Custom Vines!
In addition to our standard flexible and posable vines, we can combine multiple vines of any diameter and style with any attachment point of your choosing. We can customize your basic vine order by wrapping it in another smaller vine or two for depth and a more diverse look. We offer custom sized strangler fig reproductions which can be attached to any tree for a tropical look, or attached to any wall, log, or rock for additional climbing purchase and enrichment. Have an idea we haven’t thought of? We’d love to explore any specific needs you might have to come up with a custom vine tailored to your qualifications.
