Description
Hang a friendly tin man where he can bob in the breeze with the Sunset Vista Designs Small Tin Man Bouncy. Built from found-object pieces, he has a galvanized tin-can body with two rusty washer buttons, a small can head with a funnel hat and a pointed nose, fork arms at his sides and a pair of spoons for legs. A 9" coil spring joins him to an S-hook, so he bounces and sways in the wind. About 12" tall and 4" wide, he adds a bit of rustic humor to a porch overhang, sunroom or garden.
Key Features
- Bouncy spring hanger: A 9" coil spring lets the tin man bob and sway in the lightest breeze.
- Found-object design: Tin-can body, funnel hat, fork arms and spoon legs give him a workshop-made look.
- Silvertone finish: Galvanized metal with rusty washer buttons for eyes and coat buttons.
- Compact size: About 12" tall and 4" wide, an easy fit under an eave or in a sunroom.
- Sunset Vista Designs: A family-run outdoor decor company that has been designing whimsical garden art, wind chimes and hanging decor for garden centers since the 1990s.
How to Hang It
Hang the S-hook from a porch overhang, pergola beam, shepherd’s hook, low branch or a plant hanger bracket in a spot with light, steady airflow, and leave clearance below so the spoon legs can swing without tapping a railing or wall. He is small enough for a sunroom window, a covered entry or a potting shed where a bigger piece would crowd the space. Give the spring a gentle tug when you walk by to set him bouncing. The galvanized finish will weather naturally outdoors; bring him in during high wind and ice, and wipe him with a dry cloth now and then. Pair him with other Sunset Vista Designs bouncies and tin garden figures for a playful grouping.
A Thoughtful Gift
The tin man is a fun gift for gardeners, Wizard of Oz fans and anyone who likes rustic workshop decor, and an easy stocking stuffer or hostess gift. He arrives with his hook and spring, ready to hang.
