I was getting organized yesterday and figured this 2x4in wire fence could be quickly fabbed into "shelves" that could be mounted as such, made to wrap around railings, even swung off of free twine from home depot.

Imagine having a pergola with trees hanging from above. Perhaps a tree limb, an old swing set frame, log tripods, etc, to swing trees off of!

Wind would be less likely to knock them over.

At the right height and hanging material, they could be squirrel proof.

And the best thing, I got enough of this fence from offerup to do 3 average collections....for $14.

So if you are not good with woodwork, but have a set of pliers.

Consider the Squirrel Proof Bonsai Swing.

I dont see too many squirrels in my back yard. They have learned over the years that my yard isnt a squirrel safe place due to multiple times of quickly get chased out of it by 80-90 pounds of four legged fur and teeth.

This isn't so much about squirrels as it is saving 90% cost of both material and self labor, with tools we all posess....

Man, if I had that much peanut butter, I'd just build a cabinet.

So sorry to hear that Mike.
Don't be sorry.
Life happens.
I devote all of my free time to her now because she deserves it.
Sue (her name) told me the other day she would understand it if I left.
I told her thick or thin baby.
Good or bad.
Better or worse.
