8 foot Tuteur Plant Support \ Hurstbourne Forge

Our large plant tuteur is perfect for supporting climbing plants, and making a statement in your garden.

Each one is individually handmade from 10mm thick bar and rod, and fully welded for a strong and long-lasting design - much more durable than mass produced versions.

The tuteur is supplied unpainted, and can be left to rust naturally giving a beatiful weathered finish, or easily painted/sprayed with a colour of your choice. We would suggest concreting the bottom 300mm or so of the support into the ground, or else affixing to a suitable structure. Due to the top heavy shape these support are not stable on their own.

Please note - these are available for collection only from our workshop in Andover due to their large size - please contact us to arrange a collection time and ensure you have a suitable vehicle.

Unless ordered in bare metal, all of our products are powder coated in the colour you select. This is a very durable finish, which is better than paint and suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

For garden items, as with anything left outside, a wipe down with a soft cloth and warm soapy water is advisable once a year to keep things looking their best.

Our products are for decorative purposes only, and their lifetime outdoors depends on many factors such as placement, local environment and any scratches or chips that may occur during installation. As such, we cannot guarantee that they will be completely corrosion free. Over time, small areas of rust on edges, in corners and behind welds/joins on an item are possible and will not effect the structure of the item.

For added protection, a spray on acrylic lacquer or varnish will extend the coating life, and can be used to protect areas if they are damaged during installation or use.

If you would like to improve corrosion resistance for more permanent items such as house signs, letters used for outdoor/shop signs and similar, we can add a zinc primer layer to your order underneath the main colour. Please contact us should you wish to add this option.
