FAQs
For all lovers of roses, you can train a few stems along the side of your obelisk using climbing wires, soft ties, or some jute twine to keep them upright. Simply tie-in as they grow to shape them around your obelisk. Once the stems have grown enough, you can cut off the wires or twine as your rose is established.
Installation depths vary but typically, we recommend 8 to 11in into the ground for maximum strength. Please refer to the instructions provided with your obelisk for specific details.
The height of our obelisks range from 6ft to 9ft – ideal to support most climbing plants. However, depending on the garden obelisk design, the size and build will vary slightly. Please refer to the product description.
Obelisks are a staple of the cottage garden, and a stylish metal garden obelisk is useful either as a permanent feature with established planting such as a rose or a way to vary your display each year by placing it in a different position and growing annual climbers such as sweet peas – but more vigorous climbers could hide the structure you’re trying to display.
Depending on the type of plants you are growing, you will need to select the best shape and size support for the job. Based on the shape of our metal support and how your plant will bloom, you can easily match them to provide the right support. For example, to support your peonies choose a fluted metal support, or to contain sedum choose our elegance round plant support.
As tall perennial plants grow, they often need supports to stop the weight of the stems from leaning over and breaking. We recommend you use tower tall plant supports or plant stakes to prevent them from drooping.
Simply add your plant support at any stage of your plant growth by inserting our metallic supports 11in deep in the ground.
Stick your plant support about 2 to 3 inches away from the plant's stem into the ground – to avoid damaging the roots. Remember to plant your support at an angle to offer additional support to the plant against any strong winds.
