Placement of Garden Wind Chimes

Wind chimes are a wonderful addition to any yard and can create a calming effect to be enjoyed by anyone who listens. Remember where you place your garden wind chime is as important as choosing the chimes themselves. Once you purchase a wind chime whose melodies you love, you will want to place them where you can easily and readily hear them.

Tips to keep in mind when hanging your garden wind chime:

• You can hang wind chimes anywhere and on any type of hook - hooks sold for bird feeders work pretty good. Just make sure whatever hook you choose can support the weight of your chime.
• Make sure you do not hang it too close to any structure as you want it to be free to flow in the wind. Or you can use a fancy hanger to add more interest.
• When hanging your chime, remember to pick a spot that is protected from strong gusts of wind to avoid damage to your chime.

Various places you can hang your garden wind chime:

• Hang it near your hammock and take a soothing nap to the melodic tones of your chime.
• Set your chimes up in your bedroom window so that you can hear them on a hot summers evening.
• Put some chimes in your office and to help release the stress of the workday.
• Hang your wind chime by your door so that you can hear it first thing upon arriving home.
• Hang it out on your deck or patio to enjoy while eating dinner
• Have several small ones in your garden that you can enjoy when planting flowers

The placement of wind chimes can be as important as the type of chime you get

• You do not want to place them so far away that you can hardly hear them, and you do not want them right in your ear either.
• You can place the wind chimes on poles spread evenly through your garden to give a more surround sound but not overwhelming.
• A chime can create interest by adding a decorative touch to a lack luster area of a yard.
• When placed in the correct positions you can create an area to sit back and relax to the hypnotic tones of the outdoor wind chimes.
• Placed near a hammock, bench or comfortable patio chair, chimes can reduce stress and create the feeling of an oasis.
• They can (with their musical notes) help take the focus away from the sounds of traffic which are common in urban and suburban living.

Guidelines for best feng shui placement that enhances the chi of your home:

• Feng Shui will help enhance the positive energy of good sounds, while blocking out the negative energy that we allow in due to bad sounds.
• Thus, place wind chimes in areas of wind, but not in direct wind.
• Putting a wind chime in the middle of one's yard will often result in discordance when there is heavy wind and create a dissonant noise. But if you hang a wind chime under your porch, the tones are melodic and smooth, enhancing positive 'chi.'
• A metal wind chime can be placed in the West, Northwest and North
• A wood/bamboo chime can be placed in the East, Southeast, and South bagua areas

Whether it be your front porch, herb garden or back yard, a finely tuned musical wind chimes will set a tone of soothing tranquility throughout your natural environment.
