I’ve made more aluminum can wind spinners. As long as I was making, I put together a time lapse video showing my process for making them. My written instructions are on a previous post here. I had the idea of mounting a whole string of these as a column! So much spinning joy!

I used wire hangers designed for pants for the support brackets.

I removed the cardboard tube, and broke off the ends that go into the tubes (I learned the hard way that the sharp bend is already brittle). I made loops for screws, and straightened the curve. I put a 90 degree bend in the folded end to hold the cable for the spinners.

I used lath screws to attach the brackets to a corner of the chicken run. I started with the top bracket, then hung the column of wind spinners. I attached the bottom bracket to hold the column steady so the wind doesn’t blow it into the structure. When complete, it looks like the column is floating, which is a nifty bonus!

I mounted another wind spinner column on the catio. Obsessed? Me? Maybe. Here is a video for your spinning enjoyment.
