But some arbours are deeper than arches and have a place for you to sit. This may be in the form of a built-in seat or one of your own chairs. Most arbours are freestanding and have rounded roofs.

You can consider growing grapevines across the roof but it also works well with clematis and other climbers.

The 10-year warranty against rot damage shows how resistant the wood is so you do get that extra peace of mind.
