Forest Hanbury Flat Top Wooden Garden Pergola Arch 6’10 x 1’8

Overview

The Forest Hanbury is a slim, flat-topped wooden garden arch built at 6ft 10in high by 1ft 8in wide, designed to frame a narrow path, side gate or gap in a hedge rather than a wide formal entrance. Its clean, flat-topped profile gives a tidier line than a traditional dome, while still offering climbing plants such as roses, honeysuckle or clematis an open frame to grow over. At under two feet wide, it is one of the narrowest arches in the range, a sensible choice for tighter plots where a wider arch would not fit.

Key Features

• Flat-topped timber design
• Narrow 1ft 8in width suited to tight paths and gaps
• Pressure-treated timber construction
• Open trellis sides for climbing plants
• Simple ground-fix assembly

Roof Types

This is a garden arch rather than an enclosed structure, so it has no roof in the usual sense. The flat-topped section runs across the top of the two uprights, forming an open frame rather than a weatherproof covering, and leaves the sides open on a trellis pattern so climbing stems have something to hold onto as they grow upward and across.

Dimensions

• Height: 6ft 10in
• Width: 1ft 8in
• Style: Flat top

Construction

Built from timber posts and a flat-topped trellis section, with open latticed sides that let light through while giving climbing plants a structure to train along. The narrow width keeps the footprint small, so it can be set tightly between borders without encroaching on the planting around it.

Treatment & Guarantee

The timber is pressure-treated before despatch, helping it resist rot and decay once it is set into a border or path edge and left outdoors through the year. This gives the Hanbury a solid working life as a permanent garden feature.

Doors & Windows / Security

As an open garden arch, this product has no doors, windows or locking mechanism of any kind. It is a decorative feature intended to frame a path or gateway, not a storage or security item.

Assembly Information

Supplied as a flat-pack kit with assembly instructions included. The narrow, lightweight design makes it one of the quickest arches in the range to put together, and it is typically fixed into the ground or secured with post supports depending on the base it is going into.

Delivery Information

Delivered flat-packed via a standard UK mainland delivery service. The components are light and compact, so one person can usually carry and position them ahead of assembly.

Optional Upgrades

If your path or entrance is wider, the Classic Flat Top arch offers the same flat-topped style at a larger scale, while ground spikes or post supports are worth adding if you are not fixing directly into an existing border or flower bed.
