Ensure the base spikes are fully inserted into the soil. If on a hard surface, check for levelness and stability. Consider using additional weights or securing mechanisms if necessary.
Paint appears to be chipping
Inspect the area for damage. Minor chips can often be touched up with appropriate outdoor metal paint. For significant damage, contact the manufacturer for advice.
Plant is not climbing the obelisk
