What I'm looking for is like a mini height fence-usually 20-30cm high & sold in approx 1.2m lengths for supporting plants at the front of a border or just for a decorative edging to the border. Prices on line also vary according to how decorative they are.

ow i see most interesting pixie

Hallo - Sorry I'm a bit late telling you about my experience - I bought a willow obelisk locally - being Somerset, the willow was locally grown.

I was very disappointed because it didn't withstand the wind, even though I staked it quite firmly. It only lasted one season, and then it disintegrated. The lady who makes them, and other plant supports (like the ones you're after) said that this was normal. :-(((

bamboo is the stuff wood always rots

Thanks all of you for your comments. I do understand that some wood doesn't last too long being out in all weathers-the best idea would prob be to take it in during the winter months & as mine would be to support perennials for a short period I could do that(if I remembered!). I've actually found some bits from an old fence panel which is fine as a temporary support so I'll see how that goes! As long as it gets me thru the next 3 or 4 weeks I'm happy. Thanks again,

ok
