Its always hard to judge when to put your hard worked projects out so I was hoping some would share their secrets to keeping their decorations secure.
One thing that drove me crazy was kids running up and hitting my decorations sometimes damaging them. Now of course I didn't blame them, they were kids being kids but I wanted a way to prevent or at least make them think twice before encroaching on my lawn. I found a very simple fence works great. I found it also helps to have the chain droop to about 2 feet from the ground then make its way back up to the next post to keep the kids from running underneath but high enough so they can't step over.
Other preventative tasks included chaining the more expensive decorations together and keeping them away from the sidewalk or at least 3 feet away to prevent people from reaching out and touching them. What do you do and list your successes and failures
