Lin,

I'm reminded of my youth's backyard inverted pyramid clothes hanger in the
yard.

That would be a good method to use for those kind of planters, excepting
I've seen deer standing on their hind legs about 8' tall.

I could picture the clothes hanger raised and lowered on a flag pole, if
that didn't invite the crows!

I don't stand a chance, do I??

Best,

Andy
