I don't have Simone the Squirrel hanging anywhere, I put her on the ground, but the lawn guy keeps knocking her over with his leaf blower. She's a little lighter in weight than I expected but does look very real... our dogs did a double-take, they thought she was real! I've had other squirrels similar to this one and the hanger ended up coming off after awhile so I didn't even want to chance it. It's a little metal holder nailed into the resin. I don't believe it will hold over time.
