i have a very large planter (24 inches across). Should I use more than one stake to ensure adequate coverage? Many thanks!

I use one large wine bottle with my 2 large planters and they are fine for a week.

No. One works just fine. I use these on 10ft yukka plants 36in plant pots and only need to fill a wine bottle once a week.

I would imagine it should be OK as long as there is some angle tipping the trellis towards the house. I seem to remember the spikes being fairly supportive, but once the weight of vegetation increases you'll need some way to ensure the trellis doesn't tip. Once its covered, you'll probably not notice any difference.

If you use the planters full height, the soil you add to it will smother the grass; you don't need to put any liner under it. In fact, you don't want to, so the plants can grow as deep as they want. However, if the soil the grass is in is heavily compacted, it would not be a bad idea to loosen it up a bit. I actually made 6 planters out of 3 by cutting the vertical posts in half; but I tilled up the soil where I was setting the planters down about a foot. Since mine are not very high off the ground, I get grass growing in them just from being near the lawn; along with the usual weeds. You should not have that problem if you keep them at full height.

I think yes but you still have secure it with nails because when it's filled with soil it becomes very heavy and wobbly. great planters however. Mine were stunning last year i bought 4. :-)

Depending on the plants one puts in there. I can fit 4 to 6. I put 6 pepper plant in and 4 tomato plants and stake them. I hope this helps.

I had several garden trellises (decorative) that were just laying around the yard. I stuck them around the edges and increased the number of pea plants, as well as planting morning glories for fun. I don't see why you couldn't put some sort of trellis/lattice around the sides that you could tack fencing on to. Just remember not to make it too shaded!

It really depends on how big your blueberry bushes are! I would, honestly, go with two to be on the safe side.

I would say 6. You need to make sure that all four corners are down as well as the two side poles. I rarely ever stake the front and the back unless it's really bad weather. Then I use them all to add some extra rigidity to the tent. But I would think 6 would the minimum necessary. Hope that helps.

Sounds to me like you need a chain long enough to reach the fence. Be sure to attach to a fence post and not the fence. I use chains and and attach a turnbuckle to tighten the shades. I just received my order of 4 square sail shades. I have a couple of guys coming in to dig the holes (with a rented auger) and I plan to set seven 4x6x16' posts in concrete. The other side will be attached to my house. This will cover my back deck which in 56' X 18'.

No. Stake is plastic. You use one or the other. You choose how you want it to look.

I used 16 inch stakes that I bought at home depot , they seem to work well I haven't had any problems .

They can easly cover a 3x 4 by about 2 1/2 tall with good penitration.but can push 4x5 bennifite is as l ok ng as their not touching the plants they will not burn also plants stack way harder so way more node sights hope it helps

As long as the stake are metal, you will be fine. Surveyors used to use simple steel spikes when marking boundaries. Now they seem to use wood stakes more. Hope that helps

This planter is very attractive and could work the way you suggested. My installment is permanent because it really is too large to move around filled with material. I placed mine up on blocks to allow for drainage for live perennial plants.

My landscapers did it for me - they got one that was slightly bigger than the stake that comes out of the lamp - that keeps it from tilting too much in there with the wind, etc, and I think they also put something in there to stabilize it. The benefit is that they could make the stake a lot longer that way, and it has really stabilized the lamp. They look great and they have stayed put during some big winds....

It's raining here in Maine or I'd go measure the diameter but it's about two feet. The ground stack has a point and a small "stand" to put your foot on to help push the stake into the ground. I put mine right up next to the fire pit. I think the pole/stake is hollow but I no issue pushing into the ground with my foot. Works very well and it took about two minutes to set up.

I would like to ask the same question as well. The title suggests set of two. Do you get two planters or one?
