This iron bracket hangs over the deck and holds a set of wind chimes as you can see in this picture. The bracket was not installed correctly. The bottom screw was never fully fastened to the corner board. I removed the bracket and drilled the holes a little larger to accommodate the screws. Then I installed another matching bracket perpendicular to this one on the facing board a little higher. I bought two matching bronze colored chandeliers that are lit from a center hanging pendant.
I removed the wind chimes and hung the two chandeliers on this corner, as you see below.
Then I did some touch up caulking and painting. What a nice look. I like the cantilever installation here rather than placing them both at the same height on the corner. These chandeliers will be a nice addition to the deck when I have friends over for cocktails once the weather warms up.
NOTE: These chandeliers are not meant to be left out all the time. I put two cup hooks in the ceiling of the shed and they reside there until party time.
These chandeliers are from the Colin Cowie collection.
