The Poppy Forge Hampton 8ft Obelisk is for gardeners seeking a robust and characterful support for climbing plants like roses and clematis. Its key benefit is providing strong, durable structure that enhances garden aesthetics. A caveat is that the 'Bare Metal' finish will develop a natural rust patina over time. This obelisk is constructed from solid steel, featuring a tubular and flat bar design, and stands at 8 feet tall, including ground spikes for secure placement. It is available in a 'Ready to Rust' finish, offering a classic garden feature.

It is constructed from solid steel, utilizing both tubular and flat bar elements for strength.
This finish means the steel will naturally develop a protective and aesthetic rust patina over time when exposed to the elements. It does not require maintenance and is part of the product's intended appearance.
It is recommended to insert the ground spikes approximately 7 inches (170mm) into the ground for secure placement.
The total height is 8 feet (244cm), which includes the length of the ground spikes.
The 'Ready to Rust' finish is designed to rust. While you could apply a sealant to slow the process, this would alter the intended aesthetic. No special care is needed to maintain the rusting finish.
The obelisk comes ready for installation. The main structure is complete; you only need to position and secure it in the ground.
The primary color family is Black, referring to the steel's natural state before or during the rusting process.
Ensure the ground spikes are inserted to the recommended depth (approx. 7 inches / 170mm). If the ground is very soft, consider driving the spikes into a more compact base or adding additional support around the base.
Lightly water the area where spikes will be inserted. If ground is extremely hard, consider using a rubber mallet to gently tap the spikes in, or pre-digging a shallow hole for the spikes.
The 'Ready to Rust' finish is designed to patina. Ensure adequate spacing between the obelisk and light-colored surfaces. Consider placing a temporary barrier during heavy rain periods immediately after installation if staining is a concern.
