We protect the wood by using approximately 4-6 coats of Danish Oil. We also use extremely strong, high quality braided thread to hang our suncatchers. Moreover, this string does not degrade in sunlight and therefore is ideal for hanging in a sunny window.
The string measures approx 11" (280)mm from the top of the moon to the metal hoop which is used for hanging.
Please be aware that we have designed our suncatchers for indoor use and have not tested them outdoors.
