What is the finial choice of Wooden Obelisks?
We offer three finial choices on our bespoke bird tables which are the ball, acorn or unique.
What is a Unique Finial?
As well as offering the traditional Ball or Acorn final we also offer the choice of a unique finial.
Each unique finial is uniquely designed and handcrafted by our in-house carpenters using our top of the range lathes. No unique finial is exactly the same so if you choose a unique finial, our carpenters will choose a design based on their own design flare at the time.
Are Wooden Obelisks secured into the ground?
Due to the weight of the timber used to handcraft each of our bespoke wooden obelisks, securing down the wooden obelisks is not necessary.
What are the lead times on Wooden Obelisks?

What wood are the bespoke wooden obelisks made from?
Our bespoke Wooden Obelisks are handcrafted using a range of softwood and hardwood.
We ensure that all of our wood is treated for wood knots, undercoated in Farrow & Ball exterior primer undercoat followed by a minimum of three coats of Farrow & Ball exterior eggshell paint.
All of our timber is FSC Certified and hand-picked by our carpenters from our local timber merchants.

What size Wooden Obelisk would you recommend?
The size of the wooden obelisk depends on the climbing plant and the height you would like your climbing plants to grow.
For centrepiece displays, we would recommend a larger obelisk to allow the climbing plant to take full advantage of the obelisk height.
How are Wooden Obelisks made?
All of our Wooden Obelisks are uniquely handmade by our in house carpenters in our Lincolnshire workshop.
Each of our bespoke products is crafted using handpicked sustainably sourced FSC certified timber from our local timber merchants.
The timber is treated for wood knots and then painted in Farrow & Ball primer undercoat followed by a minimum of three coats of Farrow & Ball exterior eggshell paint of your choice.
How are Wooden Obelisks painted?
All of our bespoke garden products are individually hand-painted using the traditional wooden paintbrush. This begins by undercoating each product using an exterior primer undercoat.
Once dried, this is then followed by a minimum of three coats of Farrow & Ball Exterior eggshell paint in the selected range of colours.
Do you sell unpainted Wooden Obelisks?
At the moment we only sell fully painted bespoke Wooden Obelisks.
Do Wooden Obelisks require maintenance?

What are Wooden Obelisks?

Do I need to assemble the Wooden Obelisks?

The finial will have a double-ended screw to allow you to twist the finial by hand into place once the wooden obelisk is positioned.

I ordered two 6′ obelisks to give structure and height in a herbaceous border. I’m really delighted with them and found the company a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.

We took delivery of a 6ft Obelisk that we wanted for our newly landscaped back garden. Nigel and the team were so helpful and the quality of the obelisk is outstanding. We are going to place some climbing Roses up the obelisk. Thank you Robinson Garden!
