A very unique beautiful stand-alone combination of Planters, feeder and bird house all in one, made from PVC with our signature roof design in durable western red cedar.
This item is called the Ivy Tower. The tower is designed with a decorative trim that will fit over a standard 4" x 4" PVC post. We also include a decorative knuckle in the package.
The PVC post is NOT included but can be purchased from your local retailer or fence company. Alternatively you may choose to set the tower on an existing vinyl fence post already installed,
i.e. a 4" x 4" fence post
Please see the installation options below
The body is made from a 5" x 5" PVC extrusion with our stylish gothic cut-out on front and back. On top is the 1 3/8" entrance hole to the bird house.
See our video below to watch the bird enter the house without a perch.
To clean the house, the roof can be removed by unscrewing 4 screws using a #2 square drive bit.
The side mount planters are also made from 5 x 5 extrusion with an internal base plate that includes drainage holes. Watch the plants cascade over the sides and climb up to the lattice. The planters are glued and riveted in place.
A 4" flower pot will fit comfortably in the planter, or for long lasting summer bloom plant directly in the planter.
Sections of PVC lattice are glued on the sides to aid in the plants growth.
The lower cut-out can have multiple uses, including bird seed or suet block. If you prefer not to fill it with seed it can be used for an LED candle, another planter, or to house seasonal decorations. You are only limited by your imagination.
The roof is made from western red cedar with an outdoor oil finish to enhance the grain and then 2 coats of polyurethane for longevity. We also offer custom roof colors. Message us with your request and we will set up the tower as a special order for you.

Installation options
1 If you have an existing 4” x 4” PVC fence post already installed, this tower may look great sitting on top; in which case you only need to purchase the tower.
2 If you want it a little higher or to stand alone, the PVC 4” x 4” post can be purchased at a big box store such as Home Depot, or Lowes, or a local fence company. The post can be installed directly in the ground, or it will sleeve over an existing wood 3 ½” x 3 ½” (4 x 4) post, set to your desired height.
3 If you already have a wooden 4 x 4 (3 ½” x 3 ½”) in the ground you can slide a PVC post over the top and set the Ivy tower on top of that.
4 If you have none of the above and want the Ivy tower in a stand-alone area, or you might want to put it in different locations, we have a pipe and post system for you to purchase. The system consists of a 1 5/8” steel post x 45” long, (2) brackets that are pre clamped on the pipe, and a 4 x 4 PVC post x 46” long.
With this system, the steel pipe gets driven into the ground with a sledgehammer and the PVC post slides over the pipe and brackets. See our Etsy pipe and post listing to purchase.
