How to Make a Gazing Ball Hanger

Hanging a gazing ball in your garden will add an instant focal point without the worry of daily maintenance. It will provide beauty year round, which is especially important in places that have long winters or short growing seasons. Since the 13th century gazing balls have been used for practical and decorative purposes. Strategically hanging a gazing ball could allow you to see around a corner of your house or view the entire garden from the living room couch.
