A Tire Climber

If you have kids or grandkids, you know that outside play equipment can be very costly. Instead of investing a few hundred dollars in a jungle gym of sorts, why not turn those old tires into a great tire climber and kill two birds with one stone? Just paint the tires bright colors and stack them up however you want to create the climber. You will need to bolt them together to make them safe but it takes very little time and this is something that you can create for free if you already have tires and paint on hand.

A Hose Caddy

Instead of leaving that garden hose out where it can become damaged (and let’s face it, it just looks cluttered when you don’t have your garden hose put away), you can make a hose caddy out of an old tire. You just have to cut the tire in half and then coil the hose up inside it. If you really want to make your outdoors look neat and tidy, paint the tire after you cut it so that it matches your garden shed, home exterior or your outdoor décor. You can then hang the hose up or just hide it away on the ground, whatever you choose.

A Rope Ottoman

You will need a round board of some sort to create the top and then you basically just add the rope to cover the entire thing. It makes a beautifully rustic looking ottoman that is perfect for indoor use or you could add it to your outdoor décor as well if you want. It’s quite easy to do and takes very few materials.
