This is absolutely beautiful - even more so than I anticipated when I ordered it.  I was delighted to find that it is only 109" if you include the stakes that are optional to pound it into the ground.  (I am planning to affix it to a brick wall that is only 8' tall - I forgot to measure before I ordered...oops!)  It is also very substantial feeling and looking and I can't wait to affix it to my wall for a mandevilla to climb.  (The attached photo shows it before I have bracketed it to the wall.)
