Support Your Garden's Success
We stock a wide selection of plant support products to suit every garden need. Choose from bamboo stakes for quick jobs, sturdy metal cages for heavy vegetables like tomatoes, expandable trellises for climbing beans and peas, and decorative obelisks that add height and interest to your garden beds. You'll also find specialist supports like peony rings, rose supports, and adjustable linking stakes for multiple plants.
Our range features trusted brands like Hardaz and Gardman, known for durable, weather-resistant products that last season after season. When selecting supports, consider the mature size and weight of your plants, the growing season length, and whether you need temporary or permanent solutions. Heavier fruiting plants like tomatoes and cucumbers benefit from robust cages or strong stakes, while lighter flowering climbers work well with basic trellises or string systems.
Installation is straightforward for most supports – simply push stakes firmly into the ground before plants get too large, or position cages over young seedlings. For climbing plants, install trellises early so plants can establish their growth pattern. Many supports are reusable and can be stored during winter, making them a cost-effective investment for your garden.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of support is best for tomato plants?
Tomato cages and sturdy stakes are ideal. Cages suit determinate varieties, while tall stakes with ties work for indeterminate tomatoes. Choose supports at least 1.5 metres tall for best results.
Can I use the same plant supports year after year?
Yes, most metal and quality plastic supports are reusable. Clean them at the end of the season and store them in a dry location. Bamboo stakes typically last 2-3 years.
When should I install plant supports?
Install supports when plants are young or at planting time. Early installation prevents root damage and allows plants to grow naturally around the structure.
