1.Grape Vine Arbor
This arbor was built for Riversong Bed & Breakfast, Courtenay, B.C.
It was built as a replacement for their previous arbor that had rotten
posts and had blown over. This had left a huge grapevine needing
emergency care. Wanting to match the entrance arbor we searched our
favourite beaches for straight posts. The posts we found were quite
rough so Sandra used a draw knife or spoke shave to remove bark and
smooth the wood. Some of the smaller pieces were found along the
Puntledge River which the B&B overlooks. The arbor was constructed on
site, to the same dimensions as the original. All pieces are held in
place with 4 to 8 inch galvanized spikes. We hope that Lawrence and
Lia the owners and their guests enjoy this arbor for many years to
come. |
2.Royston Rose Arbor
Vickey and her husband gave us a call because they needed something
for their climbing rose to grow on. We met them on site to see what we
could do. They live near the ocean and wanted to decorate their garden
in a driftwood theme. Once the size was decided upon we went in search
of the appropriate pieces. We were lucky and came upon some large
curved pieces, perfect for what we had in mind.
Vicky was so pleased with the end result that she encouraged us to
hang a sign on her fence, promoting our arbors. The rose bush was so
happy that it covered the arbor in one season. Vicky also had us build
her a second arbor. |
3.Sandra's Favourite Arbor
A true example of creative recycling. From a major pruning job and
a massive tangle of cedar tree branches came the forms to make this
inviting entrance. This arbor has old-time, rustic charm which makes
it well suited to this historic pioneer cemetery site.
We thank Father George for the opportunity to work and create in
such a beautiful environment.

Qualicum Beach Arbor
The space for this arbor was created, when a problem tree was
removed. The owners decided on a driftwood arbor, reinforcing their
west coast theme.

Bridgid's Arbor
This arbor was built in Royston. It is built taller than usual to
allow the wisteria to cascade down. |
