Product Information
Full details
The Garden Pride Wigwam Obelisk is for gardeners seeking a classic, stylish, and practical way to support climbing plants or add vertical interest to their garden beds. Its key benefit is providing sturdy, long-lasting support while enhancing garden aesthetics. A potential consideration is that the raw steel variant will develop a natural rust patina over time, which may not suit all garden styles.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of the Wigwam Obelisk?
The obelisk measures 122cm in height and has a diameter of 40cm.
What is the difference between the black and raw steel options?
The black option is plastic-coated for a sleek finish. The raw steel option is uncoated and will develop a natural rust patina over time, giving it a rustic appearance.
Can I use this obelisk indoors?
The obelisk is designed for outdoor garden use. While it can be placed on a patio, its anchoring legs are intended for soil.
How deep do the legs go into the ground?
The length of the legs intended for insertion is not specified, but they are designed to be pushed into the ground for firm anchoring.
Will the raw steel obelisk damage plants with rust?
The rust that forms on the raw steel obelisk is typically stable and should not harm plants. It's a natural process that integrates the obelisk with its surroundings.
Is assembly required?
No, this obelisk is a one-solid-piece garden feature and does not require assembly.
Troubleshooting
Obelisk is unstable after setup.
Ensure all five legs are pushed firmly and evenly into the ground. Check for very uneven or rocky terrain that might prevent proper anchoring. If necessary, reposition slightly to find firmer ground.
Plants are not climbing well.
Gently guide young plant stems onto the obelisk structure. Ensure the plant is receiving adequate sunlight, water, and nutrients for healthy growth.
Rust is appearing on the black-coated obelisk.
This is unlikely for the plastic-coated version. If small rust spots appear, they may be from external sources. Contact customer support if significant coating failure is suspected.
