What Can I Do With This Obelisk?
The H Potter garden obelisk trellis can be displayed as a striking standalone accent or used in pairs to frame garden paths, entrances, or landscape features. Designed for outdoor use, its sturdy metal construction provides reliable vertical support while withstanding seasonal weather conditions year after year.
- Create “vertical yard art”: Train climbing roses and flowering vines upward for dramatic height and seasonal bloom.
- Add structure to large beds: Use as a focal point where the garden needs a strong anchor.
- Define space: Two obelisks can visually frame an entry, walkway, or transition between garden zones.
- Work in planters: Suitable for very large planters when properly supported and stable.
Recommended Climbing Plants
Obelisks are ideal for climbers because they provide a 3-dimensional framework—helping plants look fuller as they grow.
Flowering Favorites
- Climbing roses
- Clematis
- Jasmine
- Honeysuckle
- Sweet peas
Edibles & Vegetables
- Pole beans
- Peas
- Cucumbers
- Climbing tomato varieties
Training tip: Gently guide new growth toward the metal supports and secure with soft plant ties—vines naturally wrap as they mature.

Materials & Care
Materials: Heavy-duty iron construction designed for outdoor use.
Finish: Powder-coated charcoal brown with a hand-applied faux black finish and a high-grade clear coat protective sealer.
Care tip: If you’d like extra protection, apply a coat or two of clear spray paint annually. If small hairline cracks or scratches occur, touch up the area with a clear outdoor spray to help seal exposed metal.
- Anchoring: Use the included 18" ground spikes through the base holes for stability.
- Windy locations: Proper anchoring is essential. In very exposed sites, 18" spike anchoring and a firm base layer can improve stability.
- Assembly note: Use care during assembly to avoid marring the finish; touch up with clear spray paint if needed.
Product FAQs
What is a garden obelisk used for?

Popular choices include climbing roses, clematis, jasmine, honeysuckle, and sweet peas. Many customers also use obelisks to support pole beans, peas, cucumbers, and other climbers.
How do I anchor this obelisk securely?
Use the included 18" ground spikes and insert them through the holes in the base/feet. For softer soil, deeper placement and a firm base layer can improve stability.
Does this obelisk require assembly?
Yes—some assembly is required. Because this obelisk is over 70 pounds, we recommend two people for assembly and placement.
What is the finish and how do I protect it?
This obelisk features a charcoal brown powder coat with a hand-rubbed faux black finish and a protective clear coat. If scratches occur, touching up with a clear outdoor spray can help protect exposed areas.

solid no nonsense watch
Color: Black/Yellow
This watch has many key features I needed in an everyday watch.
- 5 separate alarms which you can set to a single day of week, weekend, weekday, or all week. useful for let's say trash day reminders or school day pickup reminders. The flexibility of the alarms is really key.
- 9 interval countdown timers (repeats when done)
- 1 countdown timer
- stopwatch100 lap (more than enough)
- indigo light, excellent nighttime illumination
- excellent water resistance and durability. i've had mine for nearly 2 years and it still looks sharp. some of the lettering on the front has rubbed off, but most still visible, colors hold well. and i've put mine thru all sorts of abuse over the years.
- large screen and digits for easy viewing at work. i have to record times at work so this was key. date and day of week is easily visible as well.
- good battery life. if you don't use light a lot but use alarms regularly can last easily between 1-2 years
- excellent price for about 30$
CONS:
- no vibration, but i don't really need this
- dual time zone... actually not ideal because you switch by pushing & holding the start/split button below the face. i accidentally seem to push and hold this button a lot thus it switches my timezone. i've gotten around this by just setting both times to be identical but a bit of a pain
- resin band is durable but as always the little moving strap part to tuck away extra band breaks after a while. I discovered a neat trick to use my daughter's small hairband tie folded over twice to secure the extra band now. durable and doesn't look bad (if you pick the right color).
- pain in the butt to change the battery (uses CR 2025 by the way). you have to remove both resin band parts first as it slightly overlaps the back case. then there are 4 tiny screws. once the bands are taken off it's pretty straight forward. make sure to align the thin rubber seal before you put the cover on. mine leaked water in after a change until I realized the seal was not sitting properly.
Overall, I've been thru smartwatches, fancy watches, solar watches, ... mainly many casio and timex watches. this is by far one of the most practical and best watches I have. I'll be curious to see what google/apple create in the smartwatch category of the years.

Great sports/fitness watch
Color: Black/Yellow
I will start my review with an admission:
I hate digital watches.
I think 7-segment numbers look ugly, and I prefer the ability to see the 'distance' between times visually that you get with an analog face.
But I needed the timer and lap counter for my job, and I have always wanted to do interval training to improve my speed and endurance while cycling. This watch had everything I needed and more. I was aware that Timex was a respected brand, and the T5E231 was the only watch in my price range with the ability to count 199 laps.
I have to say, though, that after a week of use, I actually love this watch. Not only does it meet my needs functionally, but it actually brings me pleasure to wear it and operate it. The yellow trim around the inside of the bezel clearly identifies it as a sport watch, yet it seems to fit in well in formal settings. The interface is incredibly user-friendly and satisfying to operate. I never thought I would refer to a watch's "interface", but this watch actually has one. Pressing most of the buttons results in actual text being displayed on the screen telling you what the button did, or what will happen if you hold that button down just a little longer. In most modes there are even little labels that appear on the screen by the buttons telling you what they do in that mode. Figuring out how to use almost all of the functions only required five minutes of random experimentation. The only thing I had to consult the manual about was how to switch the chronograph into lap counter mode. I just wish there instructions explaining how to fold the manual back into a size that fits inside the watch stand.
There are so many little touches that make it clear the designers at Timex really take pride in their work. Here are my favorites:
-When turning night mode on, the Indiglo lingers for another few seconds after releasing the button. But when turning it off, the light extinguishes immediately! It should, since if you are turning night mode off, it's probably daytime and you don't need the Indiglo anymore.
-Being able to scroll numbers backwards and forwards while setting times. On other watches it is so frustrating to 'miss' the number you want and have to press the button 60 more times.
-Little icons appear on the home screen letting you know if the timer, chronograph, or alarm is running in the background. Most watches only have an icon for the alarm.
-The speaker plays a different sound for the alarm and the timer, so you know which one is going off without looking at the screen. Also the Indiglo light flashes.
-The Indiglo system is clearly a masterwork of engineering. It looks evenly lit and is very easy to read, yet it doesn't illuminate anything other than the display (unlike the backlight on a phone, for example). This must save a lot of battery power, since lighting up other objects around the watch is a waste of electricity. Besides, you have your phone for that!
-In timer mode, you can see what time the timer was originally set for on another line below the countdown.
-The AM and PM appear in the same place on the display; there is just one little segment that lights up to turn the P into an A.
-Many of the buttons that perform an irreversible or potentially unwanted function (such as resetting the chrono or clearing workout data) require being held down for several seconds so you don't trigger them accidentally.
-The watch tells you how much memory is free for storing workouts.
There is only one problematic thing about this watch (and it may actually be a problematic thing about myself). In order to activate the FLIX system I am required to wrench my arm so hard I nearly dislocate it. It is painful, and takes way more effort than just pressing the Indiglo button. This doesn't bother me, because I didn't buy this watch with the intention to ever use FLIX, but it is somewhat frustrating that it is so hard to use. However, it is possible that my technique is flawed, and there is an easier movement that will activate it. But I don't really want to experiment; I like my arm in its current uninjured state.
In all, I am very satisfied with my purchase. I love everything it does, and the only 'negative' probably says more about me than it does about the watch. Considering my abhorrence of digital watches, I am surprised that I like this one so much. I don't plan to wear it any other time than while at work or working out, but for those times it is not only tolerable, but actually enjoyable.
I highly recommend this watch!
