,Nice. I wonder how wide the space in between measures. You could put a bench there if its wide enough. Lisa in Cali. had one, but I dont know if she ever installed hers. Tha t would look gorgeous with roses!

I am so seriously thinking of going back for it. On further thought, looking at it - I don't think you could fit a bench in between the feet. The store had HUGE tall (not wide) urns on the stands which stick out into the arch a bit you could still walk between, but wasn't 4'. You'd have to put the bench behind it a bit. Which is what I'd do... using the arch to frame a garden alcove sort of. The pot holders are like metal lattice (round bars, not flat though) they are on the inside, in the curves of the feet.

Here's the description on the Zaer International website (the mfg).

Its really nice! Its gonna look so pretty.

I envy those who can have metal arches etc. Unless its heavily galvanized etc it would rust out here since we have salt air and lots of rain & humidity lol. I was thinking about getting a really large cattle hay ring and using that for a moongate. It wouldn't rust as fast here and no one could tell how ugly it was once it was covered with greenery lol. They are often sold used/cheap on Craigslist or FB Marketplace.

I love it!

You could put a bench inside one end whereby blocking off the exit and making it a cozy retreat for you to sit and enjoy a Frosty beverage

I mentioned it to husband and got ‘roll eyes’…lol. We just got done with this:

For reference, my hubby whom you see standing next to this root balls… is 6’1” tall…

The big bare spot = future rose garden. We have one more stump and root ball to get out of the way.

I can totally relate to the eyeroll

Jackie, What a beautiful garden... and trellis. All match. I'm still thinking to go back to see if the moon trellis is still there.... Sooo tempted... I'll have to spray it white to at least match the white trellis and white arbor I already have..... but I'd rather not. I LIKE the black iron.

Jackie, what a magical walkway you created with 2 of the moon gates. Wow that is so cool !!

Thanks - my DH added the metal bars on top which join the 2 moongates together, and painted them to match. That tunnel replaced a previous wooden one which our Fire Dept did not like when they came to inspect our yard for fire safety. I like it much better than the old one!

A few years ago I was very close to buying a wood rack. It was a metal circle you stack wood in. I planned to plant it in my garden and let the local wild vines grow on it. I still wish I had gone for it!!!

A Moongate trellis isn’t your typical garden feature; it stands out. It’s one of those pieces that can make your outdoor space feel a little more magical, especially with the right plants around it. It brings a sense of calm and balance, like a doorway to a peaceful retreat. Plus, they’re so versatile! Depending on your vibe, you can go with climbing roses, ivy, or even something more vibrant. If you want something more durable and quirky for the garden, have you considered adding resin garden sculptures too? They’re great for bringing personality to your yard and last forever.

I agree that they are magical and think they might be used to entice people to go down a path (or up a path) they might otherwise overlook and not take, but which had something rewarding at the end, like a little glade..
