Default Garden archway

I am attempting to build a garden archway and grow trumpet vine on it.I
have about eight foot to work with between two vines.
I have a problem with finding the right materials. I really am at a
loss for where to start.
Can anyone offer an idea?

If you have the tools and skills, I think redwood is hard to beat. Cut
thin, it can be bent into some very nice shapes. I do regularly apply a
clear oil finish to protect the wood, and for an archway I would suggest
some kind of rot-impervious foundation, as I don't like to let the wood
touch the ground.

On the other hand, some of the catalogues that flood my mailbox show
nice looking archways made, I think, of plastic or metal.
