The completed Arbour seen from the rear, with the supplied landscape fabric and wood chips plus retaining boards (not supplied in kits) fitted to ease strimming of grass.

Note that this customer has modified the use of an 8ft kit to make a wider, open-fronted shelter rather than a circular Arbour.

Joan and Graham tell me:

"We shortened the diameter about 1 ft to fit in the space, and made the outside edge a semicircle +4 ft to give us a better wider view from seats inside.
Graham made a narrow trench round the outside and trapped the edge of the black liner into it with wood .
The wood will protect the willow when the grass is strimmed."

Full marks for ingenuity - you've made a fine job of the Arbour. Thanks for the photo record ! Colin
