FAQs

What material are the plant supports made of?

They are made from strong, solid bare steel rods with robust welds.

Do I need to assemble these supports?

No, these plant supports come fully assembled and ready for immediate use.

How tall are the plant supports?

Each plant support measures 54cm in height.

What are the diameters of the rings?

The top ring has a diameter of 40cm, and the bottom ring has a diameter of 30cm.

Will the rust finish look the same on all supports?

The supports arrive pre-rusted, but the exact level of rusting may vary slightly from unit to unit, contributing to their unique rustic appearance.

Can these be left outside in the winter?

Yes, they are designed for outdoor use and can be left in the garden year-round. The steel will continue to weather naturally.

Are gloves necessary for handling?

It is recommended to wear gloves to prevent rust stains on your hands during handling and installation.

Troubleshooting

Support feels unstable after placement.

Ensure the legs are pushed deep enough into the soil. If the ground is very hard, lightly moisten the area before insertion. Consider using a rubber mallet gently to tap the top ring if needed.

Rust is staining hands or clothing.

Always wear gloves when handling the plant supports. If rust transfer occurs, wash affected areas promptly with soap and water. Most clothing stains can be treated with standard laundry methods for rust.

Plant is growing over the support.

For herbaceous plants, the support should be placed around the plant early in its growing season. As the plant grows, guide stems gently through the rings. If the plant is already large, carefully trim a few stems to allow placement, or consider a larger support.
