Full details
The Shire Fern Nook 2 Seater Arbour is ideal for homeowners looking to create a cozy, sheltered seating area in their garden. Crafted from high-grade, FSC-approved pine, it offers a robust space for two people to relax, with the added utility of a built-in drink holder. While the arbour features pressure-treated wood for durability, it arrives in a natural clear finish, meaning you will need to apply your own paint or stain to achieve a specific aesthetic or provide additional weather sealing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly: The arbour is supplied with a comprehensive fixing kit and detailed assembly instructions. It is recommended that two people perform the assembly due to the size and weight of the wooden components.
Maintenance: Although the timber is pressure-treated, regular maintenance is required to keep the wood in optimal condition. Apply a high-quality exterior wood preservative or paint every 1–2 years. This not only keeps the unit looking fresh but also adds an extra layer of defense against the elements.
Site Prep: Before assembly, ensure you have chosen a flat, level site. If placing on grass, consider using concrete slabs under the base to prevent moisture absorption from the ground, which will prolong the life of the wood.
