jitterbug...looks wonderful...you and DH have created some beautiful settings for your gardens...read your page...looks like everything is coming along real nice...beautiful area! Lookin' forward to seeing more of this natural arbor. Great work! Jeanne S.

Oh, I love that arbor, it's gonna be a good sturdy one! Natural is the way to go if possible, and that's what I love about it.

Get your SIL to show you how to manage those photos, it's so much easier than you think! Photobucket makes it very easy, and this forum is easier than most also. Because if I can learn how to manage the photos, anyone can! LOL, and trust me, I'm still learning ... Miss Jeannespines gave me a lesson recently, and now I'm not posting giant photos anymore :-) Help is here, and so many folks are glad to help you too! Don't be shy about asking! We are hooked on pictures LOL!

I bet those vines add a lot to it too! Can't wait to see updated pics! ~tenderlee

Your arbor is looking very good! Looks very sturdy and should hold a significant amount of plant weight! Let us see the final arbor and tell us what you decide to plant too! Great job!

Love it...So rustic...

I LOVE YOUR ARBOR!!!! Just fantastic! Don't you love using nature's treasures? I made a twig arbor a few years back, using River Birch trees. Can't wait to see future pictures! Bear Hugs! Kirk

Here's the arbor I mentioned:

Very nice - I love rustic arbors. It's still on my to-do list for hubby tho. Too many other things ahead of it, but it's coming!

TFS!

Looking good!! Lucky you to have BF talented in building things!! That you should last many years!! Jan

I love the natural materials used to make different things. Jitterbug this is going to be very nice when done. Oh and Kirk do so like yours too.

Love them both.

Your arbor looks great!
Oh, thanks for telling some things about yourself on your 'page'--I saw that you were in zone 8 and wanted to know more-I'm in 8b,NWFl. I have been to Park seed before, and I thought it was wonderful!

Jitterbug,
I love your arbor!! I wish I had one or two or three of
these!

Jitterbug, now I am jealous. You're getting the arbor PLUS a bench. I saw some at the flea market this past weekend. Drooled all the time was looking. Can not wait to see the finished pieces. PIX PLEASE
