A support apparatus is provided for hanging an object (e.g., plant, hanging plant, bird feeder or bird house) upon a fence that is constructed of a plurality of vertical fence panels, wherein there is a gap between each pair of fence panels. The device includes a frame having an upper beam with first and second ends and a lower beam having first and second ends, the first end being joined to the first end of the upper beam, and wherein the upper and lower beams form an acute angle. The frame also includes a vertical member that is connected to the second end of the upper beam at an upper position, the vertical member having an opening next to the upper beam. The vertical member is connected to the second end of the lower beam at a lower position that is lower than said upper position. There is a plant holding recess at the free end for cradling a lift cable part of the plant. An externally threaded fastener extends through the upper opening, the fastener being sized and shaped to fit in between two adjacent fence panels of the fence. A plate is connected to the fastener. A nut having internal threads engages the external threads of the fastener for applying compression to the fence panels that are in between the plate and the vertical member. In a second embodiment, the fastener includes a spring.
