Push the bamboo canes down into the soil a little, just enough for the structure to anchor to the ground, this will reduce the risk of the whole thing blowing over. All that is left to do is tie the plants to the frame and train them up the canes. They are made from a mild steel rod and finished with a lichen green or bronze powder coating. Available in three sizes for a variety of plant sizes. Measurements: Small: Height 15cm – Base diameter 40cm Medium: Height 18cm – Base diameter 57cm Large: Height 24cm – Base diameter 64cm Canes not included.
