Drawing inspiration from the flowing, organic forms associated with Gaudi’s architectural style, these obelisks feature a beautifully unique silhouette that combines elegant curves with sturdy, linear structure. The rustic, weathered finish adds to their charm, making them a timeless addition to any outdoor space while blending seamlessly with natural surroundings.
Made from high-quality materials, these obelisks are designed to withstand the elements, ensuring they remain a striking feature in your garden year after year. Their robust construction provides excellent support for climbing plants, offering both form and function.
These versatile obelisks are perfect for enhancing a variety of garden settings. Positioned individually, each obelisk makes a beautiful sculptural statement, drawing the eye upwards and creating height among lower planting schemes. Together, they can frame a garden bed, border, or pathway, adding structure and definition while allowing climbing plants to thrive. Ideal for roses, sweet peas, clematis, or jasmine, the obelisks provide a strong yet elegant framework for plants to weave through, creating a romantic, natural display as the foliage and blooms intertwine.
Placed within a cottage garden setting, they complement the soft, informal planting of roses and perennials, while in more contemporary gardens, their artistic form adds a striking contrast to clean lines and minimalist planting schemes. Whether used for their sculptural beauty or as a support for climbing plants, this set of Gaudi-inspired obelisks brings a unique, architectural elegance to the garden, offering both style and practical function.

- Low VOCs and HAPS: E-coating uses few to no hazardous air pollutants (HAPS) and low volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
- OSHA-, RoHS-, and EPA-approved: E-coating is approved by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) program, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
- Minimal environmental impact: EDP plating has minimal to no environmental impact. The coating material is not easily flammable.
- Corrosion resistance: EDP coating helps prevent metal parts from rusting and degrading.
- Smooth surface: EDP plating can produce a smooth surface with a uniform thickness.
