Nice Arbour
All good with service & delivery - we painted ours before assembly, 2.5 litres of a good quality garden colour enough for multiple coats - we did in two colour. The thin cross beams for its roof are not great quality but adequate after paint - i'd not recommend these are left bare as they will not last. Bench parts seem to make up for this having been selected from a harder wood than the rest. Other recommendations - if you have the patience - a spray adhesive liberally applied into the lattice framework ( where the lattices meet the main frames internally) will stop rot and wood chewing insects. Same where the thin lattice bars intersect, but also that will strengthen the delicate structures as some staples will be tight others loose and the adhesive binds tight as well as prevents chewing and rot between all lattice cross over places. Joints can be sealed both with paint coverage and a sealer in gaps - it is wise to fill any cracks or small holes filled with sealer before paint. Ours is protected for a 'lifetime' in this way and the process took a day extra but is more than worth it. List - 2.5 garden paint - 1 500ml spray adhesive - 1 gum applicator bound tube of 'hard as nails' ( which is an excellent - filler - adhesive- sealer). These arbours were once on market at twice the price and might have had some parts produced out of lower quality wood to meet later price point - which is why use an entire 2.5 paint and seal every crevice to get maybe 100 years :). Another tip with garden paint is to ignore long drying times as recommended between coats - that just allows it to harden and be brittle later. Thus as well as a huge time saving, apply multiple coats just after tacking off since this causing the paint to never quite dry beneath ( which causes flexibility ) - then it does not crack as the wood expands and contracts and is more of a semi rubberised coating. Without all this - a lovely arbour and good value though i'd feel rot problems shall begin at around just 5 years if not treated Yes i did have too much time on my hands this morning !!

Brilliant Arbour
We wanted an arbour for our garden and chose the parisienne model. The price from Gardensite was the cheapest I found. The whole ordering process was simple. I chose my delivery date and got a text the night before with a 4 hour delivery time slot. Would highly recommend the company. The arbour is beautiful we are very pleased with it.

Parisienne Arbour
Delivery guys were very helpful. Pre-drilled would be really useful on the main frame. Only present on the bench.
