An idea for summering orchids . . .

[Phalchid]

I used to leave my catts., dendrobiums and zygopetalum outside on the deck. The wind (I live in the Chicagoland area) toppled them most of the time spilling the potting medium. Tried putting them on bricks placed in the garden, and my chipmunk neighbor who lives in my garden stored all the seeds he collected from the bird feeders in the pots. I finally brought them back in. I like your idea of the mesh / netting on the shelves. And Velcro seems to be a great idea.
