  • notice the curve of the black hanger on the left compared to red hanger on the right.
  • Another view of hanger
  • This is how it looked.

Can you explain how this happened

There is a black plant hanger on the left & a red one on the right. They both are 3/8" square heavy duty wrought iron. Can anyone guess how the red one got bent. The pole holding the hangers in about 10' high.
