Multi Basking !!

I like this idea very much, but I found the weight of the lower ones (with water) pulled the first one to bits. So whats your secret?

Not sure it is! My husband connected the baskets with two 'S' shaped hooks and then tie wrapped them to secure (and to stop people pinching them :o/ ) I wonder if it is the type of basket used?? they are really quite strong. To water I used the basket watering wand on the top basket and let the water fall down slowly to the baskets underneath. Not sure if this helps??

Drc726. On of my neighbours came up with the following solution to that problem, and it it reduced wind rocking as well. Lets see if I can explain this properly.

First he mounted the basket bracket/s and then hanged the empty basket. Then he uses a window stay with a curled end or tail, hooks the tail over and around the basket rim and then marks off on the wall where the two
screw holes are for the window stay fixing.

So you have a basket bracket and underneath that window stay at basket rim level.

Makes his baskets hangs it hooks over the window stay. He even uses pliers to tighten tail over the basket rim so it is harder to steal...Hope that makes sense

Great. That sounds just perfect. Will let my OH read this and then we can secure them properly. Thank you :o))))

Looking pretty !

looks great

Thanks. I have planted Cyclamen in them now. Seemed to do okay last winter :o/

Looks good - different!

Thanks Sheilar. It started when we were just hanging a couple to fill them and I thought they looked so unusual suggested we give 3 a go. Had lots of lovely comments from neighbours :o)

They're more of an impact hung in a group like that:-))

I love it Sheilar. Have more idea's for next year. Watch this space :o))))

Will do! lol (may be copying!!!)

And me!

Great lets all copy and get a 'Multi Basking' GoYpedia section :o))))) Lets get lots of photos next year :o))

Yeah, lets see who can get the most baskets hanging (will need a tall building though lol)

Sheesh !! can't lose this. Will have to move to a high rise :o)))

the hanging baskets of GoY competition??

Yes. Are you game Sticki :o)))))))

um, mine would probably fall over but i do still have mine up and its flowering.

Well we can only try. Be fun to see what stays up and probably funnier to see what doesn't :o)

ok, might put up a picture of a disaster, things all over the floor???

Well the competition could be for the best and the worst or worser as my daughter used to say :) !!!!

i shall wait and look for the right picture

:o)

Are they still up N3 ?

No had to make way for the tree so split them. But they will be back !! :o)

just as well considering the weather...!
