Forming the frames

Cut two half posts to the height and two to the width required. Glue & screw one of the horizontals to the top of each vertical post and another approx 100mm/150mm up from the bottom, forming the first rectangular frame.

The trellis work

Cut two lengths of roof battens to the length of the vertical half posts and screw on edge to the centre of the flat surface of each half post, as shown. Cut battens to go between the posts, forming diamond shapes. Glue & screw to the batten on edge, alternating from one side to the other.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 to make the other side of the frame.

Forming the arch

Cut a piece of 22mm x 150mm timber to the length of the horizontal half posts that have been fixed to the tops of the rectangular panels (the wallplate) to make a ridgeboard. Cut 4 short pieces of half posts with a 30-45 degree angle (depending on what pitch you want the roof to be). Glue & screw battens, on edge as before, to the half posts forming the roof. Screw the ends of the half posts to the ridgeboard.

Topping off the arch

Create the diamond shaped trellis patterns using battens as before. Finally, glue & screw the roof to the side panels through the wallplate to complete the rose arch. To add a little more decoration make a small fascia to fit under the ridgeboard. This can be shaped as desired and made from a piece of 22mm x 150mm spruce. Glue & screw to the front batten of the roof construction.
