Gardman 2.1m May Pole Plant Support

Not used yet but look sturdy

Good product, I haven’t grow anything up it yet but I’ve just set it up at my allotment to grow beans and peas up it. Good points is that it has a rubber cover for the screws to slow down rusting. Bad points is that the centre needs weighing down otherwise it falls over, I used bricks and large flint pieces. Also there was way too much plastic in theirs packaging. I hate that. Why does a garden product which will face all the allements need plastic wrapping? It’s not environmentally friendly.

Too rotund not enough verticals, constantly needs adjusting.

Excellent. Very long cords so you can have a huge "tent"if you want. I didn't so had to hitch them up.

I have built my own versions before, but this looked strong enough to last for more than one season. It was very simple and quick to assemble and very easy to set up in situ. I made sure that the central plate was buried at least a foot below the surface with the pegs firmly inserted. The cords are strong and long, allowing flexibility of extent. They hook easily to the pole. I erected it just before three days of very strong winds which didn't move it an inch. If it lasts another season, it will certainly have been a worthwhile purchase.

Arrived sooner than expected. Easy to erect apart from one screw which did not fit the hole at first. Managed to make the hole slightly larger and fitted the screw. My beans are now halfway up the strings. Had to put bricks round the pole as it is a very windy site.

Great piece of equipment. Easy to put together and use.Just waiting for sunny days for the sweet peas to grow up it.
