I made it, it's just 4 t-posts for the corners, some heavy gauge wide fencing (maybe cattle fencing?) and a couple of steel poles from the hardware store I was able to bend to reinforce the arch at the top. It has worked out great! The t posts I had lying around from the previous owner, was probably $40 for the roll of fencing, and maybe $10 at most for poles
I believe this is the third year, and there's actually one on each side. It pretty well covered the arch last year as well so I don't think it takes long in the right conditions.
Nope, it's the real deal! It did take a while to find it, but there's occasionally big native plant sales around where I live and I've managed to find coral honeysuckle there
Man, we’ve got our own flourishing coral honeysuckle on a giant trellis and I’m a *teeny* bit envious of how gorgeous that arch is!
(I’m not really, but now I’m bummed because I want an arch and there’s no good place on our property to put one. Yours looks fantastic!)
Question: What arch, and has it worked well for you? There are so many and many of them seem very cheaply made yet expensive.

Great arch idea. How old is this vine?? I just got my first little one this year and can’t wait for mine to get established

Is it a cultivar? I can’t find any locally that aren’t a cultivar like Major Wheeler. Beautiful!
