Nothing beats the feeling that comes from sitting in the garden at the height of summer. With the sun beaming onto your skin, the birds chirping in the trees and the scent of flowers and freshly mown grass filling the air, there are few things that can instantly bring about such a sense of relaxation. Forest, the UK’s leading supplier of decorative garden timber products, has a whole range of arbours and gazebos, to bring a moment of pure bliss to UK gardens this summer.
With seven beautiful arbours to choose from Forest is spoiling us with choice. Designs vary, offering both sleek, contemporary and traditional styles, including lattice work, slated roofs and even a corner design.
Perfect for when space in the garden is at a premium is Forest’s Palermo Arbour (RRP £259.99 including home delivery). The smallest in the range, the Palermo can sit two people comfortably, and features decorative trellis side panels, perfect for teasing climbing plants such as Clematis, Honeysuckle, Jasmine and Roses.
Decorative side panels also feature on Forest’s Parisienne and Sienna Arbours (RRP £209.99 and £319.99 respectively), both of which would provide the perfect backdrop to summer blooms, over time blending beautifully into the backdrop of your garden to create a stunning hideaway.

For absolute privacy choose Forest’s Limoge Arbour (RRP £479.99 including home delivery). This fully enclosed arbour is made from smooth planed timber, providing full protection from the elements. Whilst all Forest arbours can be painted, the Limoge lends itself particularly well to the trend for colour in the garden. A palette of blue and white creates a seaside feel, whilst traditional greens and greys, evoke classical garden designs.
