Beginner Gardening: See my homemade (code word for cheap and practical) arbor, 1 by beardtongue

My cousin decided to enable my gardening addiction (I mean hobby) by making me this arbor out of rebar (sometimes called rerod). I had showed him a design in the Country Garden magazine from this summer and he took it from there. The one in the magazine was cut into pieces and then wired together. My cousin welded mine together which I think is better. The arbor is about 4 feet wide and 7 feet tall. And better yet, it was absolutely free! He got the rebar from his employer who had extra and was going to throw it away.

I know it is not the prettiest arbor ever made but it is very practical. I envision my morning glory vines growing all over it next summer. It will be a beauty then!
