ARBOR & TRELLIS INSTALLATION IN OREGON & WASHINGTON
Rick’s Custom Fencing & Decking installs arbor and trellis structures for homeowners across Oregon & Washington. These features create defined entry points within outdoor spaces, whether they are integrated into a fence line or installed as standalone elements within the yard.
Arbors and trellises are often selected when the goal is to create a more intentional transition between areas of the landscape. Some designs include a gate opening, while others function as open entryways that frame pathways, garden entrances, or backyard walkways.
These structures are commonly used to highlight entry points, guide movement through outdoor spaces, and add visual interest to landscaped areas.

What Makes Arbor & Trellis Structures Different
Arbor and trellis features combine structure and design to create more defined transitions within an outdoor living area.
Defined Entry Features
Arbors and trellises help mark transitions between spaces, such as from a yard into a garden or along a pathway.
Optional Gate Integration
These structures can include a gate for controlled access or remain open to create a more inviting passage between areas.
Overhead Architectural Structure
Vertical posts and overhead framing create a sense of enclosure without fully blocking light or airflow.
Supports Landscaping Elements
Trellis sections can support climbing plants or vines, allowing the structure to become part of the surrounding landscape.
Arbor & Trellis Design Considerations
Several factors influence how an arbor or trellis fits into an outdoor space:
Gate or Open Entry Design
Some installations include a gate for added privacy or access control, while others remain open to define a pathway or transition.
Size and Layout
The dimensions of the structure are typically based on the width of the pathway or the surrounding landscape features.
Placement Within the Landscape
Arbors and trellises are often positioned to align with walkways, garden beds, or transitions between outdoor spaces.
Integration With Plantings
These structures are commonly used alongside climbing plants or decorative landscaping elements.
Planning Arbor & Trellis Installation
Planning an arbor or trellis structure starts with reviewing the layout of the yard and identifying where a defined entry or transition would improve the space, so it feels like a natural part of the outdoor environment. Rick’s works with homeowners to review:
- Location within the yard or fence line
- Width of the pathway or entry point
- Whether the structure will include a gate
- Structural support for posts
- Integration with surrounding landscaping
