What a GREAT idea!
The only problem with the image shown is that the feet might be too close together thus making the tower ‘tippy’ in a high side wind if the wires were ice-coated?
Other animals could be used such as Giraffes, Herons, or Apes, with different bracketing to hold the cables.
Kids would love it on a long drive.
I would, too!
Thank You.
