In this video I build a great looking garden arbor, using simple construction techniques and a little joinery. Its a project any level maker should be able to build.

You should be growing runner beans up it?
Beautiful John.
Great video as usual, I think I'll make one of these for my house. What type of wood did you use? Where I live in the States Pine is the most common, or Douglas fir.
Awesome job! I like how you do the metric / imperial dimensions. As a electrician here in Canada 🇨🇦 I am fluent in both. But there are so many people who cannot wrap their heads around the metric system, it's far easier to use than the imperial system.
Jesus, how can you say that timer is expensive. Those prices are about 60% of what it would cost in England.
Nice Arbour, will use this video when I build one.
Great project John, thanks for taking the time to share.
Thank you brother! I like how we can always count on a garden project or two from you each year. It seems that many YT’s are more and more chasing some mythical algorithm honey pot regarding topic, video length, project
vsskillvstipsvstool… I appreciate that you build what you want/need and with that comes the tools, skills, and tips. I personally prefer watching projects, I actually bypass videos on that are under say, 12 minutes (really can’t cover a project or skill in that time). So, yours are always right up the middle for me. It also seems to me that I genuinely want to ‘spend’ (time has value or it does not) watching a guy who still maintains a IRL trade. It would be awesome, I’m sure to just live in your shop (I know I think so), but your dedication to improving, learning, fitting your shop, and making content is coming from a natural drive to do those things. I’m sure the sponsor has helped and I think it’s near how it represents your trade well while being something a bunch of the ‘normal folk at home’ can benefit from. After all, I think most of your target audience is directly in sync with you: has a IRL trade/job, wants to spend time in the shop, and enjoys learning tools/skills while completing projects. Thanks again and keep driving brother.nice project
Looks sweet John👍🏻👍🏻
Another good one.
Hi John, Nice job, I watch most of your vids, so I thought I better drop you a line or two. I like your teaching , easy to follow and understand, so thanks for doing the vid's you do for the wood working community. From Bill in Australia.
I have learned directly from you on sharpening my jointer blades and bought a tormek setup even though it is all very expensive, still waiting on delivery of it though, been waiting two weeks. should be here soon I hope. thanks for all of your video's John, great to watch and learn from.
Cheap timber for today's dates. Priced up 4.8m 4*2 cls treated. 22.50 a length!! Robbing b#####rds
In the UK Wickes are selling C16 45×95 (nearest to 2×4), 4.8 metres at just over 22 euros.
👍👍👍

after that lovely build it is definitely time for beer.
What is the extra protection you use for the legs please
Great Job …….. Great video !!!!!
Fantastic work John very just built one myself last year.
Which tracksaw do you use please?
Very nice! I may attempt that for my back yard.
Really nice John. Always good to show how to back up in a project if necessary. Great project. Thank you!
Great work and a great teacher
Hi John just been looking at this vid again and as I retire tomorrow ( still going to do shifts when needed to help out lol) an arbour has been a major want for a while. As I said recently I am new to this woodworking malarkey because of you lol so my question is this. Mine will have to cover a curved set of 3 small steps to a lower level in the garden, so could this design be modified easily.
This video was amazingly helpful thankyou.🙌
Amazing piece of work John. Lovely job!!!
A friend of mine said that he thinks the 2 x 4 s in the ground may warp. Is he incorrect? I am planning to use your instructions to build an arbor.
Gonna give it a shot tomorrow wish me luck 🤞
Very cool project and great video that will help me build my trellis 😊. From what I learned if you cut pressure treated timber you need to apply copper solution to the cut area to preserve the longevity.
Love your accent!
This guy speaks funny
So wonderful
Sure…simple construction…because we all have wood working garages like you've got. Maybe try making this same structure with minimal tools?
Can you make one with just a hand saw and a jigsaw screws an a drill.? 😂 that’s all I have
How much all together for the timber? Want to work out if it’s cheaper to just buy one
What kinds of wood options?
MOST AWESOME
You're awesome, just built this today by following your video. Thank you
awesome job
It might be helpful for you to turn on the CC and read what the voice recognition thinks you are saying sometimes sug comes off as snow and fish shows up pretty often,whether it's voice recognition software of a live typist your accent leaves strange combinations.
