Hi Dan, we just have a few 2 gallon plastic watering cans around the garden and don’t necessarily have a metal watering can to recommend. We aren’t overly concerned with using plastic as the water is typically only in the can for a number of minutes during use, best of luck on finding a watering can and let us know if you find a good one that works well for you and enjoy your weekend!

Just another ‘rookie’ question about a quality watering can.
I’m not keen on a plastic one, but would prefer a metal one that’s safe for the water, etc.

Have a great weekend and thank you.

Dan

Hi Dan, have you seen our article on How to Make a Trellis? Not sure if the mesh you are referring to are the ones we use in our trellises? If so, they could work well although they are a tad “bendy”, though I wouldn’t be concerned about the the metal causing any issues with your garden soil. For your situation, you could use the eye hooks in the rafters along with large stakes to secure the mesh wire along the edge and middle of the system so it is anchored to the ground as well. Hope that helps and good luck!

Just a question about ‘going vertical’.

I’d like to use some type of mesh along a few walls and outside a window.

I’ve looked into 6″ sq. welded wire mesh that comes in a 42″x84″ sheets,
then hang from eye-hooks connected to exposed rafter/ joist ends.

My main concerns are rust and the galvanized metal creating a problem
for the soil/ plants.

I thought about plastic netting, but I don’t want to replace it.
The metal option seems best (as spoken by a rookie).

I’d appreciate your insights.
Happy Sunday (or Sundae)!!!
