If you are looking for a garden structure to support your flowering plants, while adding beauty and class to your garden, these stunning garden tuteurs or obelisks fit the bill.
The terms tuteur or obelisk are often used interchangeably, but there are some differences. They both support climbing plants and vines, such as roses, ivy, or clematis and add architectural interest to your outdoor space.
A tuteur typically has a pyramid or cone shape with a broad base that tapers to a point at the top. It can have three or four sides.
An obelisk, on the other hand, is four-sided, more columnar, often with a square or rectangular base and a pointed top, resembling the classic Egyptian obelisks.
Whether you are looking for support for your plants or a focal point for your garden, these sleek structures will add a touch of elegance.
