New DIY Cage

[kwilmot]

OK call me crazy! How do I set anything up with a screened cage? For example, walking vines from one side to another or the sticks. Do you cut holes in the screen? What about my mister ... how do I get the tub inside? Please HELP!

Fishing line, floral wire, tacks are a few favs.

You just posted the exact same question twice. Not sure if you new that or not.

 

[kwilmot]

yes, trying to figure out how to delete.

Not sure what you're looking for with the "tub" of your mister. What kind of mister is it?

I also use small black zip ties to affix things, the zip ties don't show up against the screen or vines but are secure which is nice. The ones that I got are just a little wider than the holes in the screen so you have to wedge it through and may move one of the "wires" that make up the screen to get it through.

Hope that helps!

If you use live plants, in larger sized pots, you can sink branches into the soil or strap them to the outside of the pot. If the live plants are small treess, you can attach branches to the trunk. Hope that gives you some ideas. Leo
You can also make a backdrop and leave holes in it to set branches in. Another way is to use thin wire & thread it around the branch, but it easy to tear the screen doing that.

When mounting to the sides i build wood cross braces and just crew throught that into the wood/branch to secure it..

I put peg board on back of screened cage helps with humidity also.

That is quite clever, I use live plants in my cages so working branches around limbs is where I always start. I have a greenhouse & I like messing with plants anyway.
