• Substantial 62 lb construction: Heavy-duty iron gives GAR641 the weight and presence expected from a large architectural garden structure.
• 90" tall: At 7' 6", this obelisk creates dramatic vertical height and gives vigorous climbing plants room to grow upward.
• 3-dimensional growing space: The tower design allows plants to grow and be trained around multiple sides rather than across a single flat surface.
• Secure ground anchoring: Included 12" ground spikes help anchor the freestanding structure into the soil.
• Decorative ironwork: Handcrafted details and stately finials give the obelisk architectural interest before plants fill in and after they become dormant.
• Signature H Potter finish: Charcoal brown powder coating with a hand-rubbed faux finish creates depth and a refined, aged appearance.
• Beautiful year-round: Use the obelisk with climbing plants during the growing season or enjoy its sculptural form as part of the landscape when plants are dormant.

A large garden obelisk provides both vertical plant support and architectural structure. GAR641 can become a centerpiece within the garden rather than disappearing completely behind the plants it supports.

• Create a garden focal point: Use the 90" height to draw the eye upward in a large flower bed, border or courtyard.
• Grow climbing roses vertically: Train rose canes around the tower to create a dramatic flowering garden feature.
• Support clematis and flowering vines: Give climbing plants a substantial framework for upward growth.
• Add height to a flat landscape: Introduce vertical structure among lower shrubs, perennials and flowering plants.
• Anchor a garden bed visually: Position the obelisk near the center or rear of a planting bed to establish a strong architectural element.
• Frame a garden entrance: Use two obelisks on opposite sides of a walkway, entrance or planting area for a symmetrical landscape design.
• Enjoy it without plants: Decorative ironwork and finials allow GAR641 to function as sculptural garden architecture throughout the year.

The substantial size and 3-dimensional shape of GAR641 make it especially useful for climbing plants that benefit from vertical training and room to spread around the structure.

Climbing roses can become large and heavy as they mature, making a substantial support especially important. GAR641 provides a tall iron framework that allows rose canes to be trained upward and around the structure.

Rather than allowing all growth to travel straight to the top, gently guide longer canes around different sides of the obelisk. Spreading the growth can create fuller coverage and help showcase flowers throughout more of the structure.

The charcoal brown finish visually settles into the landscape as foliage fills in, allowing flowers and greenery to become the focus while the iron structure continues to provide support underneath.

GAR641 is a large, heavy garden structure. At approximately 62 lbs, two people are recommended for assembly, positioning and installation.

Before installation, choose an area that provides enough room for the entire base. Although the upright legs are approximately 20" apart, the feet extend outward, so you should allow at least 23.5" for the complete outside footprint.

Once assembled, position the obelisk in the desired garden location and use the included 12" ground spikes to anchor the structure securely into firm soil.

Construction: GAR641 is constructed from heavy-duty iron and weighs approximately 62 lbs, providing a substantial framework for climbing plants and garden use.

Finish: The iron structure has a charcoal brown powder coating followed by a hand-rubbed faux finish that adds depth and character to the metalwork.

• Assembly: Use care during assembly to avoid unnecessary scratches or damage to the finish.
• Anchoring: Install the included 12" ground spikes securely into firm soil.
• Plant maintenance: Prune and train vigorous climbing plants as needed to distribute growth around the structure.
• Seasonal inspection: Check the obelisk and anchoring periodically, particularly after severe weather or landscape work.

How tall is the GAR641 Garden Obelisk?

GAR641 measures approximately 90" tall, or 7 feet 6 inches. The decorative upper portion and finials are included in the overall 90" height.

Why does the dimension image show both 20" and 23.5" at the bottom?

The two measurements refer to different parts of the base. The 20" measurement is approximately the distance between the upright legs. The feet extend beyond the legs, making the complete outside footprint approximately 23.5". Allow at least 23.5" of space when deciding where to install the obelisk.
