I really appreciate the way this DIY timber frame arbor kit turned these steps into such and inviting walkway. A timber frame arbor is not only a beautiful and inviting focal point within a landscape but it also offers wonderful, welcome shade. When I see this timber frame arbor it looks so fun to decorate with its gorgeous arches, keystones and trellises. An arbor and/or trellis also lends itself for decorations for celebrating just about everything such as patriotic flags, red, white and blue colored outdoor streamers and memorabilia for the 4th of July of ornamented with branches of evergreens and festive red and green decor for the winter holidays. Nonetheless it is so lovely just the way it is. I really enjoy seeing it from every angle. Thanks for the pictures, Tyler.
