A Covered Arbor Begins

All arbors begin uncovered. It’s a game of extreme patience. How can you have a covered arbor when the plants you start out with are as high as your knees? The answer is simple — wait it out.

Since ours will be a roof arbor, we must bring planter boxes and soil about 13 meters from the ground. And we need about 30 concrete planter boxes.

What are the benefits?

• The concrete roof will be cooled by the shade from the plants
• We will grow grapes and passion fruit that will also be harvested
• We will also grow roses in case a couple wants to get married 🙂
• Yoga classes / exercise workshops will be shaded
• A water misting system will also keep event participants cool
• Two loft rooms below the roof will require less air conditioning once the plants throw off sufficient shade
• Evening lights will offer an alternative setting from the rooftop bar
