Hey friends, let's build a garden arbor! This simple build is a great weekend woodworking project for the spring or summer.
Stay tuned for the next video because I'll be sharing how I added fencing and gates around these to create an enclosed garden! This project turned out even better than I expected and I'm excited to be sharing it with you!
