Why Do I Like the Providence?
The Dura Trel Pergola Style Arbor weighs under 35 lbs, yet is strong and sturdy enough to support growing vines and plants.
In addition, it only costs about $110. Yet, it can last more than 20 years with virtually no maintenance or repairs needed.
In other words, you can add lots of style and beauty to your garden or walkway without having to spend a lot of money.
The package comes with 16-inch steel stakes, so you can permanently secure it in your back or front yard.
Alternatively, this lightweight PVC vinyl structure is easy to move if you need to use it temporarily for a party, wedding or special event.
The White PVC Vinyl Comes with Several Advantages…
1. No Paint Needed Ever!
First of all, you never have to paint it. In fact, Dura Trel specifically recommends not painting it.
2. Stays Looking New
Second, the PVC cleans easily. Simply wash it off with a garden hose and wipe it clean. The plastic does not yellow as it ages. Plus, Dura-Trel provides a 20-year warranty that guarantees your trellis will never delaminate, crack, peel, fade or discolor.
3. Virtually No Maintenance
Third, you don’t have to worry about rust or rot as you would with metal or wood arbors. If you like low-maintenance structures, this pergola style arbor may be just what you’re looking for.
Why You May Not Want to Buy the Providence…
You’ve gotta like white. That’s your only option here. There are no other colors to choose from, and the manufacturer does not recommend painting the vinyl.
In addition, this bright white structure will not fit in a natural rustic setting like natural wood. And, if you want a trellis that will become invisible once covered with plants, you are better off going with a metal arbor.
How to Put Together the Dura Trel Arbor:
The Providence Arbor does require assembly. However, you don’t have to do much. All you need is a phillips head screwdriver. Essentially, you just screw the rails into place.
The pieces come pre-fabricated with holes already drilled, so you don’t need to do any drilling or cutting. Plus, you don’t need to buy any screws or other hardware – everything comes in the kit.
