I finished construction on our backyard garden arch this afternoon, using zip ties to attach wood lattice to pvc pipe.
My calculations were off as I discovered that an arch is not simply half an oval. I reworked my design, but I still haven’t finished putting it in place between the two planter boxes. I tried, but the pvc became unstuck at the center joint when I bent it. Apparently, the final assembly bit is not a one-woman job. But it was nice to make such progress on a big project.
