Absolutely love this arbor. So much so that I ended up purchasing a trellis to match it! I assembled it in about 90 minutes by myself in my livingroom before carrying it outside. I did sink it in concrete to give it permanence in its new home. I have a Raspberry Cream Twirl rose bush climbing up one side and a Peaches and Cream Honeysuckle on the other. I use strips of old nylons to secure and train my plants. This arbor withstands Oklahoma winds very well and has not been beat up by our crazy weather this far. I am extremely pleased and would highly recommend this arbor.
