These garden supports are made from injection-molded polypropylene and measure 5.9 inches in diameter. They are designed to keep watermelons, pumpkins, and squash off the ground, which helps prevent bottom-rot and soil-side fungal issues. The eight-hole radial design provides high airflow efficiency to the underside of the fruit during the ripening process.
Practical safety features include a stackable design for compact storage during the winter months. While rated for up to 20 lbs, the structural integrity of the tripod legs is best maintained by placing them on firm, level ground. In extremely high temperatures, the polymer may soften, so checking the supports periodically during summer heatwaves helps ensure the fruit remains properly elevated.
For those who have already harvested their fruit and need a way to serve it, the 2-in-1 stainless steel cutter is a great next step for the kitchen.
