The Artemis arbour features a tongue and groove bench style seat and tongue and groove roof to protect you from direct sunlight. The sides are open to allow an unobstructed view of your garden, but the rear wall has some diamond trellis giving a little protection and possibly allowing you to train climbing plants. If placed next to a tree or bush, then you may need to cut it back from time to time, or it will obstruct your seat. The Artemis Arbour is made from pressure-treated timber and should need no further treatment. If you do not like the natural colour or just want to add a splash of colour, then any exterior-grade wood treatment or preservative will be fine. It is a free-standing structure but can be placed against a wall or fence if you wish and can be secured to the ground using fence post spikes or post shoes (not supplied). Comes complete with full instructions and fixings needed to install. It is essential that the seat is placed on a level base. Nominal model sizes are based on the roof dimensions. Please refer to the exact measurements for the precise building dimensions.
