FAQs

What are the dimensions of the different sizes?

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 the obelisks individually or only as a set?

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

What material are the obelisks made from?

They are constructed from sturdy steel. You can choose between a hard-wearing black plastic coating or raw steel that will naturally rust.

How do the internal support rings help my plants?

The four internal support rings provide graduated assistance as your plants grow taller, helping to keep them upright and well-supported throughout their life cycle.

Will the raw steel obelisks rust through quickly?

The raw steel is designed to develop a natural, attractive rust patina over time. This process enhances the aesthetic and does not compromise the structural integrity for typical garden use.

Are these suitable for very large or heavy plants?

They are best suited for climbing plants and vegetables. For extremely heavy plants, additional support might be beneficial.

How deep do the legs go into the ground?

The legs are designed to be pushed into the ground for anchorage. The depth will vary based on soil type, but aim for a secure fit, typically several inches.

Troubleshooting

Obelisk is wobbly after installation

Ensure the legs are pushed deeper into the soil. If the soil is very loose, consider adding rocks or using stakes for extra support around the legs.

Rust on black coated obelisk is appearing prematurely

Inspect the coating for any damage. Minor chips can be touched up with appropriate metal paint. If extensive, contact customer support.

Plant is not climbing the obelisk effectively

Gently guide the plant's tendrils or stems onto the obelisk and through the support rings. Ensure the plant is receiving adequate sunlight and water for healthy growth.

Raw steel obelisk is rusting too quickly

This is the intended behavior for raw steel. If a slower rust development is desired, consider applying a clear metal sealant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, handmade construction for longevity.
  • Provides excellent vertical support for a variety of climbing plants.
  • Adds a decorative and elegant focal point to any garden.
  • Easy to install and secure in the ground.
  • Available in different sizes to suit various planting needs and spaces.
  • Enhances garden aesthetics by creating vertical interest.

Cons

  • Raw steel option will develop a rust finish, which may not be desired by all users.
  • Assembly is not required, but the individual units can be heavy.
  • Limited colour options, primarily black or raw steel.
  • Not suitable for very heavy or dense plants without additional support.
  • Best suited for lighter climbing plants like beans, peas, or flowering vines.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up your Garden Pride Growing Obelisk, simply choose your desired location. Push the robust legs firmly into the ground to ensure secure anchorage. The depth will depend on your soil type; aim for stability.

Compatibility: These obelisks are compatible with a wide range of climbing plants, including flowering vines, vegetables like peas and beans, and smaller climbing roses. They are suitable for use in flowerbeds, borders, vegetable patches, or even large containers with sufficient depth for the legs.

Care:

  • Black Coated Obelisks: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Raw Steel Obelisks: These are designed to rust over time, which is part of their aesthetic appeal. No special care is needed; the natural patina provides protection. If you wish to slow down the rusting process, you could apply a clear metal sealant, but this is not required for functionality.
