Crazy hands: beds of tires in my country house

One of the usual country practices is the creation of flower beds in the form of different shapes from old car wheels. Such creativity has many advantages, and with the right approach, it can be turned into real art.

Using old car tires to create a flower bed is an almost win-win option for using these products. There are several advantages:

  • this is a profitable material - manufacturing will not take any money (only small expenses for paint are possible);
  • working with tires is simple and convenient, no special efforts are needed;
  • this is a very interesting creative process, since it is possible to make structures of various shapes, and not from one tire, but from several at once;
  • rubber tires have a perfect round shape and are the best suited for making ordinary flower beds;
  • tires are durable - they will serve as a flower bed for many years, because they are not subject to decay;
  • using rubber to decorate the site, you contribute to the overall environmental situation - in this case, the material is successfully used for practical purposes, and is not burned at the landfill, polluting the air with combustion products.

There are practically no disadvantages of using rubber - the only limitation is that many gardeners dislike tires for their unpresentable appearance. But this problem is easily solved - it is better to choose normal, solid rubber, and besides, with the help of paint and other decor elements, you can create a whole work of art from an ordinary tire. More on this below.

Using old car tires to create a flower bed is an almost win-win option for using these products.

To make a flower bed from a tire, you can do nothing with it - just paint it in a beautiful color and wait until it dries. And you can make a beautiful decorative product out of it, which will decorate the site not only thanks to the flowers, but also in itself.

The manufacturing technology is simple, and even a woman can do it. It is important to take into account several nuances, which are described in detail below.


The choice of tires for the manufacture of flower beds and garden figures

If the farm has not 1-2 old tires, but a whole “collection”, then it is worth choosing the most suitable product correctly. You need to be guided by the following considerations:

  1. Imported tires fit better than domestic ones, since rubber is softer in texture, has a fine structure, making it much easier to work with.
  2. If you choose between winter and summer tires, then preference should be given to winter, since they are more durable, and in this case there is less risk of damaging the material in the process of working with it.
  3. Oddly enough, but the more the tire has been in use, the better, since in this case the protector is subjected to severe wear. And this makes it easy to turn the product on the wrong side, which is very useful in work.
  4. Of course, if you can choose between heavily worn, unsightly items and more attractive items, the choice will be for the latter. Also it is better to take rubber without persistent, non-removable pollution.

As for the size, it all depends on the gardener's imagination. Theoretically, tires of any diameter are suitable - the main thing is that they harmoniously fit into the overall composition, if it is planned to make several flower beds at once.

Imported tires are better suited than domestic ones, since rubber is softer in texture and has a fine structure, which makes it much easier to work with.

How to properly turn a tire

In fact, There are three important tricks to master when working with tires:

  1. You need to learn how to turn them right.
  2. There is a need to master the skill of cutting the material in the right places and bending the corresponding parts.
  3. Finally, you need to figure out how to properly and beautifully paint the tire.

If you turn the tire inside out directly, without any tricks, most likely you will have to call a man. And you can handle it on your own. You can turn the tire out quite simply if you make small cuts so that they reach the tread. The technology is as follows:

  1. First, the product is turned inside out on one side.
  2. Then the rubber is compressed so that its edges practically converge (top and bottom).
  3. After that, the work is completed from the other side.

(water is quickly washed out by rain), but here it is important to pay attention to several recommendations that are determined by the process of subsequent operation of the tire (long exposure to the open sun, design features):

  1. It is better to choose paints in light shades, since they reflect the sun better than dark ones - the tire and the soil in it will not heat up so much.
  2. You need to apply paint in 2-3 layers, choosing the golden mean: too thin a layer will quickly subside, cracking from temperature changes and washed off with rain. A layer that is too thick will start to flake due to the same factors, since the paint will not adhere well to its own layer.
  3. It is better not to be lazy and paint a small inner layer closest to the outer part. In this case, the appearance of the product will be much more beautiful, besides, it will last longer.
  4. Before applying a layer of paint, the tire must not only be washed and dried well, but also treated from possible grease contamination - this is done with gasoline, acetone or oil paint solvents.
  5. In addition to applying the main layer, it is not forbidden to create your own patterns - if you can’t draw with your own hand, you can safely use stencils that are cut out of ordinary cardboard.
  6. Finally, the color scheme must be determined in advance, based on the flowers that are supposed to be planted, as well as the composition of the tires, if several flower beds are used at the same time.

Important! The most convenient and quick way to paint a tire from an aerosol is with a special can. You can buy such a product in an auto shop.

How and with what to cut a tire

Since the tire is cut for decorative purposes, this is done by creating a certain pattern (most often, petals). So you need to cut not with a knife, but with a jigsaw, optimally - electric.

When working, you can use files of different sizes, which are easily inserted into the jigsaw. The choice of a particular file depends on the subtlety of the intended pattern.

Of course, before starting work, you should plan the corners, the interval of the pattern, mark it on the surface, and only then proceed to sawing.

Important! If the outer edges are sawn very easily, then as you get closer to the edge, sawing will go harder - so you need to work as long as the plane is maintained. As soon as the downward turn begins, you can stop sawing.

Important! In the case of flower beds of this design, it is important to make holes under the bottom, otherwise the water will have nowhere to drain. The soil should also be watered periodically - rain will not always be able to get in if the upper part is not cut off.
