Smart Garden Faux Rattan Obelisk 1.5m - Chestnut

Smart Garden Faux Rattan Obelisk 1.5m - Chestnut is a decorative spiral plant support finished with a warm chestnut-brown faux rattan weave. Standing 1.5 metres tall once assembled, it gives climbing plants something attractive to scramble up while adding height, structure and a natural woven look to UK garden borders, beds and patio planters.

Ideal for sweet peas, runner beans, climbing French beans, clematis, ivy and other vigorous climbers, this decorative obelisk brings vertical interest without the formality of a traditional plant support. The slim 35cm footprint tucks neatly into mixed borders, cottage-garden beds, kitchen gardens and large patio containers.

Made by Smart Garden, the Faux Rattan Obelisk is built around a strong wire frame wrapped in a hard-wearing rattan-effect sleeve. The chestnut finish suits natural and traditional planting schemes, and the weather-resistant construction is designed for permanent outdoor placement through the UK gardening year.

Assembly & Use

• Unpack: Lay out the obelisk sections, ground spikes and fixings on a flat surface before you start.
• Assemble the frame: Slot the four sides together at the top to form the obelisk, and fix the ground spikes to the base of each leg using the supplied fixings.
• Position in the ground: Push the four ground spikes firmly into soft soil in the chosen border, bed or patio planter.
• Plant and train: Plant a climber at the base and tie in the first stems with soft garden twine. Continue to tie in new growth as the plant climbs the spiral frame.
