FAQs

What material is the obelisk made from?

The obelisk is made from solid steel.

What are the dimensions of the obelisk?

It measures L33 x W33 x H121.9 cm (13" x 13" x 48"). The height includes the ground spikes.

Is the obelisk suitable for outdoor use year-round?

Yes, the solid steel construction is designed for all-weather outdoor use.

How do I clean the obelisk?

Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can this obelisk be used for vegetables?

Does the obelisk come assembled?

Troubleshooting

Obelisk is wobbly after installation.

Ensure the spikes are fully inserted into the ground. If the ground is particularly soft, consider adding extra support around the base or using a larger container with soil for planting.

Black finish appears scratched.

For minor scratches, a touch-up paint suitable for metal may be used. For significant damage, consider a repaint with a durable outdoor metal paint.

Difficulty inserting spikes into hard ground.

Water the area thoroughly before attempting installation. If the ground remains too hard, you may need to gently use a rubber mallet or carefully dig a shallow starter hole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up your Poppy Forge Classic 4Ft Obelisk, identify the desired location in your garden. Ensure the ground is free of large stones or roots where the spikes will be inserted. Firmly push the integrated spikes into the soil to a depth that ensures stability. The obelisk is now ready to have plants trained up its structure.

Compatibility: This obelisk is compatible with most types of climbing plants, including annuals, perennials, and vegetables. It is best suited for gardens with soil that can accommodate the ground spikes. For very soft or loose soil, consider reinforcing the base.
