This lush warm-season screen is created with lengths of chain between pairs of copper K-style gutters, which have flat backs. Secure gutters and chains with bolts. Drill drainage holes in gutters, and fit with end caps. Attach latching eye hooks to chains, and hang from screw hooks. Plant vines, such as ivy, with potting soil that contains lightweight perlite.
