@Do_Gon This is great, thank you! Did you use treated lumber? It looks like you live in a dry climate so maybe that was not needed.

PS. I love the anti-bird spikes! My sarrs have gotten pooped on so much I'm amazed they're still alive (tbh I think they like it).

I hit the table with some wood sealer when I was done. I love in southern California. Our backyard is just extremely dry right now. Haha!

I like your Squirrel Defense :) Unfortunately, the squirrels here are the burrowing kind. Prairie dogs, basically. So that adds an extra dimension to the defense requirements :b

There was another person on here who was looking for ways to stop a toddler from destroying plants. I think the solution was to buy a wire kennel like the one Panman has, but reinforced with hardware cloth because small hands can reach through the holes. Add a padlock because kids can figure out how to work latches, then lock the toddler inside and you should be good to go
