It's lovely! You could use it as some sort of trellis, but then it would disappear behind the plants! I would probably attach it to the outside of my fireplace chimney which is right behind my barbecue as a decorative piece just as it is! Or maybe over a shed window (or as a faux shed window) with a window box at the bottom and flowers hanging down.

Our local Habitat for Humanity store upgraded from an old waterfront warehousey kind of building to a store-front in a mall. I'm so disappointed in them because they left all the "junk" behind and now sell lots of trendy furniture that was floor samples at a local furniture store and higher-end lighting fixtures and TONS of ceramic tile and mortar mix. They don't have the cool old fun stuff any more. Sigh!

I love rust in the garden! Do you have any short span areas in your current fencing where it could be a focal point? It would be pretty on a plain wall to as a decorative hanging.

what a find! It would look "grate" just hanging on a garden shed!

I wish I had the type of fence I could put it on. I live in a development where we are required to have this off-white vinyl fence. Blech!

I wish I had a shed for it, luvs2click! Goodness if I had a shed, it would probably be full of rusty junk.

I do know that I often acquire things like this and store them for years before I figure out the perfect use for them. Sometimes it takes a while to come to fruition.

Perhaps you could mount it on the inside of the fence, so you can enjoy it.

I would like to clean it up a bit, give it a clear coat, and put it on my living room wall. But then it wouldn't be garden junk!

Use it as an arbor topper, a fancy roof on a passageway.

For now, it is the back-drop to a new garden along with some of my vintage rakes.

Looks like it's always been there :-)

Looks great with those rakes! Nice!

I finally got someone to frame it out on my deck like a window. Now I get to enjoy seeing it all the time. Next thing I need to do is to seal it somehow so I don't lose that fabulous green paint color that is hanging on!

Wow - that is fabulous! Love it!

I love it!

I love the way the grate is framed. It is such a great conversation piece in the garden.

Thanks, Granny. Now I get to see it all the time even from the house. I'm so glad I did it.

Looks great there & blocks part of view of houses as your eye goes to that instead! Love it. Spray a couple of coats of Krylon clear, there are 2-3 different ones, should find them at Walmart. Clear, Satin & another 1.

Love it!!!!!

What a great way to show it off! Great job of framing. Love it!

Thanks, tinfoilhat! I remember your creations. I just tried to look at some of your old posts/pics but the pics are gone now. So sad! Thanks for the tip!
