Description
Introduce dramatic architectural height and vibrant, climbing foliage to your exterior spaces with the Rowlinson Marberry Obelisk Planter. As a standout feature piece within the premium Marberry Range, this robust wooden structure pairs a substantial, beautifully detailed base with a soaring, four-sided obelisk frame, culminating in a decorative wooden finial. Because the base section arrives fully preassembled, you can immediately begin planting and weaving your chosen climbers through the sturdy framework, creating a spectacular, living focal point for your garden or patio.
Despite its relatively compact footprint, this elegant vertical planter provides a highly practical growing environment, offering an approximate soil capacity of 38 Litres. The generously proportioned 500 x 500 mm base grants ample room for vigorous root systems to establish securely, which is essential for supporting the tall, upward growth of climbing varieties. To ensure optimal horticultural conditions, a custom-fitted fabric liner is included; this vital component retains the compost neatly within the wooden base whilst helping the root zone resist the detrimental effects of poor drainage.
Crafted meticulously from sustainably sourced timber that meets rigorous environmental guidelines, this imposing planter is a responsible addition to your landscaping. Prior to delivery, the wood undergoes a comprehensive pressure-treatment process, providing the structure with vital defence against insect infestations and helping the material resist weather-related deterioration throughout the British seasons. Arriving in a wonderfully natural timber finish, the smooth exterior provides a flawless canvas for customisation, permitting you to easily apply a coloured exterior stain or paint to seamlessly match your home's unique colour palette.

Make the Most of Your Planter
The soaring 1710 mm height of the Rowlinson Marberry Obelisk Planter makes it an unparalleled asset for drawing the eye upwards and adding vertical interest to flat, one-dimensional outdoor areas. Position it strategically in the centre of a flowerbed to act as a magnificent centrepiece, or place a matching pair on either side of a garden archway to frame an entrance with fragrant, climbing blooms. Its sturdy wooden framework is absolutely ideal for supporting vigorous climbers; consider entwining it with classic sweet peas, a highly scented honeysuckle, or a vibrant Clematis montana to create a spectacular pillar of colour.
To guarantee your climbing displays flourish year after year, take full advantage of the pre-assembled base and provided fabric liner by incorporating a generous layer of drainage crocks before pouring in your 38 Litres of premium potting mix. This crucial preparation significantly improves aeration around the roots, helping the potting medium resist becoming saturated during heavy winter downpours. By underplanting your chosen climber with a low-growing, trailing variety, such as delicate lobelia or trailing ivy, you can beautifully soften the edges of the base while ensuring the entire structure remains a captivating feature from the ground right up to the finial.

Planter Maintenance
The Rowlinson Marberry Obelisk Planter is made from pressure-treated timbers for excellent durability and longevity. Rowlinson’s pressure-treated products do not require annual re-treatment. If desired can be painted or stained. An anti-rot solution in the timber structure improves resistance to rot. The treatment may leave a greenish tinge on the wood; this is normal and will grey over time. The manufacturer advises that if you want to paint your planter with a different colour, ensure the treatment you choose is recommended for pressure-treated timber.
