Tips on Where You Can Place Your Wind Spinner

Walk through your yard and discover how the breeze flows through and around trees, your water features and building structures that you have. You want to make sure you take advantage of the breeze that you have so that you get the most benefit from your yard wind ornaments and keep them as active as you can.

I find that once you have identified where your breeze typically comes through the most you will be able to use that to plan how you want place your wind spinner. The concept for this works the same way whether it is in your front yard or backyard.

Even though they are designed for movement you may find a very decorative piece that you want to place in a specific area that may not have a lot of breeze that comes through and that's okay because it is all about adding beauty and your own personal taste to your yard. By placing it in certain specific areas it will give you a very (feng shui) calming and relaxing effect.

Best Wind spinner locations:

• Corner of Buildings: This is usually a good idea as the wind has collected down the walls of the building and projects it straight out after the building. This is a perfect spot to get a controlled breeze to operate your spinner.
• Hanging from Buildings Overhang: If you have a hanging wind spinner you could apply this technique and have it hang up in the air catching all the wind that is above the ground. This is a good technique as it gives you a greater percentage of air volume flowing through.
• Shepherds Hooks: By using a garden plant hanger you will not only be able hang planters, wind chimes or flower baskets this is also a great choice for you to hang your wind spinner. If it is designed to be hung then this is a great choice for you to show off your garden breeze artwork.
• Beside a Water Feature: Wind spinners have a beautiful ability to blend well with a water feature. By combining the movement of the decorative wind art and flow of your water feature you can create a beautiful focal point that can be first attracted by the spinner and then showing off the water feature it is beside.
• Protecting Your Wind Spinner: After you first purchase your wind spinner and before you place it outside on the lawn it is recommended for the extra protection outdoors you should apply a UV/water protector spray on the surface of your spinner, this will help extend the life of your outdoor spinner.
