Arches fail at the haunch: that is where the rafter meets the post and where a decorative cut removes section. We specify a hidden steel bracket at the joint under decorative cuts, put a 10 mm rain gap under the seat board, and quote a maximum unsupported span per post size, so a 3 m arch with 70 mm posts is something we will decline to build, not something we will quietly ship and argue about later.
| Species / board | Where it wins | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| ACQ pine | Price, straightness, treatment uptake | Needs repainting on schedule; knots visible |
| Larch | Chemical-free premium for hospitality | Availability; movement in wide rafters |
| Thermally modified pine | Designer grey, no biocide | Pre-drill all fixings |
| Laminated GL-like beams (in-cluster) | Long clear spans, no sag | Verify species mix; price jumps 40 %+ |

Strength-graded members with certificates; DoP drafted for EU/UK.
Applied where the kit is a construction product; we state per SKU in writing.
Rafter and purlin schedule tuned to your market's snow load.
Shrink-wrapped bundles, hardware bags, exploded diagram, container liner.
Freestanding decorative arbours usually fall outside CE construction-product scope; pergolas intended to carry a roof load or a fixed covering may not. We classify per design and put the reasoning in the quotation, and supply EN 335 and retention documents either way.
The answers below are the ones we give on the phone. Anything missing, ask on WhatsApp.
Not in 90 mm solid pine, a 4 m clear span wants a 115 × 115 or laminated section plus deeper rafters, and the wind sail area on a slatted roof becomes the governing load. We will either add a mid-post, move to glued-laminated sections, or supply it as two modules. We would rather lose the line item than ship a sagging arch.
Ground contact is class 4 territory. Every arch ships with spikes or base plates so the timber never sits in soil, and the two lower end grains are end-sealed as standard. Customers who ignore the spikes and bury the post get exactly the failure you would expect, and we will say so on the insert.
Long rafters are the risk: we band them in pairs with stickers, keep bundles off the container floor line, and use a 0.15 mm liner. Damage claims on this SKU run below 0.5 % over 18 shipments since 2023.
50 kits for a modified span within our post-size logic; 100 kits if you change the geometry enough that we build a new jig (quoted at RFQ, credited at 300 kits).
