Make Your Own Garden Obelisk with Woodcraft Magazine's Downloadable Plans!


My wife is an avid gardener, and I love woodworking. We’ve been able to create some nice projects by combining these two passions, including the garden obelisk featured here. These wooden steeples can be attractive punctuation marks in many yards and gardens, creating focal points that integrate architecture with the natural beauty of climbing plants. We found that the wooden obelisks we purchased were too easily damaged; their nailed-together joints can’t stand up to New England’s blustery weather. Why not make a “woodworker’s obelisk,” that can provide any yard with a peak experience, while standing strong and long? If you like this design, I suggest buying enough lumber for two or more. Even if you only use one in your garden, any friend with a green thumb is sure to want one.

    Good but be careful

    The plans were good. Drawing the layout on a flat surface is important. I am used to seeing component dimensions called out as L x W x H these plans call out measurements W x L x H. I rough cut pieces wrong because I used the industry standard way of calling out dimensions, LxWxH and didn't double check as I should. The 4th rail from the bottom has the incorrect dimension on the plans. It should read 14-1/2" not 15-3/8"
