garden arch do I need for my path?

    Measure your path first, then choose an arch wide enough that climbers can fill in on both sides without crowding people walking through. The Lattice Arch is 4' 9" wide and 7' 1" tall, the Solid Rod Monet Arch is 5' wide and 7' 3" tall, and the Pergola Arbor is 5 ft wide and 7 ft tall. For more height, the Ogee Arch stands 10' 4" to the tip of its finials, and the Moon Gate Arch comes in 84" and 108" sizes.

  • How do you anchor a garden arch to the ground?

    All Kinsman arches come with ground spikes or anchors. The Lattice Arch has 13" spikes with 8" going into the ground, the Solid Rod Monet Arch sets 12" into the ground, the Ogee Arch comes with four ground spikes, the Pergola Arbor has a 9" anchor at each corner, and the Moon Gate Arch uses four 18" spikes to anchor its base plates. Set the arch in firm soil and check that it is level before you plant.

  • What are the best climbing plants for a garden arch?

    Climbing roses, clematis, wisteria, honeysuckle and trumpet vine are all classic choices. A climbing rose paired with a clematis works especially well on the Lattice Arch, where the latticework gives both plants something to hold. Heavy, vigorous vines like wisteria need a strong structure, which is what the all-steel Pergola Arbor is built for.

  • What is a moon gate arch?

    A moon gate is a circular garden opening inspired by Chinese architecture, used as a passageway or to frame a view. Kinsman's Moon Gate Arch is made from tubular steel, powder coated black, in two sizes: 84" tall by 89" wide and 108" tall by 120" wide. It also makes an elegant setting for weddings and anniversary celebrations. The 108" size ships by truck freight within the contiguous 48 states.

  • What are Kinsman garden arches made of?

    Every Kinsman arch and arbor is made from strong steel, powder coated black. The Lattice and Solid Rod Monet arches use solid steel rod, the Ogee and Moon Gate arches use steel tubing, and the Pergola Arbor is all steel, also powder coated. Near the ocean, touch up any wear with a rust-preventative spray, as you would with any outdoor steel.

  • Do garden arches need to be assembled?

    Yes. Each arch and arbor ships for assembly at home, and every product page links to downloadable assembly instructions. Weights run from about 32 lbs for the Solid Rod Monet Arch to about 98 lbs for the 108" Moon Gate Arch, so plan on a second person to assist with assembly.
