CUSTOM WOOD GATE ARBOR 4

Valance style wooden arbor with wedged joinery.

Prowell’s #4 wood garden arbor is designed as an extension assembly to existing posts, columns, and wall-tops. Below, we show a common extension for existing 4×4 posts, with the mounting caps seating themselves onto the tops of the posts and the complete assembly mounted in a matter of a few minutes. The hint of Japanese aesthetics is furthered by the exposed wedges.

GARDEN ARBOR WOOD 4

The wedges of garden arbor 4 are fabricated from Bubinga, Sepele, or Honduras Mahogany.

GARDEN WOOD ARBOR 4-1

The #4 wooden garden arbor at 6-ft width. Here, per our patron’s request, we have lengthened the pickets.

garden arbor #4 plays on the strength of a through-tenon secured by a wedge— illustrated by Japanese temples whose glue-less joinery holds today, some thousand years after their original construction. In theory, if conditions are met that disallow the invitation to fungi and bacteria, and the methodologies of construction are sound, an assembly will last.
Conditions:

The proper wood species. certain woods are innately capable of resisting bacteria.
The general design that prevents dark cavities without light and air-flow. Such cavities collect moisture, and suddenly they become incubators for rot.
Joinery that allows the wood to breath, expanding and contracting for centuries without being hindered by a faulty design.
Joinery that is sound and accurate.
Set beyond the reach of SUV front bumpers.

CUSTOM WOOD GARDEN ARBOR

Prowell’s custom wood arbors often arrive, as shown above, and below, with the mounting caps fixed to the arbor trusses. Depending on the application, the caps mount to your posts, columns, or wall-tops with either wood screws through the pre-bored holes in the caps, or with the threaded rod shown on the left. A corresponding hole is bored into the tops of the site posts, allowing the threaded rod to ‘seat’ itself (Construction caulk adhesive or epoxy is recommended.). You will occasionally see examples of where the arbors mount directly onto the site posts, which extend to fit the notch on the underside of the arbor top beam. In this, the foreshortened side posts are not required, and the arbor is priced accordingly.

Custom Wood Arbors mount with threaded rod.
