This is most interesting but I can't do it here as the winters would destroy the pots. I always admire what people can do with terra cotta. I can't wait to see who else will do this.
ReplyDeleteThat is cool! I used to go to a nursery years ago in Pasadena. And they woud come up with the best ideas for garden follies. Thanks for sharing....Julian
ReplyDeleteHow very clever! I could not do this either due to winter temps. Frankly though I may think it is amazing I would not want to do it. Much easier ways to make an attractive arbor. Thanks for sharing an incredible idea Phillip. ;>)
ReplyDeleteYou would think that everything is already invented in the arbor world! How do people get such great ideas?
ReplyDeleteI love it! I hope someone else does try it and we can see how it looks. I wish I had the space for one.
ReplyDeleteCool, and it goes so well with his house.~~Dee
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun project~I love how creative people can be~gail
ReplyDeleteAn interesting arbor, but not for me! I think the clay pots wouldn't last, and then all that work for nothing. I do like how the green plants look with the pots.
ReplyDeleteWonder if it could be built without the center post? With the rebar & concrete, you'd think it could be.
