Tom Chambers Classic Garden Arch GA09

This appears to be solidly made and all parts slotted together accurately with no issues. It IS tight which contributes to its finished stability so it's important to grease ie vaseline all joints thoroughly to prevent getting jammed. I didn't do a final tighten till in place which helps and I expect to do a final allen key tweak in a few days when it settles. I was able to assemble and put it in place on my own although a more petite person (I'm 5'10") may struggle to get the arm span to be able to lift and carry it vertically. Do note (see my photo of annotated instruction sheet), that the C and D parts are mislabelled. It is however obvious when examined that the tapered poles are actually at the base as feet. The instructions are folded into the teeny screw/ keybox in case you can't find them! I received a spare bolt/ washer/ nut too which was reassuring. I did take a long time with a small spirit level as well as measuring the 110cm between exterior edges side to side to get the arch sitting true. Do invest the time doing this. If you have a vertical wall of a house or greenhouse in the background it's useful to use as a visual plumb line. Putting a small plank across opposite rungs also helps to set a spirit level on. I dug 4 holes in clay each about 18cm across and perhaps 25 - 30cm deep then used quick setting postcrete to anchor. I've no idea if it will rust (something tells me it might) but it's intended for a generous covering of clematis so it should look fine and last years as a support. Price-wise this compares very favourably to the more elaborate versions (same brand) on sale in garden centres locally. I'm considering buying another oone.

Having bought cheaper metal arches before that have collapsed, rusted and bent out of shape within 12-18 months, I thought I would pay a bit more for a better quality one.I have not been disappointed. Fitted together well with good quality screws and had extra washers, screw and nut as well.Ended up concreting it in place for extra strength as it had to support my rose that had been on a previous arch.Overall a nice looking and sturdy arch

Time will tell if this is worth the money, not sure yet. So far seems sturdy, was easy to put together by myself. Frames the path down my garden beautifully.

This arch is built of much sturdier square tubing than any others we have seen. It's very easy to put together and all the pre-drilled holes lined up perfectly. An Allen key is provided and is the only tool needed, though it is useful to have a spanner just to tweet some of the nuts.Altogether a very good product at a better than competitive price. Recommended.

Just what I wanted for our cottage garden...a simple but sturdy arch to link to pathways. Tried to find one in local garden centre but failed & a similar one was twice the price! It was easy to assemble & erect. Just the job. :)

Brilliant Arch. Easy straight forward construction. All parts included, all parts lined up. I am female and managed to assemble with only some help from a friend.Could not be happier. Would highly reccomend.

This has been the most expensive rose arch I have ever bought. My expectations were high from the reviews I read. In reality the engineering is a bit rough and I had to use grease to get the parts to fit together; that said to my surprise it pulled itself into shape once everything was attached and screwed-in. When I sunk it into the ground I realised that it was asymmetrical meaning that one side the bars were at different positions to the other side; it should be the same as illustrated in the customer pictures. However too late now but on the positive side the powder coating looks good and the overall affect it quite charming. Once climbers are planted the faults wont be that obvious, so overall pleased.Subsequently I contacted the seller and I was more than happy with the sellers response to the problem. The seller couldn't have been more helpful to resolve the issue. In spite of the imperfection the rose arch looks good, it feels sturdy and hopefully will last, so can recommend.

Arch assembles easily, but you will need something to anchor the arch into the ground. Instructions are minimal. Did not receive enough washers, but did receive extra bolts. Time will tell whether it will show signs of rust.
