Consider the advantages of these structures:

• Resistance to external influences. Compared to a tree, the metal wins considerably, it can calmly survive temperature fluctuations at different times of the year, it is not afraid of moisture, scorching sun and the vital activity of insects.

• Strength. Despite its airiness, openwork intricacies and the thinnest elements of artistic forging, such an arbor is strong enough, because it is made of metal (neither wind nor mechanical damage is not terrible to it).

• Fire safety. Metal gazebos are not afraid of fire, so they are more preferable for placing the barbecue and stoves, cozy gatherings around the fire.

Despite a number of advantages, forged arbors have several disadvantages:

• Over time, the metal will rust. In order to prevent or correct this in time, it is enough to cover the arbor with special paint for metal products every two years. The special composition will prevent corrosion.

• Any metal when exposed to direct sunlight tends to overheat, due to which on a hot day, rest in such an arbor can become uncomfortable. To avoid this, it is enough to arrange a gazebo in the shade of trees.

Arbors can be classified for various reasons:

• According to the method of work, arbors can be made by cold or hot forging. The advantage of hot forging is the result - the elements of the product are obtained as smooth as possible, thin and openwork. The method of cold forging is cheaper.
