Garden Whirligig On Padre Island

My Brother Bryan Alexander made this cool garden whirligig for Patti & I. For those of you that know Bryan he builds things to last. Bryan is a talented ornamental iron worker and specializes in ornamental iron fencing. Bryan has his own machine shop with all the equipment he needs to create and build almost anything.


Bry made this garden whirligig out of stainless steel and the fan blades are made out of copper. The garden whirligig stands about 12 feet tall in total. 8 feet above ground and 4 feet underground. Digging a 4 foot hole was joyful. Then I pored 120 lbs of concrete ready mix to plant the whirligig for good. This has got to be the best ever of all garden whirligigs!

Thanks A Bunch Bob!
