                Hi FM, I really do enjoy reading your posts as you're so optimistic and full of the joys of gardening.........makes me jealous at times! I think you might mean an Arbour??, that is if you're making it into a place with somewhere to sit with shelter. Which ever it is it sounds really great and I wish you luck with it.:thumbsup::thumbsup::D
