Wedding arch project

Here is the inspiration pic

That looks great! What materials did you use/where did you get them?

@stephanie I used 4x1x8ft pine planks from home depot. They are 2$ each and there are 12 of them. Each post is made of 4. It is a super cheap super soft and light wood not good for construction stuff but perfect for this project.

Very nice!

You did a good job

Good job!

Love it! Jealous of the wine barrel :o

Looks nice, shocked it was so cheap.

Thank you @ambrok thr barrel came from a local restaurant / brewery they used it for burbon and they sold it for 40$. They said they had used it a few times and they had to get new ones for the next batch.

Great job

I'm impressed!

Beautiful

Ours will be similar but arch more detail since my fiancé is going to make it. He's a carpenter

But your insp pic is somewhat like ours

I love it

Beautiful!!

@jessica b I haven't thought about the fabric yet figured some kind of translucent white material would work but it's not my area of expertise. Anyone have any suggestions that would help a lot. But I figured u would need about 8 yards because it's 7 feet tall and 8 feet across.

It looks great to me! You could get a sheer curtain for the fabric. I helped with my brother's wedding a few years ago, and we found a bunch of nice curtains at Goodwill and used those to tie bows around the chairs. I think you would be able to find something there long enough to do what you are wanting!

At a recent beach wedding, they had 2 posts standing in the ground. At the top of each was a loop of rope. The cross bar went through the two loops for easy assembly on site. No nails, bolts, or complicated knots!

What are the overall dimensions of it? My FIL has agreed to make one but we're still trying to commit to a size.

@magnoliamarie it is 7 feet high and the cross bar is 8 feet across. There's about 5 inches of over hang on each side of each of the posts. I measured a door frame before I started so I knew about what I wanted height wise.

Looks great !

Wow!
