What Can I Do With This Obelisk?

-
Define space: Two obelisks can visually frame an entry, walkway, or transition between garden zones.

Materials & Care
Materials: Heavy-duty iron construction designed for outdoor use.
Finish: Powder-coated charcoal brown with a hand-applied faux black finish and a high-grade clear coat protective sealer.
Care tip: If you’d like extra protection, apply a coat or two of clear spray paint annually. If small hairline cracks or scratches occur, touch up the area with a clear outdoor spray to help seal exposed metal.
-
Anchoring: Use the included 18" ground spikes through the base holes for stability.
-
Windy locations: Proper anchoring is essential. In very exposed sites, 18" spike anchoring and a firm base layer can improve stability.
