Pot Spiral Obelisk

Yes, the rustic finish is designed to develop a natural patina when exposed to the elements. This oxidation process is intentional and adds to the obelisk's weathered, classic aesthetic.

For optimal stability, you should push the base spikes into the ground until the bottom ring of the obelisk rests firmly against the soil surface. In softer soil, you may want to push them slightly deeper to ensure the structure remains upright during high winds.

The solid mild steel construction is quite sturdy and capable of supporting most standard climbing flowers and vegetables. However, for exceptionally heavy or woody vines, ensure the ground is well-compacted to prevent the structure from leaning under the weight.

While it is designed for ground installation, it can be used in a very large, heavy-duty planter if the pot is deep enough to accommodate the base spikes and wide enough to provide a stable footprint. Ensure the pot is heavy enough to prevent tipping once the plant grows to the top of the 70-inch frame.

The Detroit Garden Works Spiral Obelisk arrives as a single, fully welded unit. There is no assembly required; simply place it in your desired location and press the base into the soil.
