Our material

## Wrought iron , not coated steel

Many garden-centre obelisks are thin powder-coated steel, not solid wrought iron — a difference in sturdiness, not just price.

**Solid material** Holds a mature plant's weight without bending.

**Durable finish** Galvanising and powder coating, up to 2.5x the service life.

Made to order

Every obelisk is designed for your garden, not sold in one fixed size.

## What iron section, what rust protection

| Fact | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Square or flat bar | Uprights most often run 10 to 16mm across in square bar, scrollwork in flat bar 16 × 6mm to 20 × 8mm — reference points from traditional ironwork training (CAP Ferronnier), not a specification unique to this workshop. |
| Hot-dip galvanising | Standard EN ISO 1461: at least 70 microns of zinc on steel over 6mm. Lasts 25 to 30 years in an urban setting, sometimes over 50 in a rural one — up to 2.5x longer combined with powder coating, per one manufacturer. |

> General ironwork and galvanising reference points, not specifications guaranteed by this workshop — your obelisk's exact section and finish are confirmed in your quote.

For comparison

## What you'll find at a garden centre

 - **€18 – €29** — entry-level: an 80cm trellis stake (€18.50) or a 170cm scrolled column (€28.95), thin steel.
 - **€50 – €1,000+** — more elaborate models or assembled decorative sets, still steel, not solid wrought iron.
 - **€800 – €2,000+** — secondhand and antiques: an old wrought-iron obelisk, depending on age, size and condition.

## What people ask us most
      Can an obelisk carry an already-mature climbing rose?
Yes, provided the structure is sized for that weight from the design stage — worth mentioning at the quote stage, along with the plant's current age and size.
     Does an obelisk always need a climbing plant?
No — an obelisk also works as a standalone decorative piece, singly or in pairs, with no plant on it at all.
     What's the lead time between order and delivery?
Generally 4 to 6 weeks between confirming the quote and delivery, depending on the workshop's workload and the complexity of the model.
     What rust protection does an outdoor obelisk need?
Hot-dip galvanising (standard EN ISO 1461) is the reference protection for a steel piece that stays outdoors year-round; combined with powder coating, it generally lasts several decades before the first repaint, according to industry technical sheets.
     What's the difference between an old secondhand obelisk and a new piece?
An old obelisk has patina and history, but variable condition and no guarantee of sturdiness; a new made-to-order piece is sized for your actual use and its finish is guaranteed from delivery. On the secondhand market, an old piece most often trades between €800 and over €2,000.
