What customers say
Customers consistently praise the exceptional quality and robust design of the Obelisk Trellis. Reviewers frequently highlight the heavy duty materials and superior craftsmanship, noting that the trellis acts as a striking architectural element even when plants are dormant.

The trellis is seen as a permanent, beautiful fixture rather than a temporary garden accessory.
Know before you buy
No, the rusted finish is designed to be weather-resistant and requires no maintenance. The steel will naturally develop its patina over time, which actually helps protect the metal from further corrosion.
Yes, the four-prong anchor system is designed to be pushed directly into the soil. As long as your container is deep enough to accommodate the prongs and wide enough to support the base, it works perfectly for container gardening.
No, the Obelisk Trellis arrives fully assembled and ready to use. You simply need to position it in your garden bed and press the prongs into the ground.
The four-prong anchor system provides a secure, stable base for the structure. While it is lightweight enough to move easily, the prongs hold it firmly in place against wind and the weight of climbing plants.
Choose the 4' 6" model for smaller annual climbers or compact perennials, and the 6' 6" model for more vigorous growers like climbing roses, clematis, or pole beans that need more vertical space to thrive.
