I'm guessing the fence is supporting some of the weight and these may not bend because of that.

Sheperd's Hooks are hard to bend under the weight of a pant, unless you somehow have a giant plant, then i suggest you start trimingf it with hedge clippers.

are you going to leave your planter on this sheperd's hook? do you think it's going to be too heavy? I am thinking about using your method for cucumbers. I have a topsy turvy type planter for my tomatoes. It has a water reservoir in the top with a wick to water, and it completely bends the sheperd's hook. What do you think? Great explanation. Thanks.
