Upcycle an old Tractor Tyre

I love that idea you've got me thinking now watch this space i was going to make another small pond but it turned into a rockery ,

I love your seats with the old tractor seats did you make them yourself also whats used for the base please ive been hunting seats to make some myself, some fantastic up-cycled items great work well done

 

I actually forget what I've thrown in there over the years, I know one is a dwarf lilly (red), Oxygentating plants (std yellow iris which is very invasive...its comming out in the autumn.


I also made my filter from a plastic dustbin

 

I bought them from the Bay of Fleas @martin-f

 

Thank you Bigc i thought they might have been up-cycled anyhow they look great this is the type of thing ive seen in the past, seats turn up quite often but cant seem to find a bargain.

I think they were around £60 a piece..but its what I wanted for the Biergarten area..this was a dead spot shaded and now its become a talking point...quite pleased the way its turned out...simple build.

 

Thanks its the making them myself that appeals to me, i am a bit like you love making things/up-cycling,

The bar looks great, i was a big drinker up until three years ago not touched a drop now for this period of time my own choice just stopped so its something that hasn't entered my head, we do entertain maybe its something to think about in the near future, great work again Bigc

 

I like the way you make your own concrete shapes. Last year there was a similar discussion on making stepping stones

Stepping Stone

It looks as though you make your moles from polystyrene. Are these blocks easily available?

No they are just freeformed by hand @Jack Sparrow the poly was just something to set them on I made the Japanese style lantern with wooden moulds

 

@Jack Sparrow you could do something like BigC as on this part of your garden where I've marked and then work around it mate
