Trellis & Arbors

 
This is an arbor that I'm delivering to Chestertown Maryland. The customer has the steel leaves of her choice waiting for me there. I'll weld over 100 onto this arbor. I'm also fabricating and installing a handrail on this job that I will also wrap in vines and leaves as well as a mailbox.  
 
and here it is with the leaves  
 
   
 
   
 
   
 
   
 
 
These two are not walk through, but more to fill nooks and corners.  

 

   
 
   
I installed this arbor next to a private pond in Centerville Delaware.
 
 
   
This is the garden arbor I donated and someone bought at a benefit auction at The Hotel DuPont and then donated to The Helen Graham Cancer Center in Newark Delaware. I was told it sits at their pond out in the open area.
 
 
   
 
   
This is an arbor I made for myself. It weighs around a ton. It's all solid steel with no straight pieces. I bent all this by hand. It has windows, bench seats, flower boxes, and four opposing hooks for hanging plants. This year I planted a few different kinds of Morning Glories at it's base. Soon I will fill the flower boxes on each side. Eventually I'll add lighting. I can fabricate something like this out of aluminum so it would be transportable for beach weddings and such.
 
 
   
 
   
 
   
 
   
 
   
 
   
 
   
 
 
   
Arbor and attached gate. I made this for a customer here in Camden, Delaware. He wanted to keep his dogs away from his a/c condensers. This gentleman gave me work when I really needed it, so he got a steep discount. I fabricated and installed this arbor, double swinging gate and fence pannels for just $350. That included the material as well as two coats of a good rust inhibiting enamel. See? It pays to do good.
 
 
   
This is a garden arbor or wedding arbor. It features 4 TiKi torches, 2 shelves and 4 hooks for hanging plants. I'm keeping this one but I can make more.
 
 
   

 

   
 
   
   
   

 

   
I donated this to The Biggs Museum for a fund raiser.
 

 

   

 

 

 
These are obelisks or as my customer called them, tuteurs. Those long legs are 3/4" solid steel. These are 12 1/2' tall. The small one is about 7'. These were about $350 a piece. The customer is going to grow climbing roses and promised to give me a picture next year for my web site.

 
This next set of pictures is of arbors and trellises I admire and hope to make.
