The Arch Pergola is formed from four pyramidal units bent into an arc and propped by two internal V-shaped supports.

This space frame trellis is a hybrid between an arch and a pergola.

It is formed from four pyramidal units bent into an arc and propped by two internal V-shaped supports.

The structure works like a three-hinge arch, which makes it not susceptible to differential settlements of the foundation – pegs in this case.

The space frame trellis is almost invisible amongst the branches of the plants.

The dynamic and minimal space frame trellis is accentuated by the snow.

The universal connector, using off the peg materials.
