What I like best about a freestanding shepherd hook
What I like best is that you are not confined to using just flower baskets. You can also use the hooks to hang garden accessories and décor such as wind chimes, solar lights, bird feeders, bird houses, holiday-related items, and lanterns or jar candles.
The best place for any garden hook really depends on its function or how you are going to use it. As mentioned, flower baskets need adequate sunlight or shade. Make sure the basket is securely attached. This is especially important that it's made out of a heavy duty material if you live in areas that experience windy weather.

Place these near a door or window if you are hanging wind chimes so that you can listen to the sounds and music that the chimes make.
The same holds true for a bird feeder. However, keep in mind if you place the hook near a fence or railing, you might have to deal with pesky squirrels who end up eating more seed than the birds. The good news is that it's almost impossible for a squirrel to climb up the pole itself.
Shepherd's hooks are typically available with one or two metal garden hooks. They're usually constructed out of iron and come in several different heights. Although black is the primary color, white shepherd hooks are available.
Deck shepherd hooks are a nice addition to any deck. They normally have a clamp to attach the railing.
You can purchase all types of decorative hooks at gardening centers, but online shopping is better and provides a larger variety.
