the nicest ones I know of are Wooden Garden Obelisks but they are not the cheapest - but lovely quality and you can choose your colour.

I also really want a couple of nice obelisks for my sweet peas this year. The cheap ones I've been using are too small or too ugly.

B&q have triangular wooden trellis types for about £30 that aren't too bad but not to my taste. My nearby independent garden centre have some nice metal ones quite large but about £50 iirc but I think I, just going to bite the bullet &'buy them as I would normally dither & research for ages & be annoyingly indecisive!

Unless anyone has any other great recs?

You could build your own out of cheap or reclaimed timber and paint it - there are lots of plans online and they don't look that difficult to do.

Shove-thanks, I think I will try that-nothing to loose even though I have zero skills!

cheers *Evelynj Go for it! Some of the designs say that they are easier because you don't have to do one of those cuts on the diagonal with a saw. (There is probably a technical term for them, but I have no clue!) And post us a picture when you are proudly done of your shiny new obelisk!
