FAQs
For all lovers of roses, you can train a few stems along the side of your obelisk using climbing wires, soft ties, or some jute twine to keep them upright. Simply tie-in as they grow to shape them around your obelisk. Once the stems have grown enough, you can cut off the wires or twine as your rose is established.
For clematis and climbing plants in general, our advice is to plant them first where you think they will make a statement in your garden, prop your obelisk on top and slightly off-centre your garden obelisk to avoid placing the obelisk in the middle of the plant. It will allow your clematis to gain support for the structure by trailing naturally to the side of your obelisk.
Installation depths vary but typically, we recommend 20 to 30cm into the ground for maximum strength. Please refer to the instructions provided with your obelisk for specific details.
The height of our obelisks range from 1.3m to 2.7m – ideal to support most climbing plants. However, depending on the garden obelisk design, the size and build will vary slightly. Please refer to the product description.
Obelisks are a staple of the cottage garden, and a stylish metal garden obelisk is useful either as a permanent feature with established planting such as a rose or a way to vary your display each year by placing it in a different position and growing annual climbers such as sweet peas – but more vigorous climbers could hide the structure you’re trying to display.
