Any suggestions for storing plant zimmer frames?

They appear to have tried to mate over the winter and are driving me mad trying to untangle them.

Like the Christmas fairy lights do, over the year, up in the loft.
Sorry, no ideas, DH makes them himself every year from canes, then takes them apart to store.You have the metal ones?

I am sure certain things are made simply to annoy and make us waste our time!
No help at all I am sorry!.......but perhaps patience?

We put them all together and kind of tape them up to keep them tidy . We hide them behind the shed during the winter but getting ready to use them all again now .

I know what you mean !I stacked ours carefully in the shed -or so I thought -but they were in a right old tangle when we came to do a tidy up this weekend.Ours are metal and seem intent on facing in different directions when trying to group together.Finally I tamed them and secured with large elastic bands in groups until I need them shortly.

Yes, it's like unplatting fog isn't it. Ours were stored carefully but managed to get all tangled up. I've planted them in a quiet corner of the lawn but fear being tripped up by them.
