Hello, friends!
A couple of years ago or more, I don't remember exactly, I decided to make an interesting and useful craft for the garden out of a piece of plastic pipe. And today I will show you and tell you in detail what and how I did, and what I ended up with.
For work I needed:
· Plastic pipe with a diameter of 110 mm, approximately 1.3 meters;
· Marker, hacksaw for metal, sandpaper;
· Roulette, large scissors;
· Drill;
· Self-tapping screws;
· Wooden lath;
· Old plastic bucket, sand, cement;
· Spray paint.
It may seem that there are a lot of materials, but a good owner, especially in his house, will definitely find most of these materials (if not all) and tools.
Step 1.
From a piece of pipe, I marked and cut off 6 rings 4 cm wide.
Processed with sandpaper.
Step 2.
I cut the rings across and rounded the edges.
Step 3.
On the main pipe, which is 98 cm long, I marked the places for attaching the rings.
Step 4.
I drilled 2 holes in the rings, and also numbered the rings.
Step 5.
I marked the holes on the pipe using rings and drilled.
Step 6.
I sawed a wooden lath into 5 cm long bars and drilled them.
Step 7.
Then the old camera let me down and I was not able to shoot in detail the process of attaching the rings to the pipe, but now I will tell you in detail in words.
I put a bar inside, and on the outside I screwed the ring onto the screws. If you attach the ring to a pipe without a bar, it will not hold well and will quickly fall off.
That's how I ended up doing it.
Step 8.
Cut off the bottom of the plastic bucket.
Step 9.
I drilled holes in the pipe and inserted a metal rod into them. I placed the structure in a part of the cut-off bucket and filled it with cement-sand mortar.
Step 10.
I painted the entire structure with green spray paint.
That's all. The result is a very comfortable, cute flower stand that looks great in the garden.
The stand is stable as the center of gravity is very low. The wind, even strong, is unlikely to turn it over (of course, a hurricane and a house can be demolished). I tried to overturn the stand on purpose, it behaves very steadily.
See what other garden crafts have been implemented:
I had a couple of pieces of plastic pipes lying around, and I made a chic garden decor out of them.
We took an old bucket, some sand and cement and made a fabulous garden decor
Don't rush to throw away the cake box, it can make a great garden item
