Product Information

Full details

The Paris Cloche Plant Support by Poppy Forge is designed for gardeners looking to provide structural integrity and aesthetic charm to their climbing plants or shrubs. Crafted from robust 6mm solid steel, this support offers excellent durability and weight-bearing capacity for various garden heights. While its substantial construction ensures it remains stable in wind, the stationary nature of the cloche means it is best suited for established garden beds rather than modular containers.

FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the Paris Cloche?

The support measures 43.2 cm in length, 43.2 cm in width, and 72.4 cm in height.

Does the green finish chip easily?

The green finish is a durable powder coating designed for garden use, but should be handled with care when pushing into rocky or hard soil to prevent deep scratches.

Can this support be used in a pot?

It is best suited for in-ground use, but it can be used in very large, deep containers provided the pot can accommodate a 432mm base width.

What is the benefit of the uncoated version?

The uncoated steel develops a natural rustic finish over time, which many gardeners prefer for a 'cottage garden' or 'shabby chic' aesthetic.

Is assembly required?

The product arrives as a single, welded unit and requires no assembly beyond placing it into the garden bed.

Troubleshooting

Support is wobbling in the soil

Dig slightly deeper and pack the soil tightly around the base legs or use a stone to wedge the legs in place.

Uncoated version is rusting onto nearby paving

Place the support in a dedicated soil patch away from porous surfaces or treat the feet with a non-porous sealant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality 6mm solid steel construction
  • Choice of aesthetic finishes (Green or Natural Rust)
  • Wide 17-inch diameter supports larger plant clusters
  • Sturdy design resistant to heavy winds
  • Minimalist design complements most garden styles

Cons

  • Not collapsible for off-season storage
  • Requires manual insertion into ground
  • Uncoated version will stain patio surfaces if placed directly on them

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the soil is slightly moist to allow for easier insertion of the base legs. Press the support firmly into the ground until it is level; for softer soil, you may need to use a mallet, ensuring you hit the base rather than the decorative top. Regarding compatibility, this support is best suited for garden soil or large, deep raised beds. For care, if you have selected the green coated version, wipe occasionally with a damp cloth to remove grit or debris. If using the uncoated version, the rusting process is intentional; however, if you wish to slow the process, you may apply a clear coat lacquer annually.
