• Dramatic vertical scale: At 8.75 feet tall, the Clairmont adds meaningful height and proportion to established gardens and larger planting beds.
• Three-dimensional climbing support: The iron framework gives climbing plants multiple surfaces to grow upward and around the structure.
• Substantial iron construction: At approximately 39 pounds, the Clairmont is designed as a lasting garden structure rather than a lightweight seasonal plant support.
• Secure ground anchoring: Four included 18" spikes pass through the tabs at the base to help secure the obelisk in soil.
• Architectural on its own: The tall silhouette and decorative finial provide visual interest even before climbing plants mature.
• Designed for repetition: Use one as a focal point or place multiple Clairmont obelisks throughout a landscape for rhythm and continuity.

A tall garden obelisk needs a secure foundation. The Clairmont includes four 18-inch ground spikes designed to pass through the tabs at the base and extend deeply into the soil.

Using all four spikes helps stabilize the structure as climbing plants mature and add weight and wind resistance to the framework. Always consider your individual soil conditions, plant load, and exposure when choosing placement.

The Clairmont combines an impressive 8.75-foot height with a relatively compact footprint, making it an effective way to introduce vertical architecture without taking over the surrounding garden bed.

• Create a garden focal point: Use one Clairmont to draw the eye upward within a large flower bed or border.
• Build a rose tower: Train climbing roses around the framework for a dramatic vertical display of foliage and flowers.
• Frame a pathway: Position two obelisks on opposite sides of a garden path or entrance.
• Add layers to the landscape: Place the tall structure behind lower plantings to create depth and varied height.
• Create visual rhythm: Repeat the Clairmont throughout a larger landscape to connect separate planting areas.
• Enjoy four-season architecture: When deciduous vines are dormant, the iron framework remains an attractive garden feature.

The open iron framework provides multiple points for training climbing plants while allowing foliage and flowers to grow around the structure and develop into a full vertical display.

The Clairmont features H Potter's signature charcoal brown powder-coated finish with hand-rubbed black detailing. The layered finish creates a warmer, more dimensional appearance than a flat solid color and complements foliage, flowers, stone, brick, wood, and other natural landscape materials.

As climbing plants mature, the darker framework settles naturally into the background while continuing to provide substantial support. During the dormant season, the decorative iron structure remains visible as an architectural element in the garden.

A single Clairmont creates a strong vertical focal point. Used in pairs, the obelisks can define an entrance or frame a pathway. In a larger landscape, repeating the same form creates rhythm and helps visually connect different garden areas.

The Clairmont is sold individually, giving you the flexibility to use one statement piece or build a larger garden composition over time.
