hi all my old can hanging basket fell to bits so i made a new one. heres how i did it :))) BBFB
here goes
putting silicone down one side so you can attach it to the other can
keep going round in a circle
choose a plastic pot for the hanging basket
put silicone on the base of the can
then put silicone on top of can so when they are pushed together it holds them firmly
After you have let this set over night your pot is ready to sit inside
now take your pot out and drill three holes in the sides of your pot
Then attach 3 key clips to your hanging chains.
Then turn your pot upside down
Then get a piece of wood or hollow pipe which i have used.Using a piece of string tie it to the bottom of the pot and silicone it to the base of the cans.This will then give extra support to the cans with the weight of the pot and plant
Finished product just waiting for its new plant

does this mean you get no problems with slugs mark ~ those beer traps must be good for getting rid of the slugs as well as holding flowers!!

Lol, Mark! You are very creative ;-)
What sort of plants will be planted in the pot? I suggest hop!
I knew one artist, who made a vine cellar arch from empty vine bottles, they were glued to each other like you did. It looked very interesting and nice from inside, but still - I didnĀ“t feel safe under that. Lol.
I was afraid that something similar will happen to me like to Fantozzi
