FAQs
How do I know which size support to buy?
Consider the mature size of your plant. For larger, more established plants like mature peonies or dahlias, the 'Large' size is recommended. For smaller or younger plants, a smaller size might be more appropriate.
Can these supports be used in pots?
Yes, they can be used in large, deep pots. Ensure the pot is stable and deep enough to accommodate the support's stakes firmly.
Do I need to remove them at the end of the season?
It is not strictly necessary to remove them, as they are durable and rust-resistant. However, removing them and storing them in a dry place can extend their lifespan.
Will the plastic coating chip or peel?
The plastic coating is designed to be durable for outdoor use. Significant chipping or peeling is unlikely under normal gardening conditions.
How many plants does one support typically cover?
Each 'Double Round' support is designed to encircle and support a single plant or a very close cluster of stems.
Are these suitable for vegetable plants?
Yes, they are excellent for supporting tall or sprawling vegetable plants like indeterminate tomatoes, peppers, or bushy beans, helping to keep them tidy and productive.
Troubleshooting
Support wobbles or feels unstable.
Ensure the support is pushed deep enough into the ground. If the ground is very hard, water the area beforehand. For very tall plants, consider using two supports spaced appropriately.
Plant is growing over the top of the support.
This indicates the support was placed too late in the growing season. For best results, install supports when plants are still small.
Rust spots appearing on the surface.
While designed to be rust-resistant, minor surface rust can occur over time. This usually does not affect structural integrity. For aesthetic concerns, a wire brush can gently remove superficial rust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up your Garden Gear Double Round Grow Through Grid Support, simply choose the desired location in your garden. Firmly push the legs of the support directly into the soil around the base of your plant. Ensure it is stable and deep enough to provide adequate support as the plant grows. It is best to install these supports early in the plant's growing season, allowing it to grow through the structure naturally.
Compatibility: These supports are most compatible with plants that benefit from above-ground structure and have multiple stems or grow tall and potentially floppy. Examples include peonies, dahlias, delphiniums, phlox, and even some larger herbaceous perennials. They are best suited for planting directly in the ground. While they can be used in large, deep containers, their stake design requires the container to be sufficiently deep and sturdy.
Care: The plastic-coated metal construction is designed for durability and minimal maintenance. To care for your supports, simply rinse them with water if they become dirty. At the end of the growing season, they can be left in place or carefully removed from the ground. Store them in a dry place during winter to further prolong their lifespan, though they are built to withstand outdoor conditions year-round.
