    Hi all,
    Does anyone know where I can buy the following type of hanging basket bracket:
    [​IMG]
    I bought some several years ago and I'm looking to buy some more, the trouble is I can't remember where I got them from. I've looked all round the local stores and I can't seem to find anything similar. In the past I've used the plastic coated type, but they rust within a year. These however (which are not plastic coated) have been up for many years and do not rust. The height of the bracket is about 10.5 inches and they overhang by about 14 inches.
    Many thanks.

    Thanks Roders. Looks like I'm going to have to replace all the existing brackets on the front of my house, otherwise it will look a bit strange having one that's different.

    Hi,
    I asked about hanging basket brackets a while back and never really found anything satisfactory. What I'm really looking for are some black brackets that will not rust (similar to the above picture). Has anyone got any recommendations?
    Thanks.

    I have a couple very similar to that and I think I bought mine in Home Base. Could be wrong because its years ago.

    How long ago did you buy this in Homebase? I called in at their store this evening and there was nothing similar. I think I'll try their website.

    about a month ago. I had one already and brought a second to match. Homebase can be a bit erratic and it often depends on their stores.

    I found some of these at Poundstretchers for less than £2 each :)
    The local garden shop were charging over £6

    Hmm Whis4ey I certainly wouldn't have paid as much as that at Home Base but I expect they were more than a couple of quid. Poundstretchers sounds like a good idea though if your still searching for them Shaun.
