Tire flowerbed

Old tires can be useful not only in the garage. Their shape allows you to create small and large designs: poufs, sofas, tables, swings, animal figures. Tires will come in handy if there is a need to save money on landscaping. You can create real decorative masterpieces, whether it is a meadow with flowers from tires, swans or wild animals - children will find a new place for games. Animals are painted with different colors - parrots and peacocks look especially good. The money saved will allow you to equip the open part of the territory with other important devices. Furniture made of tires is used to equip summer areas. From the same material, you can form paths and flower beds. Even damaged tires are useful in the work - useful products are formed from separate fragments. Tire items are also used for household purposes.

Flower beds

They are horizontal, vertical, suspended, wall, etc. To make a flowerbed in the form of a bowl, a drawing is first applied to the tire. It is recommended to make at least eight corners, while leaving the transitions between them smooth. The mold is cut out and removed like a lid. The rest is turned inside out. The role of the “neck” of the design will be performed by the wheel disk. The product is painted. Another alternative to a regular flowerbed is a suspension structure made of tires. They are cut into two semicircles each. Using twine and screws, the tires are fastened to the frame. The football goal will cope with the role of the foundation. The height of placement is adjusted due to the length of the ropes. You need at least 3 rows and 3 columns to make the composition look “decent”. Tires are painted in different colors. The last stage is soil preparation and planting.

The first step is to create the form itself. Only one half is left from the tire, while it is necessary to preserve the form of rings in the edges. The head and tail of the "parrot" are cut from the edges of the tire. The product needs to be turned out so that it better keeps its shape; the rings will need to be tied with wire. Then follows staining. Places near the eyes and nose should be painted in white. To color the body, you need to use at least 3 bright colors: the more colors, the better.You can choose the perfect color in catalogs with drawings of wild animals. In addition to figures in the form of parrots, they also make toucans and other tropical birds.

Then cut two thin strips with free ends. On the other hand, tires need to do the same. You will need to process 2 wheels. In all four rings, two holes are made at opposite edges. They are connected in a construction similar to a square. The bases under the legs are attached to it. From narrow stripes the seat is formed. At the end, a wide back is made. The most convenient option can be considered a product from two parts - the upper semicircle, and the bottom in the form of a whole tire. In this case, the voids are finished with dense materials. You can create an ottoman using two regular or one thick bus. The tire must be trimmed with boards on both sides. The craft is made out with textiles or a thin rope.

Tire swing

From the tires you can make a swing for the playground. They will be safer than wood. For their manufacture you will need a strong rope or chain, a jigsaw, a sharp knife and the tire itself. In addition, you should get U-shaped bolts and nuts. Six holes are drilled in the tire - two in close proximity to each other. The tire is spray-painted and left to dry completely. Then, U-bolts are inserted into the holes. They are fastened with nuts. Outside there should be a few centimeters of space between the tire and the rounded end of the bolt. On the territory you need to find a thick horizontal branch to secure the rope. Triple fastening will be enough to cope with the load. Also, the swing can be attached with two or four ends of the rope, and the tire is located perpendicular or parallel to the ground.

The tire must be in perfect condition, otherwise the swing will not last long!

Beds for your favorite pets

Craft from tires can become a new place of rest for pets. In the center of the finished product should be a pillow. Its thickness is selected in accordance with the width of the tire. To do this, draw a rectangular strip. Its length should be equal to the circumference of the tire. Then, all the details of the pillow are drawn on the textile. One element is a long rectangle, the other two are semicircles. You need to remember about allowances. All parts are cut and stitched.The inner part is turned out through the hole, and then the filler is inserted into the pillow - the soft part is ready. The next step is decorating the tire. It is painted with hypoallergenic paints without a strong odor. As a result, it remains only to insert the soft part into the chair. The tire is ready for use in this form, but you can also attach legs to it. If the bed is intended for a cat, then a tire in the form of a swing will be a good alternative to the usual one.

Creating a pond using tires

In addition to the tires themselves, you will need:

  • plants for decoration;
  • stones for the "coast";
  • gravel;
  • sand;
  • PVC film.

Tools such as a jigsaw (electric), building level, shovel and bayonet shovels will be required. The first thing to do is prepare the tire. The upper part is cut off with an electric jigsaw. Then a recess breaks out in the ground. The width is ten centimeters greater than the tire. The bottom of the pit is leveled and covered with sand. The next step is waterproofing. You will need a dense material designed to protect the pools. Do not use regular polyethylene. The material is distributed along the bottom, and the edges are displayed half a meter beyond the extreme points of the tire. The pond is pre-filled with water so that the bottom takes its shape. The edges of the material are smoothed and sprinkled with rubble and sand. Due to this, the membrane will not slip. Then the mini pond is decorated. It is framed by stones and painted.

Borders, fences and not only

Tire curbs are a common occurrence in small towns. Thus, the flower beds are separated from the rest of the space. Low fences are made of tires for delimiting zones on the bed, and a large fence will turn out from a large number of tires. In the second case, they are laid on top of each other, and the voids are filled with vegetation. It should be noted that such a construction will cost a significant amount.A pile of tires in the form of a pyramid will become a favorite place for games for children under 10-11 years old. A large tire should be placed in the upper part of the structure, for example, from KamAZ. Board-trimmed tires can be used to make tracks. If there are significant height differences on the site, the tires are useful for creating stairs. They need to be fixed in the soil at least on one side and filled inside with earth and sand.

Decorative well

You will need these elements:

  • thick branch;
  • chain;
  • flowerpot;
  • laminate;
  • a small bucket.

It will take 3-4 tires. They must be put on top of each other, painted with different colors. You can make a "brick" picture. The central part of the structure is covered with earth or gravel. A large round flowerpot will decorate the top of the makeshift well - the trunk is ready. The following is the design of the head. Two long boards create side racks for the gate. The winch itself can be made from a piece of thick branch. It can be scorched or stained to make the gate different in color. The gate lever is made of several ducts. They are connected by angular structures. An iron chain is attached to the winch. Since it cannot be lowered down, you will have to reel on the gate and lever. A medium-sized plastic bucket is attached to the end of the chain. The canopy is in the form of a dome or a gable roof. The material used is a laminate. If desired, the design is decorated with various elements.

Bird feeders

Feeders are made of tires: both for pets and for birds. In the second case, you need to hang it above the ground. 3 identical pieces are cut from the tire. They are connected by bolts, attached to each other with long edges. This element will act as a roof. The pallet will be attached using PVC tubes. Protruding bumps must be carefully sanded. Then, inserts for pipes are cut from a small piece of wood. To get the desired shape and size, use a knife and a hammer.An ideal cylinder can be made using a miniature grinder. Self-tapping screws will fix the insert at the edges of the tubes. It will take 4 trunks. They are fastened through tires with thin nails or with hot glue. The pallet itself is made from one large fragment of the tire. It should be inferior in size to the upper part, about 2-3 times.

Bicycle parking spots

This is a good alternative to metal structures. It will take about a dozen parking spaces. The distance between the tires should match the width of the wheels or be slightly smaller. First you need to decide exactly where the parking spaces will be located. For reliable fastening in the earth a hole of a rectangular configuration is dug. Tires are fixed and covered with earth exactly to the middle. The free part of the rings can be repaired with something, for example, plywood boards. They should be painted to match the color of the tires. Tires themselves can also be painted. If you remove bicycles from the improvised parking lot, you get an interesting playground for children. For a more reliable fixation of vehicles, two rows of tires can be made - for the front and rear wheels. Tires can be used for exercise.

Other ways to use tires in the interior

Brightly colored tires will become a complete element of the interior. The tire can "turn" into a wash basin. In this case, it is not necessary to paint it - the product will look stylish even in its original condition. In designer houses and apartments you can see chandeliers made of such non-standard material as tires. The “highlight” of the interior will be an improvised stand for umbrellas. To make it, you will need to drill wide holes at a distance of no more than a quarter of the circle from each other. A beautiful flowerpot will come out of 2-3 small-sized tires. A small decorative table with upholstery made of textiles “will be enjoyed” by young children.Another option is to replace the usual trash bin with a product made of multi-colored tires. You can implement non-standard ideas. For example, place a low-frequency speaker on the bus.

Tire Sinks

On the tires you can make many small holes of different shapes, and inside - place the backlight, then you get a very beautiful decorative element at a low price.
