Just watch your head once you've hung stuff. The baskets ended up being too big and I had to move them really close to the edge on hangars attached to the post. Smart man for just admitting you're going to need the cage now against a determined puppy. ;) You don't have to go as all-out as I did -- the 8 ft "landscape timbers" are only $2/apiece at Home Depot on sale right now. Those and a box of bolts would be sufficient ... I could probably have done the whole enclosure for $30-40 as opposed to the $100 I spent on the wood. On the other hand, mine has worked REALLY well, esp. now that I'm leaving the dogs out in the yard for most of the day. Thanks, David! Just watch your head once you’ve hung stuff.

Unfortunately, all my tomato plants are now too big for this but I may try a squash plant to see how it does. I really like the cross beam idea for hanging plants, also, I really like how you've hung your garden tools right on the cage. I am building a cage of sorts to protect my containers from my puppy. good job on the home-made upside down tomato planter.
