Description

The Shire Arum arbour is a high quality garden feature with seating for two people. The arbour fits in well with most garden styles.

Open sides and a top trellis section make this a particularly attractive wooden arbour. With its solid apex roof it's very sheltered, whether you want to keep out of the sun or stay outside even when it's drizzling.

The Shire Arum is built from high quality, pressure treated timber and comes with a 10 year anti-rot guarantee. The colour of the pressure treatment is sufficiently light so that if you want to change the colour you'll be able to use an additional treatment of your own.

The arbour is supplied flat packed for self-assembly with easy to follow instructions, screwholes are not pre-drilled.

Pressure Treatment - With this treatment a preservative is forced into the timber under high pressure, providing effective long term protection against rot and fungus. Pressure treatment is almost colourless except for a light green tint caused by the copper content in the preservative. You can personalize the Arum Arbour by either painting, staining or it can just be left. In the course of time, the treatment greys, but this does not affect the quality.

Customer Reviews

"Good Quality Arbour Good quality arbour, took some putting together...but worth it. Only reservation I would have is the roof, not sure how long it will last...but is made of tantalised wood so fingers crossed. Delivery driver was really helpful, so overall a good experience thank you."

By Mr. Darren Bretton on 3rd November 2014

"Good quality, misleading assembly: Whilst we are more than happy with the quality of the arbour purchased, the fact that we had to drill all of the screw holes to assemble it was not what we expected. When you buy am product for assembly you do not want to have to spend a whole day doing it - with assistance as well. We felt that this was not made clear enough, and may have influenced in buying the product in the first place. Darren Bretton"

"THE ARBOUR MAKES AN EXCELLENT FEATURE: WE WANTED A SMALL FEATURE AT THE TOP OF THE GARDEN AND THE ARBOUR FILLS THE BILL PERFECTLY.IT IS FAIRLY HEAVY AND NEEDS TO BE BUILT IN SITU."
