Curtain Wire Makes Great Bails For Pots

[Bishop]

Thumbs up, good bit of innovation there

Photos are very clear and easy to follow. I googled and can not find "Curtain Wire" here in the USA. The only coated wire that I can find is solid core. Another project down the drain. Cheers.

This wire is used to string net or voile curtains, Tony. Generally over short distances such as doorways or narrow windows. Perhaps looking for something that is used to do that over there, might yield a similar product ?

It's a tidy idea The sprung wire does not stretch easily, is pretty robust, and needs either a hacksaw or good snips to cut it. The spring acts as a secure screw thread too and will tightly hold the hooks/rings in place

Thanks Joonsy

oh that's a shame asemery, the stuff is so common here in the uk I'd have thought it was the same most countries, just goes to show you, as Toddy says in her reply it's used to hang net curtains, it's very cheap for example here in the uk you can get a packet of 2.5 metres of curtain wire and about ten hooks for 89p in certain ''budget'' shops (Home Bargains shops).

Ebay is your friend

The seller of this item is in Michigan in the USA.

It seems expensive to us, but if he's selling it, then we know it's available over there.

An excellent idea and a clear tutorial - thank you!

Nice, I might do that today. I have loads of curtain wire salvaged from a campervan curtains set, I use them as piping for bags.

That, I really like.

I removed the bail from my billy as it got in the way with nesting and getting in and out of a pouch - I was given a hand chain saw thing for a birthday some years ago and have been using that [multi purpose item - not that I've actually cut any wood with it...). But removing the lugs on the side of the billy and using your idea would leave the billy can with flush sides so easier still to fit into a tight pouch.

What a great idea. I shall be making one in the near future as I baulk at drilling holes in pots. It also has the merit of being transferable to another pot as in your photo.

 

[Wayland]

Neat idea, a tiny bit heavier than brake cable but a lot easier to put together.

 

[tombear]

I really like that! Thanks! I'll get the bits when I next you to the hardware store.
