It's a sturdy trellis and quite heavy. I purchsed it for an indoor pot and while it fits, it's weight is problematic because the bottom spike and the cross bar don't seem proportionally able to support the weight of the trellis. At the end of the day it will work, but we'll have to be careful it doesn't get knocked or tip over and rip everything out. As others have mentioned, it might be better suited for an in ground planting.
