Many people seem to be interested in herb spirals, and rightly so if done properly they need little maintenance and can keep you in herbs all year round.

Again, fixing is via stainless steel or brass screws. And that's it - pergola complete! Climbing plants such as honeysuckles or roses can be planted in prepared holes at the foot of the posts and trained to entwine themselves up the posts and along the structure, and in 3 or 4 years time, once they've had a chance to grow and the woodwork has mellowed with age, the effect will be complete. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>
