Last winter it snowed before we got all of the garden furniture under cover.  Serendipity!

My husband drove two T-shaped metal fence posts into the ground so they are about six inches from each side (drill through the bottom of the door to determine how wide the wood frame is inside). Our posts go up nearly to the window (again we were limited by the wood frame inside). Drive the posts into the door to test that they fit. Be sure you have two extra feet to drive into the ground. Remove them and drive them into the ground. Then place the door on the protruding ends. Posted: 7:56 am on December 20th

and I want to place one in my garden right NOW
(except that it's winter in New England, so I have to wait...)
So, how do you support it upright? Posted: 2:37 pm on December 19th
