Garden Mile® 2x Large 2m Metal Garden Obelisk Heavy Duty Strong Tubular Plant Cage For Roses Climbing Plant Support Structure Obelisks For Climbing Plants Garden Decoration

Good value. Great size. Bought the two pack for my new clematis to grow up around over the next few years. I went around all the bolts with a spanner once put together to make it nice and tight and they are sturdy now I've done that.

These obelisks are not exactly sturdy, but are good enough to get the job done. Assembly is simple and only a little fiddly, and the finished item is lightweight which is probably a good thing considering its size.The uprights don't stay in true so the balance isn't great, but I assume the idea is to root it in the ground which would solve the problem. They look fine from a distance, and will obviously look 100% better with a plant growing all over them.This is a decent item at a very good price. I anticipate it will perform well.

Love these obelisks, have a jasmine tree growing up the inside one and they're very sturdy and well made, they've withstood some strong winds up to now. Easy to put together and they look great

Order arrived well packed and on time. There is no way these obelisks should be described as "heavy duty" but, for the price, I wasn't expecting too much. I purchased 2 - one to use in a raised bed for runner beans and the other for the garden to grow annual climbers. For this they seem adequate but I would be wary of trying to grow anything heavier on them. I struggled a bit to assemble them as they seem to have a life of their own until fully assembled and nuts tightened! Unfortunately one of the hoop parts on one obelisk was bent out of true (warped) which made things even more difficult.Once fully assembled they seem fairly stable and the one placed in the raised bed (nice soft growing medium) is fine. However, the one for the garden was much more difficult to position. I have light, sandy soil without too many stones but even so I found it impossible to push the legs down far enough to give any stability without distorting the framework - I had to resort to hammering in a metal stake to make holes to place the legs in which worked reasonably well.To summarise I would say that, used in a raised bed or large pot and for light climbers, these do the job and they do look quite good once positioned.

I have spent some time researching a range of obelisks to use to support climbing plants. I looked at reviews and several were often discounted because of frailty or apparent poor quality and/or difficulty of assembly.Sturdiness: As you can see from my picture, mine (I have two) have been inserted into a plant pot that is slightly smaller than the circumference of the base. As result, the bottom legs bend in a little which makes the whole thing very solid. I don't see why the same would not be true if they are inserted into the ground.Quality: Not particularly strong metal rods but they are not supporting a wall! Perfectly adequate for the job and nicely coated in a black paint. I did not see any rust or missing paint anywhere. The fixing bolts and nuts may rust first and the same may happen to the obelisk over time, but for £9.99 each they can easily be replaced after maybe 5 to 10 years!Assembly: Yes it's a bit tricky and you MUST start from the bottom. Put all the nuts and bolts in finger tight first off all and tighten them up at the end. My wife and I (both pensioners!) had a bit of a giggle putting them together and, yes, the second one took maybe 15 minute whereas the first took a bit longer. From start to positioning in the pots in the garden took no more than an hour. The in box diagram is not totally clear but looking at the box you can see the horizontal "circles" fit OUTSIDE the vertical supports. If you put them inside I suspect the top crowning assembly would not fit very well.All in all we are well pleased and recommend them without reservation.

Good value (you get two for the price). Not particularly sturdy, and the flimsiness of the parts does mean that the assembled product might look a bit lopsided (at least, it did in our case!). Instructions aren't great, but a bit of common sense is all you really need to put it together: eg, not tightening all the nuts and bolts until you've got the whole thing assembled. Overall, though, a bargain at the price and we'll have got our money's worth if it lasts a few years.

Arrived on time was easy to assemble and install in the garden.

Well what can I say, this product was not the quality it was advertised as… the advert states“ MATERIAL - These Garden Decorations Are Made From Heavy Duty Black Powder Coated Steel Which Is Weather Resistant And Should Not Rust. Requires Self Assembly.”Simply not true, it’s very thin metal. The holes are machine punched badly so pole ends are bent so when you push the items together the paint comes off !! The circle areas are all different angles so they don’t sit level. Absolutely horrible looking product that looks cheap and tacky… as soon as I put one together I was utterly disappointed and started to look at return via amazon however I have to pay the return postage… so not worth sending back… they were suppose to enhance my garden, all they have done is filled my recycle bin ! I will look for a replacement of better of better quality - which won’t be hard ! - save your money !
