A friend gave me 3 tall tiki torches that she was going to throw away. Took the oil holders & snuffers off & tied the 3 together with zip ties. The top was a wrought iron Christmas tree thingy painted gold with cheap decorations which I took off & painted white & added it to the top with more zip ties. Plan on doing something to anchor the legs where the whole thing will not blow over & put vines on it. Just been too hot here to plant anything since I got it together but someday...! I'm 5'2" & can walk under it so it will be neat when I get it 'planted'. My own redneck tuteur.

Great idea, just love it. I can just picture some vines growing up each "leg". Another great idea!!
