(DH is a wonderful musician, golfer & bike racer, but he just isn't handy.) I ended up with a sturdy kit which DH & I put together. It is so great to look out in the garden & see something someone you love put (or helped put) together.

We had a backyard in Cailfornia that was bare as a football field when we moved in. I loved transforming it and the arbours really helped.
