A: Thank you so much for the interest. Our office designed these custom arbours and then a metal fabricator created them for us. Hard to say what is available as far as a ready-made purchase but you could try looking at your local garden or hardware shops or online on Houzz / Wayfair / Home Depot etc. A brand you may try looking for is Gardman (based out of the UK but they appear to sell on various websites) https://www.gardman.co.uk/garden-arch/ This arbor has a similar feel, just keep in mind that dimensions and finish may be slightly different. You could also try contacting a local metal fabricator. Take some inspiration photos to show them and work together to design something custom. **Q: Like the row of trees in the background, with the reddish hues.** *(in Photo Questions)* What kind of trees are they? A: Hi Deborah, The trees in the background with the great colour are Liquidambar styraciflua. **Q: Hi Ron, Is this catmint around the urn?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Gale, No future garden trips planned at this stage. Cheers, Ron **Q: Gravel in the driveway** *(in Photo Questions)* What kind of gravel you have used and where to get it from in Vancouver are. Thanks so much A: Thank you for the inquiry, this gravel was trucked in from Vernon, BC. The product is called Desert Stone 3/4" crush from the Desert Rock Company (250) 309-2618. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-03.*
