John Pilkington - July 8, 2025 At Pilkington Woodworks, we believe that your home—and your outdoor space—should be a reflection of your values: timeless style, lasting quality, and attention to detail that never compromises. If you're the kind of homeowner who simply won’t settle for less, then let us introduce you to the Grande Sunburst Arbor—a structure that doesn’t just decorate your garden, but elevates it.
A Statement of Quality and Character
This isn’t just another arbor from a big box store. The Grande Sunburst Arbor is a bold, architectural centerpiece built for those who appreciate craftsmanship and crave a space that feels both peaceful and personal. Whether you're stepping outside with a warm cup of tea for a quiet moment of solitude or entertaining friends on a summer evening, this arbor sets the tone.
Quality, after all, is quiet. It doesn’t need to shout. It just feels right. It’s comfort. It’s security. And it’s enduring beauty—season after season.
Built to Outlast Trends—and the Elements
We’ve all seen it: flimsy arbors that look great in the aisle, but feel wobbly the moment they’re installed. With Pilkington Woodworks, that’s never a concern.
The Grande Sunburst Arbor is constructed using:
-
Custom-cut 2×6 horizontal rafters laid across a 2×8 structural carry beam
-
Greco-Roman inspired routed rafter ends, precision-cut for classical elegance
-
A continuous 2×2 canopy trim, all beveled at a 45° angle and perfectly aligned
-
4×4 pressure-treated support columns and base, built to resist rot and stand up to nature year after year
-
Square-pattern trellis grid sidewalls, ideal for catching climbing plants and adding floral texture
-
A signature sunburst detail, crowning the structure with architectural grace
-
Two coats of premium semi-gloss exterior paint, protecting your investment while adding a refined finish
Each arbor is custom-built to your specifications, allowing you to tailor the size and style to your space and your vision.
Crafted for Life Outdoors
The model shown here measures approximately 4 feet wide, 2 feet deep, and 8 feet tall—a perfect size to frame a garden entrance, accent a patio, or add structure to a landscape design. It's currently on display at Logan’s Garden Center at the State Farmers Market, where you can see the craftsmanship up close. Just ask for Mark—he’ll be happy to walk you through it.
Make It Yours
The Grande Sunburst Arbor is more than an outdoor accessory. It's an investment in the beauty and personality of your home. If you're ready to create a space that truly reflects your values—elegance, durability, and hand-crafted design—this is the piece you’ve been waiting for.
