Troubleshooting
Plant support appears unstable
Ensure the legs are inserted firmly and deeply into the soil. For larger plants or windy conditions, consider using a larger bow or linking multiple bows for added stability.
Bows are difficult to link
Check that the hooks are aligned correctly. If there is significant rust buildup hindering the connection, gently clean the hooks with a wire brush.
The rust is too aggressive for my aesthetic
While the rust is a natural characteristic, you can slow its development slightly by storing the supports in a dry place when not in use. However, they are designed to rust and integrate into the garden.
