Build Rosenbogen yourself
Rosebows made of wood or metal are available in all DIY stores or garden stores. With a little manual skill, you can build such structures structuring your garden yourself - in the dimensions you want. So a self-made rose arch is much cheaper to purchase than purchased specimens. However, if you want to work with wood, it is important to make it weatherproof, for example by using wood that has already been worked and is suitable for outdoor use, or by applying appropriate paint. Otherwise, the self-built construction should be replaced after a few years. Good is also particularly robust thermo wood.
Simple construction of bamboo poles or roundwoods
This very simple construction should be successful even for artisans who do not have much experience in DIY. For this you need four to six - depending on the desired width - stable and two-meter-high logs or thin tree trunks / straight branches. These join with other round woods in the desired length, which are fastened by means of wood screws, metal angles or cross struts. It should be a rectangle or square, depending on the desired shape, arise. For added stability attached crossbars, while on the side parts self-made lattice made of thin bamboo poles are screwed.
Construction with four squared timbers
This rose arch consists of four stable squared timbers, which are connected with the help of two transverse strips. These crossbars are obtained by a connection with at least five crossbars stability, while the space between the square timbers is filled with a self-made Holzspalier.
Wooden construction with wire mesh
Also quite simple is this rose bow made of wood and wire mesh, for which you simply anchor four squared timbers in the ground and connect each two with a cross brace to stabilize. The actual arch, which connects the two frameworks, consists of a pas tailored wire mesh. Additional wire mesh is placed in the space between the posts and serves as a climbing aid for the roses.
Ideas for rosebows made of metal
Durable as the natural material wood are rosebows made of metal, which you can even galvanize the expert. Very simple constructions consist of long irons, which you can bend or even bend in the desired shape and then simply anchor in the ground. Between the individual struts, you can use wire mesh as a climbing aid or just stretch wires.
Anchoring rosebows in the earth
No matter which rose arch you choose, the stable attachment by anchoring in the ground is extremely important. Otherwise, the entire construction, including the roses, could be knocked over during the next storm. To do this, concretes the pillars - either directly in the ground or in large planters - or put up the pillars in large wire baskets filled with stones.
Tips
You can also broaden the rose arch to create a kind of arbor or pergola. Underneath, wonderful seating areas can be set up, where you can sit under beautiful blooming roses in summer.
