So anyways, I have this giant metal circle. Its about 1/2"x2" wide barstock that has been bent into a circle (ring). The circle is 44.5" in dia.
Its actually from a company that used to build steam rollers. This is just one of the end rims from a roller that had a defect.
So anyways, ive always imagined using that, planted halfway in the ground, and having some art hanging inside of it. But what ive come up with, i would have to squash the circle into an oval. Not a big deal. Just wondering what yall thing would be best, or what would look better.
Once squished, the 44.5" ring would easily exceed 4ft wide.
I drew this up real quick. Its not to scale. You have to look close for the chain links.
Wondering how i would fix the ring so it would stand up? How far to bury it in the ground, if at all? Any thoughts are much appreciated.
