I don't think they will break in the gentle breeze we normally get but may take them in if the wind gets too strong. will find out! fun little project.

Made some for my cabin porch, I used fishing line to hang them but a month later the Sun deteriorated the Mono line and one dropped off , luckily it fell in the flower bed and didn't break. Rehung with Copper wire and that lasted quite a while until the darn thing walked off !

with these two sets I used some carpet thread, next ones I may use some braided fishing line that I have. for me it is all trial and error, mostly error!

Did you polish the slabs first?

I drilled the holes and then polished them. part of the appeal to me is how they look in the sun when moving around.
