Build your own entanglement with the Cobweb Meccano Set. It's a
kit of course, containing everything you need to build a highly
realistic cobweb, complete with some of the features of full scale
buildings. ie decorative turrets, external fire escapes, chimney
detail.
Here's what you get:
One
set of micro rods pre-drilled to
receive the tiny bolts that hold them together. (invisible to the
naked eye)
One powerful set of magnifying glasses.
One
set of diagrams to follow, that enable a web frame to be
constructed in a variety of environments. ie in a corner, along a
skirting board edge, under a pipe etc.
When complete, you can install your Cobweb and simply wait. In
time it will be inhabited by a passing spider, who becomes your
new ultra low-maintenance pet. You can check on his/her progress
at regular intervals as they customise their new home. You can
also
purchase extension kits and add them on when it's time to re-
model.
If you get bored/tire of your new friend, you can painlessly evict
him, by moving his entire house outside and leaving it there for a
few days. You may even gain a new resident.

I have several steel structures in my workshop which have served this exact function and are now home to a substantial number of spiders.
The structures (or 'motorcycles') provide a plethora of hidden spaces as well as ideal web building opportunities. |

When one of the structures is taken out for a ride, the webs are filled with as many insects as the spiders can eat. |
