I have a large metal washtub that I plant full of flowers and put the window in the back of the tub(on top of the dirt) and then lean against a tree. It looks very cute and have gotten lots of comments on it.

I can tell you one thing, that color is PERFECT. I love that shade of blue for the garden. If you take lovesgardeningcw's advice and put it over a galvinized tub, I think that would look great. I have a pink one(the color it came in) on my fence behind a rock garden. The windows also look nice mounted on a fence or wall with a flower box underneath.
I went and looked thru my photos and found one from 2 years ago. Not exactly in the peak season, but you can get a better idea than if I trudged thru the snow now.

If you have a shed & can paint simple flowers you could "frame them in each of the panes" I would violas in 1, daisies in another etc. Or if you have a shed or barn hang it on that & fill in panes with old garden tools on hooks. Might make a nice back piece for a potting table.Bolt it on the table reinforcing the ends or turn it sideways & make hooks to hang tools from in each pane. To divide off some of garden might put it at height you want using steel or heavy uprights & hang beads, small wind spinners, etc. Even a couple of small potted plants hanging from it would create a division from 1 part of garden to another or even wipe out part of "view" of neighbors or something else that needs blocking out(sign, unpainted house).

Beautiful color. I don't enough about your garden to know where to put it, but I'm thinking Morning Glories would look pretty with it. They are easy to grow from seed.

It would look beautiful used as a divider between two areas or on a patio. I think I would put panes of different colored stained glass in the openings.

Its a beautiful color. I can't wait to see what you do with it. Remember to post again!
Sam I love your pink one with your flowers and brick.
I use my old paneless window on top of the wheel wells in the back of the truck so I can carry more flats for the garden club when we buy our plants. Someday I'll use it for a trellis I think.

Here's a site that I have bookmarked with lots of great ideas for old windows...robomargo's! Great find! Have fun with it! Jeanne s.

Here is a link that might be useful: old windows robomargo site

tfs that link Jeanne... now I know how to add some privacy to my deck. I have one nosey neighbor that stands behind a big evergreen and watches me through the branches when I'm out weeding... I don't know if he realizes I can see his feet or not lol
I especially love the ones with the globs glued on... its like a giant suncatcher.

now all I need is an old window

Beck wi...I had to laugh when I read about your neighber standing in the bushes peeking at you while you're weeding. We've had a couple crazy-neighbor incidents here, too! I am a 60-year-old overweight grandmother and have a 30-something neighbor man behind me who actually takes out the binoculars when he's out on his 2nd floor deck to watch me as I enter and exit my hot tub! We finally put up a privacy screen.

Then there's my daughter's neighbor (adult)...she stood up on decorative rock in her back yard to snoop over my daughter's fence into their back yard, slipped, fell and broke her arm. THEN actually called the cops to complain that she had gotten hurt, telling the cop to arrest my daughter because it was daughter's FENCE that caused the accident. The cop was rolling over in laughter when he came to speak with my daughter about her "dangerous" fence. He said he was required to speak to her since the neighbor had complained, but didn't know what the neighbor expected him to do since SHE was the one snooping!

A few years back we took out an old picture window and replaced it with patio doors. Instead of replacing the cedar siding, I wanted to use some old barn boards and a barn window that we salvaged from a friends farm.
This is what it turned out like.
It also shows the floating deck we built in front.
There was eventually a dry creek bed flower garden built around it, have to find that pick..
But alas, we no longer live there and are very happy in the RV fulltime!!

Thanks, y'all... the color is the reason it came home with me - I couldn't resist it. It hadn't even occurred to me to hang it on my shed wall. But I also like the idea of hanging suncatchers in the different openings (or some of them). I can get my handyman to put some legs on it for me (my talents don't run that direction at all).

I may wind up waiting another year to use it, but at least I have ideas, now. :)

Thanks!
