I've seen polyvinylchloride (PVC) arbors in white and green being sold
as seasonal items at the discount hardware stores in recent years. A
quick search with the Yahoo! search engine found many Web sites offering
these items for sale.

Note, there are also solid steel rod arbors, unpainted/rusted and
painted, avaialble from many plant nurseries and hardware retailers for
similar  prices.
