Linda Hunt on Mar 07, 2015Number one question for best answer. Where do you live and do you have four seasons of weather? Makes answering properly for one time job easier lol. Linda Northern On CanadaHelpful Reply

THodgins on Mar 07, 2015I have seen some done in a faux stained glass look using glue and paint and they are absolutely gorgeous! You may want to try that option. You could hang it outside provided you use exterior products and kept it somewhat sheltered. I live in Northern ON as well and I bring my precious yard art indoors for the winter. Good luck!Helpful Reply

Leah Belverd on Mar 07, 2015Def four seasons here @Linda Hunt ! I live outside of Charlotte, NC. I hadn't thought about taking it in for the winter, but that's a good idea @THodgins. Do you have a link for the faux stained glass? I'd like to take a look! Anyone have any suggestions on exactly what weatherproofing product I should use?Helpful Reply

Denise on Mar 07, 2015I put Thompson water seal on mine...didn't do anything else as I wanted the old look. Then I screwed it to a easel made out of cedar rails and planted a clematis to grow around it. Very pretty. I do not bring mine in in the winter and we live in Canada.Helpful Reply
