Review on Gardman R352 Black Garden Obelisk - 96" High For Elevated Garden Style by Mike Burnett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Assembly trick good for me

It’s a sturdy piece and 15” in diameter making it wider and longer than most Obelisk out there at this price point. Looks elegant when assembled but assembly and installation are not easy. Tip: 1. Don’t tighten all screws until the end 2. Use twist ties in areas where the screw appears to pop off and then tighten screws. I left the twist ties in place as it keeps the parts together along with the screws especially when winter comes along. 3. Diring installation use 24” rebar in ground and slide each leg over rebar. Makes entire Obelisk very stable 4. Use a level vertically and horizontally to align the obelisk and then hammer the rebars along each leg. 5. Finally I hammered a 3’ fence post along the 4 legs and again secured them together with industrial twist ties!All I have to do is paint the whole structure with Rustoleum black spray paint

Pros
  • 15.5" diameter x 96" High
Cons
  • The structure may create a potential hazard for pets or children if they climb on or interact with it
