Is this suitable for very vigorous climbing plants?

Troubleshooting
Arch feels unstable
Ensure the arch is placed on level ground and securely anchored. Consider using ground spikes or partial concrete footing for enhanced stability, especially in windy locations.
Wood is weathering unevenly
Apply a quality wood preservative or sealant annually. Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry before application. Reapply more frequently in harsh weather conditions.
