FAQs

What material are the supports made from?

The supports are made from steel.

What does 'Bare Metal/Ready to Rust' mean?

It means the supports are supplied without any coating or finish and are intended to develop a natural rust patina when exposed to the weather.

What are the dimensions of each support?

Each support measures approximately 40.6 cm in diameter (16 inches) and 81.3 cm in height (32 inches).

How many supports are in a pack?

Each pack contains 5 simple circle supports.

Can I prevent the supports from rusting?

The supports are designed to rust naturally. While you could attempt to seal or paint them, this would alter their intended appearance and may require ongoing maintenance.

Are these suitable for indoor use?

These are primarily designed for outdoor garden use. While they could be used indoors, they will rust and may stain surfaces.

What type of plants are these best suited for?

They are ideal for supporting climbing plants, such as beans or clematis, and mid-height perennials like peonies or phlox.

Troubleshooting

Support is wobbly

Ensure the legs are pushed firmly and deeply enough into the soil. For very soft ground, consider adding extra support or using them in conjunction with other stakes.

Rust is uneven or spreading too quickly

This is a natural characteristic of bare metal. If you prefer a more uniform look, you can try to gently brush away loose rust and apply a metal sealant, though this is not the intended use.

Plant is outgrowing the support

These supports are best for initial shaping and medium-height growth. For very large or fast-growing plants, you may need to add additional or larger supports as the plant matures.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable steel construction ensures longevity.
  • Minimalist design blends well with most garden aesthetics.
  • Supplied bare metal, allowing for a natural rust finish.
  • Pack of 5 offers good value and multiple application possibilities.
  • Generous size suitable for a range of climbing plants and perennials.

Cons

  • Bare metal finish will rust over time, which may not be desired by all users.
  • Requires assembly or insertion into the ground for stability.
  • Does not include decorative elements, focusing purely on function.
  • Dimensions may be too large for very small gardens or delicate plants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the supports, simply place them around the base of your plant and push the legs firmly into the soil to ensure stability. For taller plants, you may wish to insert them deeper into the ground. As the product is supplied in bare metal, ensure it is placed in its intended outdoor location as it will begin to rust upon exposure to the elements.

Compatibility: These supports are compatible with a wide range of garden plants, particularly climbing varieties, perennials, and vegetables that require staking or support. They are suitable for use in soil or large planters.

Care: No specific care is required. The bare metal is designed to weather and rust naturally. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface if you wish to maintain the rust patina. If you want to slow down the rusting process or maintain a different look, you would need to apply a sealant or paint, but this is not the intended use.
