    I know this is a meme /c, but for real, I bought this exact same product a while back. If this is your photo, just be careful about what you put on it. Mine lasted 2 months with a grape vine on it before it collapsed.

    I can't think of a more appropriate time for

    Mine lasted a year with grape vine before catastrophic structural collapse.

    I’m really not sure how much of this thread is a joke. Wouldn’t you just use solid slats of wood?

    Lol. The wife wanted something decorative and liked how it looked. Caveat Emptor, and all that I suppose. I knew I was buying from a less-than-quality source

    Too many points of failure too. A solid arch or a lattice would've worked better.

    Oh for sure. I wanted to make sure OP didn't repeat my mistake

    One definitely should use solid structures, metal or wooden. The damned thing cost ~10$ and I didn't have time to build a proper support structure at the moment. I meant to use it only as a temporary solution, which I forgot when everything was fine.

    The design of the arch itself wasn't the problem. The interconnecting pipes were only 1-2mm thick, so there was no way it could possibly support the weight of a flourishing grape vine.

    It was marketed as a "rose arch". I guess it could've handled this purpose without any problems.

    Buy wrong stuff, suffer the consequences.

    Just wanted to say we have one in our yard that has been there for almost 20-years. Previous owner left it to rot. I moved it close to some wild hops and they are covering it completely after two years. Still standing!

    Ha, great tip. I'll keep an eye on it
