Dimensions & Specifications Specification Details Overall height 105" (8.75 ft) Widest base measurement 21.25" outer tab to outer tab Inner base dimensions 19.25" square Weight 39 lbs Material Heavy-duty iron Finish Black powder coat Ground anchoring Four 18" ground spikes included Assembly Assembly required; two people recommended SKU GAR712 Quantity One Clairmont garden obelisk Installation note: Because the Clairmont stands 105" tall and weighs approximately 39 lbs, we recommend two people for assembly and placement. Install all four included 18" ground spikes through the base tabs for secure anchoring in suitable soil. Secure Ground Anchoring — Four 18" Spikes Included The Clairmont's height makes secure installation especially important. Four 18-inch ground spikes are included and 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 additional weight and wind resistance. Consider your individual soil conditions, plant load, and exposure when selecting a permanent location. Before planting: Assemble, position, and securely anchor the Clairmont before planting permanent climbers around the base. This helps avoid disturbing established roots later. A Dramatic Vertical Element for the Garden At nearly nine feet tall, the Clairmont can change the scale of a garden without requiring a large footprint. The black framework provides strong vertical definition while allowing surrounding plants and flowers to remain the focus. Create a focal point: Position one Clairmont in a garden bed or border to draw the eye upward. Grow a rose tower: Train climbing roses around the framework to create a tall display of foliage and flowers. Frame an entrance: Place a pair on opposite sides of a pathway, gate, or garden entrance. Add depth to planting beds: Position the obelisk behind lower-growing plants to create layers of height and texture. Create repetition: Use multiple Clairmont obelisks throughout a larger landscape for visual rhythm and continuity. Add winter structure: The black iron framework remains an architectural feature when deciduous climbing plants are dormant. Climbing Plants for the Clairmont Obelisk The open three-dimensional framework provides multiple points for training climbing plants, helping foliage and flowers develop upward and around the structure rather than along a single flat plane. Flowering Climbers Climbing roses Clematis Honeysuckle Jasmine Other flowering vines suited to your growing zone Seasonal & Edible Climbers Sweet peas Morning glories Pole beans Peas Other ornamental or edible climbing plants Training tip: Guide young stems toward the iron framework and secure them gently with soft plant ties when needed. As plants mature, allow new growth to weave naturally around the structure. Classic Black Powder-Coated Finish The Clairmont's black powder-coated finish creates a clean, architectural silhouette against foliage, flowers, stone, brick, fencing, and other landscape materials. The dark framework provides definition while allowing colorful plants to take center stage. As vines mature, the iron structure can visually recede behind foliage and flowers while continuing to provide the support needed for vertical growth. During the dormant season, the tall black framework and decorative finial remain visible, giving the garden structure and height throughout the year. For gardeners who prefer a warmer finish, the Clairmont is also available in H Potter's signature charcoal brown powder-coated finish with hand-rubbed black detailing. Make a Statement With One — or Create Rhythm With Several One Clairmont can become a commanding vertical focal point. Used in pairs, the obelisks can frame a garden entrance, pathway, or important view. In larger landscapes, repeating the same tall form creates rhythm and helps visually connect separate planting areas. Each Clairmont is sold individually, giving you the flexibility to begin with one statement piece or build a larger garden composition.
