This was my first order from Henderson Garden Supply; it definitely won't be my last. Extremely fast, free shipping. My medium size obelisk is attractive and sturdy. Assembly instructions were well-written. It took an hour and a half to unpack and put it together by myself. Not difficult, but I agree with other reviews that say it would be nice to have an extra pair of hands for assembly. Highly recommend the product, and thrilled to have received it within three days!
We were out of town for the weekend. It arrived while we were gone. My son kept it for us till we got back. My husband assembled it while I was on the phone with a friend. It was such a surprise when I walked out on the patio and it was standing in the yard ready for my little wisteria plants to be planted. I love it!
After considering various options like pavers, rocks, plastic edging, etc. I decided on these steel tree rings because they are durable and discreet. I was tired of mulch always floating away and grass invading the mulch around my trees.
Installation tip: instead of trying to measure a perfect circle around the tree, put the ring in place and lightly tap it down. Then, use the holes in the ground from the spikes as a guide to dig with your shovel.
Note: to others, this has a smaller inside diameter than the 3 feet. It's 900mm which is 35.4 inches. So if you are like me and are using a rubber tree ring inside of it, you'll need to trim the rubber mulch ring.
Great quality though, fast shipping from the Folks at Henderson and easy to install with a basic ratchet.
I recieved this basket and am very disappointed one of the holes in the fiber liner is torn because of the black zip tie so 1 hole turned into 2. Am trying to return but have not gotten an email back on what to do. Not impressed.
