How do you hang this? I got one last winter and want to hang it now, the lady bugs are looking for a place to winter over.

We opened the front flap and drilled two screws on the back panel from the inside out. We hung it on our wood shed. I bought several different styles of ladybug houses. The other houses had one drill hole on the back to hang it similar to how you'd hang a picture. You could do that also.

I got a 1 1/2" galvanized pole about 8' long and a pack of 2 one hole straps (that's what they are called). They look like question marks, the top goes around the pole and the bottom flat part where the screw hole is gets screwed into the back of the house. Tighten the screws and this will hold the house in place. Dig a hole and put the pole in the ground add a little concrete and your done. If you don't understand my unclear directions just go to a hardware store and explain what you want to do and they should be able to help you. Good luck.

I confirm other responses. Bought it a while back but just hung it this week. Looks great!

I'm following this thread because I am trying to think of a good way to hang rollup blinds in it. They have metal hanging loops at the top. I do LOVE the screenhouse, don't love putting it up every year though!

Yeah there's a slit at the top to let the hangers out, bugs could easily get in but it's got a cedar block in the back to discourage moths and bugs. I expect there's some sort of spray or something you could use around the area to keep bugs out though. Apart from that it is sealed, hope this helps

it is easy to hang. you can use a tree branch, a nail. I hung it in the grape harbor at home. I also hung one up camping on the outhouse. Worked great.

I am not allowed to hang things from ceiling in the facility where I teach, so did not address that issue when I got them, and they are locked up at the facility. I won't be back there until next week. My gut feeling is no. I think it is too heavy. Rather, you could put it on top of a big ladder, or a high shelve, etc. I love the fact that if the music is loud enough you can set it to sync with the beat of the music and the lights pulse the beat! Totally cool dude :) Hope this helps..if not let me know.

Sorry to admit. I haven't installed it. I ordered it last winter and didn't get to it right away and then summer came. You know how it is. Outside taskes took precedence. I will put it in in the fall. Sorry to not be any help.

You can just hang it from a ceiling hook. It has supports built in to keep its shape above the bed.

In one of the photos they have several hanging on the wall, so I think that it was made to hang on the wall too. Try it.

Google it for your particular area. Here in So OR, recommendation was to put up in late fall. That way there's lots of time for potential occupants to check it out for Spring nesting, and might provide winter shelter as well. I put mine up in Nov, but it's in an area that's good for owls but that I can't watch really well. It's March now, and I don't think it has any residents yet.

I didn't hang them I put them in the paper bags in the window sill, sealed tight so they wouldn't crawl out. It took about 4 weeks, but I live in Eastern Washington, so it is still pretty cool outside. It has warmed up, so I put the first hatches out side where they are protected really well. When they came out of the bag I brought it so I can use it next year. Hope this helps.

They should be on the ad for them. Having a senior moment and cannot remember where I put them. They nicely held queen-size blankets or quilts and seemed vary well-made. Definitely bug-proof. Sorry I cannot be more explicit. They're cheap. Give them a try. Linda

Good morning, Debra. You may use other hardware than a nail to hang the item. Please check with your local hardware store for further information. Thank you, Sarah | HearthSong Customer Service

The birdhouse has a piece of string coming out of the top to hang it up with. I'm not using mine as a birdhouse as such... I have it filled with rocks to make it heavy and have it sitting on a small stool in one of our flower beds as a decoration.
