DIY garden arch-pergola for climbing plants
ARCHED PERGOLA FOR A GARDEN WITH YOUR OWN HANDS
Since his wife is fond of planting flowers, I decided to please her and make an arch-pergola for climbing plants at her summer cottage. I used polypropylene pipes as a basis.
It took: polypropylene pipe d 20 mm - 6 pcs. 2 m each, metal-plastic pipe d 16 mm, 13 m metal pipe 3/4 inch 2 m, galvanized self-tapping screws 3 × 16 mm 44 pcs. threaded stud M14 - 25 cm.
I decided to assemble the arch from two racks. The first step was to prepare the arcs. I screwed pieces of studs into the ends of a pipe 2 m long, and then, using a gas burner, bent it so that the distance between the ends was 125 cm (photo 1). In the same way, I bent another arc.
After I prepared the arch posts - also pieces of pipes 2 m long, but in them I twisted the studs only on one side, on the other they will be screwed to the arcs. I prepared four racks in total.
To install the arch-pergola, I made four clamps 3 cm long from a 4/50 inch metal pipe.At one end of each workpiece, I sawed teeth with a grinder (photo 2). Then he bent them into a cone with a hammer and hammered them into the ground, controlling the verticality with a level.
I installed arches in the clamping pipes driven into the ground, in my case the distance between them is 28 cm.
I made twisted decorative elements from a metal-plastic pipe. To make them the same size in width, I used a template that I made from plywood and slats (photo 3)
I connected the finished "curls" and fixed them between the arches with self-tapping screws. My wife liked the design, she planted climbing plants next to her.

NOTE: A COUNTRY WASHBASIN AND A HEDGE FOR ROSES WITH YOUR OWN HANDS
I saw how a neighbor on the site takes out boards and door frames into the street, intending to send them to the landfill. She took this building material for herself and, together with her brother, made a country sink and hedges for roses from it.
From two wide boards and slats, the son assembled a lattice of suitable width and height on self-tapping screws (photo 1), in addition to the rack for the tank, it will also serve as a support for climbing plants. A shelf was mounted on top of narrow planks so that you could put a soap dish and detergents for dishes.
The support was painted white with paint for outdoor use. The son bolted the purchased tank with bolts, and corners to the legs with long self-tapping screws so that after installation the wood did not touch the ground, so the support would last longer. Holes were dug in the right place on the site and a washbasin was installed (photo 2).
In the summer, he was beautifully entwined with plants. Likewise, on self-tapping screws, the son assembled two lattices from boards and slats - hedges for roses. One was painted with white paint, the second was treated with an antiseptic and varnished in two layers (photo 3). My son dug in the fences next to the porch of the house, and I planted flowers there - already in the spring the trellises “bloomed” (photo 4).
