Squirrel Feeder Picnic Bench – Fence Mount

The squirrels in your garden are already helping themselves to whatever they can find. Give them a proper spot to do it — a miniature picnic bench mounted right on your fence, ready to hold nuts, seeds, or whatever keeps them coming back.

Why this works

This feeder is built to look the part. Styled as a classic picnic bench, it sits on your fence like a tiny piece of garden furniture rather than a plastic tray nailed to a board. The design is proportioned to hold a good portion of food while staying compact enough not to dominate the fence panel.

Mounting is straightforward. The longer legs of the bench give you room to drill two holes and drive screws directly into the fence board — use whatever screws you have on hand, since you're drilling your own holes to match. No specialist fixings, no fiddly brackets.

The setup

When it arrives, you'll assemble the pieces with a drop of glue, then screw it onto the fence at whatever height works best for your garden. That's the whole process. There's nothing complicated about it, and once it's up it stays up.

• Picnic bench style — looks at home in any garden
• Designed to screw directly into a fence board
• Drill your own holes to match the screws you already own
• Compact enough for a standard fence panel
• Holds nuts, seeds, corn cobs, or fruit slices
• Simple glue assembly on arrival

Where it shines

If you've got regular squirrel visitors and you'd rather enjoy watching them than chase them off, this feeder gives them a designated spot away from your bird feeders or garden beds. It also makes a genuinely charming addition to a fence — the kind of small detail that catches the eye when you're out in the garden.

Works best on timber fence panels and boards. Pick a spot with decent visibility from the house and you'll get a lot of entertainment for very little effort.
