Hmm, I tried to post a link to an eBay listing but it doesn't work - part of the link seems to trigger some html code and inserts a picture instead. It was to a listing of "Mild Steel Round Bar Rod 6mm", is that the one to get?
I use 5mm steel for reinforcing concrete and find I can bend it easily enough. Love the rusty look which makes them largely invisible. Ours comes in 5m lengths which I cut according to the height of the plant I need to support so shorter for peonies and longer for echinops and helianthemums.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

OK Scroggin. Builders' merchants and bolt cutters Alex. However, last time I bought them I'd taken my cutters so they were easier to load into the car so, of course, chappy volunteered to cut them for me.

Wilkos have steel green painted rings in at the moment. There is a large size and a smaller size.
Thanks, scroggin.

Great! I've ordered a lot of dahlia bulbs, so these will come in really handy.

Obelixx, please could you tell me what sort of place sells the 5mm steel rods - and what you use to cut it? Thanks
