A hanger for supporting vegetation thereon, comprising:
- a crossbar having a longitudinally-extending, upper-facing edge, wherein the upper-facing edge defines a plurality of alternating ridges and notches configured to support vegetation and prevent sliding of the vegetation;
- and
- a hanger portion extending upwardly from a central portion of the crossbar, the hanger portion defining a first aperture configured for receipt of a user's hand, and a second aperture that is separate from the first aperture and configured for receipt of a support bar, wherein the second aperture includes a V-shaped notch at a top end of the second aperture,
- wherein the crossbar has a bottom edge opposite the upper-facing edge, the bottom edge having a bent portion extending outwardly from the crossbar at a substantially 90 degree angle, the bent portion extending along substantially an entire length of the crossbar and being configured to enhance the strength of the crossbar along the length of the crossbar.
A hanger for supporting vegetation thereon, comprising:
- an elongate metal plate having a longitudinally-extending, upper-facing edge, the upper-facing edge having a serrated configuration configured to support vegetation and prevent sliding of the vegetation;
- and
- a hanger portion extending upwardly from the elongate metal plate, the hanger portion defining a slot configured for receipt of a support bar, and an aperture configured for receipt of a user's hand, wherein the elongate metal plate includes opposite first and second end portions each having a lip that protrudes upwardly relative to the upper-facing edge such that the lips prevent the vegetation from sliding off of the first and second end portions of the elongate metal plate,
- wherein the elongate metal plate has a bottom edge opposite the upper-facing edge, the bottom edge having a bent portion extending outwardly from the elongate metal plate at a substantially 90 degree angle, the bent portion extending along substantially an entire length of the crossbar and being configured to enhance the strength of the crossbar along the length of the crossbar.
