Free Arbor Plans

The slight curves on the upper edges of the top beams, the curved cutouts on the bracing and the gentle concave arc at the ends of the crossbeams give this lattice-enclosed arbor a stately Oriental feel that blends with almost any garden or patio style.

This freestanding structure is built with cedar for durability, and standard dimensional lumber for ease of construction and cost. The only special tool you’ll need is a jigsaw to cut your curves, so this is a good project for a beginning wood worker.

Using this basic plan as a starting point, you can customize the styling to fit the design style of your home and property. Add a bench beneath the arbor, and you’ve created a quiet retreat for reading and relaxing.
