2 Arbors I Finished Today...
Here are a couple of arbors I finished off today. I had nothing to do with the design. Personally, I'm not a fan of the design but it was done according to the landscape designer's specs.

Re: 2 Arbors I Finished Today...
Nice as always!
Now how the hell did they get a vine to grow up the first one so fast? |

Re: 2 Arbors I Finished Today...
Thanks for all the compliments!
As for the questions: The grape vine was being held up previously by a temporary steel contraption they had there. The inside top of the "grape" arbor actually has a grill constructed of 2x2's. Timing, kinda hard to say actually as the time was spaced out over a period of time. All the wood was dried prior to being sanded and stained (2 coats) and assembled. Everything except the top beams were assembled on site. If I had to give a time frame for the actual work, I would say a week or so. Other than digging and setting the 8 posts, we were only on site a couple of days. The owners are Italian - not sure about the designer though...
