Make a painters' ladder garden arbour in minutes! Fast, easy

This project may be too simple to even blog about, but… you can build a painters’ ladder garden arbour… in minutes! Yesterday I was continuing my big weed fest in the backyard and had all this apparatus (the usual… sawhorses, pallets.. doesn’t everyone?!)

Desperately needing a break from pulling weeds in the hot sun, my eyes wandered to the gate.

I’ve never loved the look of a chain link fence much, and had some ideas on how I could jazz it up.

The little park out back offers such a pretty view I didn’t wish to block. I had all these fancy schmancy thoughts of cementing in the posts, cutting some of the ladder to create a square shape, etc etc.

… well, I had a full-out painters’ ladder garden arbour without doing a thing extra! Then stand back and appreciate just how easy it was to build a painters’ ladder garden arbour!
