Hi Ellie~

If you put in twig arbor in the search bar at the bottom of the Garden junk page, it takes you to several great posts by our GJ members. Also, in the post by Luna..there is a link to a P.Allen Smith video that gives info on constructing them. Good luck and don't forget to let us see what you come up with!! We love pictures as you well know!

Thank you Marlene. Don't know why I didn't think of that. It will be awhile before I attemp to make one of these..Just wanted to know basically what to use and how to keep it all together. I definitely have to get the camera out and take pics of what I have accomplished lately,which really isn't much up to this point. Have a few works in progress. LOL

Hi Ellie, I found a great book at a yard sale for 75 cents. The title is "Making Bentwood Trellises Arbors Gates & Fences" by Jim Long. Great book! Tells you about what kind of wood to use and what NOT to use. Has patterns of different kinds of arbors, trellises, etc. and gives you pointers when building them. I haven't made anything yet because I just got it. But worth look for on e-bay or amazon, etc. I am glad I found it before someone else snatched it up. Anny

I used Jim Long's book to guide me in making an arbor a few years back... It's a GREAT book! Bear Hugs! Kirk
