Cheap Squirrel Proof "Stands"

[sorce]

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.

As inquisitive as squirrels are...they would be checking anything out hanging from a tree. But way to go on shelving. Way cool.

The only thing that will defeat squirrels where I live is lack of trees.

We have hawks, even golden eagles, and a fox den 30' from our house. Squirrels don't care... as long as they have a tree.

When I saw the wire shelves I thought you were going more in this direction... Squirrel Size Barbed Wire!


Yes it's a war zone over here

lots of snares hanging from your monkey poles will work, water your tree in the morning and collect breakfast in one go.

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....

Bending Wires!

Don't be sorry.

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.
