Discover the Magic of Garden Arbours

Gardens are more than just outdoor spaces, they are sanctuaries where we can relax, unwind, and connect with nature. A well-placed garden arbour can elevate your garden experience, creating a spot for peace and quiet, intimate conversations, or a frame for your plants. A garden arbour can serve as a focal point, giving your garden a sense of structure and charm. At Shackletons Home and Garden, our collection of garden arbours is designed to capture the romance of traditional English gardens, with designs that can complement any landscape. Creating a magical and relaxing space has never been easier.

What are Garden Arbours?

Garden arbours are arch-shaped structures typically made of wood that provide an elegant touch to any garden design, designed to provide shade and support for climbing plants, these charming structures will enhance the beauty of any garden.

Benefits of Garden Arbours

Enhances Aesthetics

Garden arbours add a sense of whimsical charm to any garden, they serve as an eye-catching focal point in your outdoor space. Their graceful arches and intricate designs capture attention and create a sense of elegance. Whether you have a traditional, contemporary, or rustic design, there is an arbour that will fit your style.

Provides Shade and Privacy

One of the practical benefits of a garden arbour is the shade it offers; it provides a cosy and intimate retreat.  Imagine yourself nestled into the comfortable, plush seat in your arbour. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or unwind with a book in the afternoon.

Supporting Climbing Plants 

For anyone with a green thumb, garden arbours serve as ideal supports for climbing plants, adding an extra layer of beauty and natural ambience to your outdoor space. Some plants we recommend are bluebell creepers, Dutch honeysuckle, and roses. As the vines and flowers grow and intertwine around the arbour, it creates a captivating living display.
