Good questions -- not enought info to work with it sounds like.
The porch is about 6 foot wide and 4 foot deep so that it creates a
little place to stand out of the rain beofre going in the door.
The arch istself would hang from the front part of the porch -- the
entrance would havet the arch at a 7 foot height then go 4 foot and
then finally in the door.
Mifey poo has a greenish color trim she want to use. The new arch
would be painted this greenish color to match the rest of the trim.
So no siding or stucko or bricking. Just paint.
The arch will be about 3 inches in depth total to give it a little
perspective when looking at it from relatively close. From the
street no one can tell how thick this is. I anticipate using layers
with a spacing (1.5inch) to create a sandwich effect.

Hope this helps with the needed info.

Yep.

Occasionally, in this very group, people have mentioned a sheet goods
material that is used to make outdoor signs. IIRC, is has a smooth,
bonded material (phenolic?) on the to be painted side. I'd seriously
consider using it, don't recall the name. If you don't mind the
rustic surface, T-111 could be used too.
