The ‘Portofino’ Garden Arches:  Imposing Gateways to a World of Dreams

With its clear contours, the Portofino Garden Arch, is a gateway of elegant, sophisticated understatement. A classic round garden arch it makes a breath-taking entrance to the perfect garden, or an alluring entrée to a patio or a first-class restaurant. The name Portofino evokes the timelessness of youthful summer days spent in Italy, with steep cliffs, and the deep-blue water and white yachts of the harbours of Liguria, Tuscany or the Amalfi Coast. It is a name which captures the blissful sensation we feel at an amazing profusion of flowers, the feeling of dolce fa niente – the idle moments of carefree pleasure for which we often yearn.

During the summer months, an especially interesting effect is created if the solid form of the arch itself is allowed to peep out from under the blossoms and foliage that cover it. During the colder months, the Portofino Romanesque Garden Arch becomes an eye-catching element in its own right, especially when bedecked with frost or snow.

Extremely solid Garden Arch for ramblers and wisteria

The Portofino Garden Arch with its arch frames reaching to the ground, is preferable for hardy, deep-rooted climbing roses, clematis or wisteria. The model must be anchored firmly in the soil with concrete plugs. Made of steel, our arch comes in three standard widths, which should be suitable for most garden paths. However, if none of these sizes fits your path, we will be happy to advise you on the right proportions for your garden measurements and to manufacture a customized arch, including gates if desired.
