Default Plant Supports

Hi,

I hope this is the correct place for me to ask this but it seemed the
best bet. If it's not, please accept my apologies and feel free to move
it.

I'm a student who has, quite by accident, got into making iron plant
supports. It's just a sideline that keeps me vaguely in the black while
I'm at Uni! At this point I should say I'm not here to sell. I only sell
locally as I struggle hugely with delivery.

Anyway. I'm looking to expand my range and am hoping to get some ideas
for designs from the people who really know what their plants need; you
gardeners! Currently I make stakes, peoney supports, a square climbing
rose support and an obelisk. These all come in various sizes. I did try
to put up a couple of photos but can't seem to work the forum out!

So if anybody has any ideas for supports they'd like to see I'm all
ears! Thanks for taking the time to read this at any rate.



Here's one I made earlier. Feel free to copy it if you wish. -
