161389 on Jul 19, 2013I'm trying to gather enough to make a green house. My girl friend and I just started painting on a couple last Monday to hang on the fence, although yours look to large for that. Maybe lean one. What about a table for outside? Put an old mirror behind and lean up against fence. Inside add picture's to one. So many ideas. I love the arch idea. Can't have to many arches in the backyard. I have 3 and love them. Here's mine started still have to add a vine to the top and a flower to the bottom. My girlfriend started painted a flag on her's.Helpful Reply

MaryKay@Studio23Thirty on Jul 20, 2013OMG-these are gorgeous!! I would die for them. That big one I would use as a privacy screen under my deck. I'd screw hangs on top and stabilize the sides with s-hooks. Maybe even tint some of the window or us stained glass pieces in the inserts instead of some of the glass. Or even add marbles here and there to catch the light. Or something like that. Enjoy them whatever you do!!!Helpful Reply

Larose LoganOakes on Jul 20, 2013Ok I am a dingy! I didn't realize that you hadn't made the white arbor. Please forgive me! I must have been suffering from heat stroke as we are having a horrible heatwave here in Northern VA and we don't have AC at my house! Whew!!!I have an idea for your 3 windows. First what size are they? They look to be about 48"x 58".If an arbor is what you want then I would suggest that you go ahead and build the 3 sided structure out of wood.( the posts). I am not a carpenter. With the surfacing lumber on top and suspend the 3 windows with chains from the corners for support. In otherwords you would be making a 3 sided box.You could then decorate it accordingly.This would give you a place to sit and enjoy your yard and still feel inside sortof. I found this great site and I will give you their address in a minute where it tells you how to build an arbor.Best of luck whatever you decide to do and please post pics when you are in the process and all finished! :) http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=what%20do%20you%20call%20the%20top%20boards%20of%20an%20arbor%3F&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&ved=0CEcQFjAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sustland.umn.edu%2Fimplement%2Foverhead_structures.html&ei=lfXqUa-VJIP88gTw24DQBg&usg=AFQjCNFFhXxApmMaQ63B12ka2ZjdW7bdMQHelpful Reply

Rosemary N on Jul 21, 2013Use them for cold frames for your garden! You could make a fairly large lean-to cold frame from them. Or put some of your children's art work (or maybe some pretty fabric) behind the glass and hang them on the wall - a mini art gallery. Or hang them in your garden to accentuate a pretty view.Helpful Reply

Laura on Jul 21, 2013A table would be neet, or attach together to make a privacy tri fold window screen, drape some lacy material over them!Helpful Reply

Karon Nelson Roberts on Jul 22, 2013Put hinges on the sides and make a screen-- could paint/ stencil/glaze some of the glass. Get some post(like for stairs...) and screw into bottom to raise height. I would love to do that to some windows... Good luck with what ever you decide to do with them :)Helpful Reply
