Many believe that only an experienced specialist can develop a beautiful landscape design. But practice shows that this point of view has nothing to do with reality. Everyone is capable of making a garden or a personal plot - there would be a corresponding desire.

The basics of landscape design

In order for a dacha or adjoining territory to look decent, often neither high professionalism nor significant financial costs are required. Anything can be used: fragments of bricks, stones, plastic bottles, old watering cans and much more.

Flowerbed of tires

For example, an alpine slide, which is the object of dreams of many owners of suburban areas, may well be built without the involvement of specialists. The most important thing is not to be afraid to experiment and boldly combine different objects and objects.

Interesting. Often old junk, which, it would seem, is time to throw away, can do a good job in decorating the territory.

So, for example, from an old loose chair you will get a beautiful stand for a flowerpot. With an old chest of drawers, if you tint and decorate it appropriately, you can decorate any blank wall by planting bright flowers in its boxes.

More complex designs can be made from scrap materials, for example, having a metal rod and flower pots at hand, you can build a very interesting vertical flower bed.

Among domestic gardeners and owners of suburban areas, flower beds from tires are in high demand. They will be discussed below.

Types of flower beds from tires

To start creating flower beds from tires with your own hands, you do not need special experience and knowledge. The most important thing is to have the necessary tools and basic information on hand.

Flower beds from car tires: the most interesting options

By the type of construction, tire beds are:

  • low;
  • high;
  • single-tier;
  • multi-tiered;
  • curly;
  • suspended;
  • round.

Round flower beds made of wheels are the easiest option in execution. All that is required to organize a flower garden is to take tires, paint them in arbitrary colors, fill them with soil and plant plants.

Interesting. To get an interesting composition from a material such as a tire, you can paint the wheel material in bright colors and, laying on top of each other, form tall flower beds.

As for multi-level structures, they are created from tires of various diameters. They are placed on top of each other like a toy pyramid (in descending order of size) and filled with soil. This design is perfect for planting ampelous plants.

Layered tire construction

Suspended flower beds made of tires can be attached in different ways: to a pipe, chains or a rope to a tree branch, etc. Only first you should not forget to cover the bottom of the improvised pots with some material.

Flower-shaped flower bedsManufacturing work is carried out as follows:

  1. Markers mark the cut points.
  2. The tire is cut along the circumference in the form of zigzag petals (oval, semicircular or triangular).
  3. The tire is turned over and, driving a knife along the thickening, a circle is cut out from the reverse side of the tire.
  4. Around the circumference inside the tire, transverse cuts are made at a distance of 20 to 25 cm from each other, starting from the cut edge to the end of the tread.
  5. The tire remains unscrewed, and the design of the flower bed is ready.

  1. Symmetrical cuts are made in the tire 2/3 along the bead ring with a knife.
  2. The side part and tread are cut at a distance of 1/3. On the larger side, the side part is separated by means of a triangular cutout.
  3. The tire is turned inside out.
  4. The bird's beak is cut from the side.
  5. A smaller part of the tire is cut along its entire length (the cut should be slightly larger than the size of the future beak).
  6. Using a clamp, insert the beak and squeeze the halves.
  7. Drill a hole with a drill.
  8. The halves of the head are pulled together with washers, nuts and bolts. (To make the head narrower than the body, part of the tire must be cut off).

How to turn a tire out

Unusual flower beds

It will take some effort to turn the tire inside out. To facilitate the work, it is recommended to make large cuts - up to the tread. First, turn one side out, then, slightly flattening the tire into an oval, do it completely.

If you still do not have enough strength, you should cut the part of the flower bed opposite the petals in a circle to remove the steel cord. True, in this case there is a risk that the structure will not keep its shape well enough.

Working with a tire

How to cut a tire

A sharp knife is required to cut the tire. First, a small hole is made in the tire. Then a cutting tool is inserted into it and the material is cut according to a pre-made marking. The knife should be periodically dipped in water or machine oil. This will greatly simplify the task.

How to paint the wheels for a flower bed

When the structure is ready, it remains to paint it. To do this, the surface is completely degreased (for example, with acetone or white spirit) and allowed to dry.

The surface can be additionally primed, but this condition is not necessary, since even without this, the paint on the rubber lays down quite well. The staining process itself does not differ from similar works on another object.

The most important thing is to follow the recommendations of the paint manufacturer and choose a coloring composition that tolerates temperature extremes and the effects of negative natural phenomena well.

Planting flowers and care rules

Having dealt with the question of how to make a tire from a car wheel and how to cut and overlay everything correctly, it's time to understand what is best to plant in a flower bed of tires. Of course, there is no clear instruction as to which flower is better to place in flowerbeds made of handmade tires.

Most often, various annuals are planted in such structures. Cascading or ordinary petunias of various varieties look especially good.

Cover with flowers

Nasturtiums look no less bright. But, when planting this flower in flower beds from tires, it should be remembered that the culture does not tolerate transplantation very well. Accordingly, nasturtium should be placed in a permanent place of growth in the form of swollen seeds or ready-made seedlings in peat cups.

In addition, you can plant marigolds, verbena, viola and other not too whimsical flowers.

It is allowed to plant in homemade pots and perennials. These can be chrysanthemums, carnations, daisies, ornamental bows and much more.

The main condition is that the flowers planted in tires should be unpretentious and require minimal maintenance.

No matter how interesting the idea is, and no matter what kind of flowers were planted in an improvised flower garden, the structure itself should be placed in such a way that access to it remains free. This will allow the plants to be properly cared for. Only in this case the use of tires as flower beds will be justified.

As for the care of flowers, it largely depends on what is specifically planted, and does not differ from the manipulations performed with a similar plant planted in open ground or a flower pot.

Concluding the conversation about how you can make a flower bed out of the wheel, it is worth noting that such a constructive solution within the framework of creating landscape design has a number of undoubted advantages:

  • the durability of the flower bed;
  • good tolerance to temperature changes;
  • practically zero financial costs;
  • high aesthetics.

Rubber is a very malleable material, and the question should not be about how to make a flower bed from a tire (especially since it is very easy), but which version of a flower garden is better to make from a set.
