Wind chimes

Any suggestions? Back porch 20 inch or so? I am looking.


Shame you are so far away. I have an awesome set in the garage I'd give you. I brought from the old house. Deep rich tones, like a church bell. Just not a good spot for them here. Bought them from a local garden shop in CT.

Try some of the garden shops and you can at least hear them before you buy.

Unlike the clangy, tinkle of metal wind chimes, I enjoy the low, mellow tones of bamboo wind chimes. Here's a few examples:

I don't know if it lets you group your top ten to test them one right after another.

Give your neighbors a break, and just don't.

What neighbors, and how close are they?

If you have a few hours to kill, Google "make your own wind chimes" and see hundreds of ideas, mostly using stuff you have, can get cheap or even find in a construction dumpster. Bothering the neighbors might be an issue but this isn't a barking dog or a Hells Angels club house.

Not too far feched. I may be in PA next month.

Okay, my 2 cents.

I have a screened porch framed in wood. We had a bunch of wind chimes out there. One of them was made of light sheet metal and was hung too close to the wood framing. Before I noticed, the chime had cut a gouge in the wood about 1/4 inch deep.

In normal operation it didn't touch anything. In high wind it did quite a bit of damage.

So, be careful with those things.

Since we installed modern windows I can no longer hear them from inside with the windows closed.

I like the sound of wind chimes...for about 2-3 seconds.

How presumptuous of you when he didn't specify proximity. Must be a democrat thing.

Wind chimes are like farts.
