Oh, no. Those are just pipes for them to climb on. They are recycled from the posts that used to hold up the chicken run fence and before that they were part of the pool my girls used one season. I didn't picture it, but behind me I made a trellis from them and some wire and jute string for my pole beans. I try really hard to reuse everything multiple times. My planters were pallets. I put old vinyl siding inside and on the bottom as a weed barrier.
