Not shown in the pictures, but these are self-watering SIP (sub-irrigated) planters. I lined the planters with 20-mil pond liner, then drilled outlet holes and installed a rain barrel valve spigot kit on the back. The bottom is filled with 4" corrugated piping. Fill pipe is hidden at the back.
The cage mesh is made from the same material as window/door screening. I know squirrels could still chew through it if they really wanted to, but we're hoping that applying some animal pest repellent spray on the mesh will deter them for now.

Those are really cool. I like that they are screened in. I buy them.
Yesssss, o know that she is very proud of you for doing that for her!!
These are vety nicely done.
I have but one small concern being there is no way for polinators to get in and polinate your plants.
Chicken wire or metal wire fencing with holes large enough for only polinators to get through might be something to consider
Turned out good for your Tomato’s what? Haha just kidding. Those look amazing!
