  • Publication number: 20100101143
    Abstract: An apparatus designed to securely hang any size pot to all types of fences, for the purpose of growing flowers or various vegetable plants off the ground and in confined areas. The fence pot hanger can be manufactured to a preset pot size with no adjustments, or can be manufactured with an adjustable spring rim holder that fits and slides over the top hanger main body and locks at a desired height to accommodate larger or small pots. By pushing the spring lever back, causes the pot rim holder to move up or down and firmly secures the rim holder inside the pot. There are additional holes in the main fence pot hanger to provide secure anchor by way of securing the pot to the hanger main body using nylon straps or other means while providing additional drain holes to the pot. This can prevent accidental mishaps when accidentally nudged or possibly strong winds.
