Ornamental Iron Squirrel Hose Guide

I put this in a place where it fights a fair amount of pressure from the hose. It holds up really well to a hundred foot hose being dragged around it. It faithfully protects my petunias, from the ravishes of hose attacks. It is a heavy sturdy metal and looks well made.

Looked very silly.

From the photo it looks as if it has a patina, but in fact it is garishly painted. My 3-year-old grandson could have done a better job. We just faced the little critter into the fern it is protecting to hide the yellow and pink paint. Would have been much better flat black--which it may become once I buy a can of spray paint.
