FAQs

Can I use these with metal poles?

Yes, as long as the metal tubing fits the 13mm or 16mm diameter specifications, it will work perfectly.

Are these balls suitable for heavy climbing plants?

They are designed to provide a stable frame, but ensure your bamboo canes are thick enough to support the weight of mature, fruit-bearing plants.

Do I need any tools to assemble the structures?

No, these are designed for hand assembly, making the construction process quick and simple.

Can these be left out in the winter?

Yes, they are made from durable, weather-resistant rubber and are designed to stay outdoors throughout the year.

What is the difference between the hole sizes?

The 16mm hole is designed for slightly thicker structural poles, while the five 13mm holes are ideal for standard garden bamboo canes.

Troubleshooting

Canes are difficult to insert into the holes.

In cold weather, the rubber may stiffen. Try warming the balls indoors or using a small amount of natural lubricant on the tips of the canes.

The structure feels wobbly or unstable.

Ensure that the canes are inserted fully into the ball and that the base of the canes are pushed deeply into the soil for proper anchorage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, weather-resistant rubber material
  • Highly flexible for custom garden shapes
  • Easy to assemble and disassemble for reuse
  • Compatible with common bamboo cane sizes

Cons

  • Requires specific cane or tubing diameters
  • May require extra balls for larger or more complex structures
  • Solid rubber can be stiff to insert canes into in very cold temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your structure, select bamboo canes or aluminium tubing that correspond to the 13mm or 16mm hole diameters. Simply push the end of the cane firmly into the desired hole until it feels secure. For added stability, ensure that canes are pushed deeply into the ball. Compatibility is best with standard garden canes; if the cane is slightly too tight, a small amount of vegetable oil can act as a lubricant for easier insertion. For care, these balls require minimal maintenance. If they become dirty, simply rinse them with water. While they are designed to be left outdoors, storing them in a cool, dry place during the off-season will help extend their lifespan even further.
