I need to rehang are large staghorn fern. At this point it probably weighs 100 - 200#.
One method involves putting a half inch galvanized pipe down through the center of it with a T at the bottom and then hanging it from the top.
I need to put some kind of an eye on the top of a half inch galvanized pipe, but can't find the fitting to do it.
Any source for one?
Or other hanging ideas?
I long for the days when Coke was a soft drink, and Black and Decker was a quality tool.

Instead of a pipe could you use a 1/2 or 5/8" dia galvanized long bolt with washers or a plate on the bottom and a eyelet or eye nut on the top. The bolts like the electric co and phone company use for pole work. While a smaller diameter bolt would hold the load I was thing about rust through over the years. Stainless steel aircraft cable could also work. Roly

1/2" pipe T on the top of the pipe, then a small chain through the center of that T?

The eye nut you linked could easily be redrilled and tapped for 1/2" IP. I could have it done in 15 or 20 minutes. Alternately, get a 36" length of SS all thread and use that instead of pipe.

Another option would be a pipe fitting called a floor flange. Basically an iron disc with a hole tapped in the centre for a pipe and 4 screw holes in a circle around the middle
