They were using their artistic licence. But you'd think they'd try harder to get it right.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

Well there has been a slight design change, after we (my wife and I) battled to roll the steel my wife thought it will not look nice with the arches. Bash   Bash  
Further she said all these garden arches have a 'rounded top'. Well they would wouldn't they "garden ARCH" So I am waiting for the 'chief designer' to come up with a design  Thumbsup   Rotfl  .
