FAQs

What are the dimensions of the obelisks?

The obelisks come in three sizes: Small (106cm Tall x 19cm Diameter), Medium (140cm Tall x 24cm Diameter), and Large (168cm Tall x 29cm Diameter).

Can I buy them individually or only as a set?

They can be purchased individually or as a set of three.

What material are the black obelisks made from?

The black obelisks are constructed from sturdy steel coated in a hard-wearing black plastic.

Will the black coating chip or peel?

The coating is designed to be hard-wearing, but like any exterior finish, it can be susceptible to damage from impact or extreme weather over long periods.

How do the internal support rings help plants?

The four internal rings provide graduated support as the plant grows, guiding its development and preventing breakage by offering structure at different heights.

Can these be used in pots?

Yes, the larger sizes can be used in substantial pots, provided the pot is deep and stable enough to accommodate the obelisk legs and the weight of the mature plant.

How much weight can they support?

They are constructed from sturdy steel and are designed to support vigorous climbing plants. The exact weight capacity will depend on installation depth and soil stability.

Troubleshooting

Obelisk feels unstable after installation.

Ensure the legs are pushed deep enough into the ground. For very soft soil, consider adding additional support or using a larger obelisk size for better weight distribution.

Plants are not climbing effectively.

Gently guide young plant stems towards the obelisk legs or rings. Provide initial ties if necessary until the plant establishes its grip. Ensure adequate sunlight and water for plant growth.

Rust appearing on the black-coated obelisk.

This is unusual for the coated version. Inspect the coating for any chips or damage. Minor imperfections may be touched up with appropriate metal paint. If widespread, contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Handmade for superior quality and durability.
  • Provides excellent support for a variety of climbing plants.
  • Adds an elegant, vertical element to garden design.
  • Easy to install and secure in the ground.
  • Available in multiple sizes to suit different needs.

Cons

  • Raw steel version will naturally rust over time.
  • May be too large for very small, delicate planters.
  • Limited colour options for the black plastic-coated version.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up your obelisk, identify the desired location in your garden. Push the robust legs firmly into the ground to ensure stability. The depth will depend on soil type and plant height; aim for at least 15-20 cm for taller plants.

Compatibility: These obelisks are suitable for most climbing and trailing plants, including roses, clematis, jasmine, beans, peas, cucumbers, and tomatoes. They can be used in flowerbeds, borders, or larger containers.

Care: For the black plastic-coated obelisks, cleaning is simple. Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The raw steel variant is designed to develop a natural rust patina over time, which is part of its aesthetic. No specific care is needed for this rusting process; simply enjoy its evolving appearance.
