I was thinking they would look neat on a gate in one of those wooden privacy fences and/or also welded onto a metal arbor. Now you've got me thinking. I know where to get a lot of old garden tools very cheaply.

I have this piece of fence that I bought 2 years ago. It was about 4 feet wider than you see here. I cut the two end sections off as it was really too big to work anywhere. I paid $15 for this. I kept the side pieces in case I ever wanted to reattach them or set them up on either side of the center section. This fall I decided that I would paint it and in the spring use it as a support for Delphiniums.

Now I'm thinking about using those side sections to make a decorative tool covered gateway to a new path I'm thinking of making to a new area I might create in one of the beds.
