Hanging Garden Bell – a low tone that travels the length of the yard

Iron, 51 cm tall, with a three-sided body that answers differently depending on where the clapper lands. A compass-shaped vane hangs below and turns faint air into movement. The chain is in the box, so it can go up the day it lands.

Why choose this garden bell?

Thin tubes clatter in a gust and sit silent the rest of the time. Metal with this much mass rings low and lets the note fade slowly, which carries across a garden without turning into noise. The powder coat is built to weather rather than flake.

• Three notes: Each face of the triangular body sounds a different pitch.
• Compass vane: Picks up slow air and keeps things moving on quiet afternoons.
• Recycled iron: Roughly 60% recycled content, with the weight you can hear.
• Outdoor finish: Powder-coated for rain, sun and frost the year round.
• Chain supplied: Ready for a pergola beam, a porch rafter or a heavy branch.

A sound the garden keeps to itself.

Give it open air on at least two sides, since a wall alongside kills half the motion. The finish deepens across the first season and the tone settles as it does. Use a hook rated well above the weight so the chain never works loose.
