How to cut a wheel from a car for a flower bed. What flower beds can be made from old tires: photos and videos

To make flower beds, you will need:

• chalk or marker to mark up the drawing;
• a sharp knife with a thick blade;
• electric jigsaw;
• extension;
• set of files;
• any, including waste, machine oil.

Preparation for work

With the help of worn-out car tires you can make original flower bed at no extra cost

First of all, carefully inspect the side surface of the tire. Special attention pay attention to what is written in small print. You need to find the word "steel" or make sure it's not there.

The presence of this word indicates that the tire is reinforced with steel wire, so you need a fine-toothed metal file.

If there is no inscription, the tire is reinforced with nylon, and to work with it, you must insert a coarse-toothed file into the jigsaw for soft wood... A coarse-toothed file makes it easier to cut through rubber because you have to make less effort.

Often steel wire used for tire reinforcement trucks, but you still need to check the tire so as not to blunt the file.

If you have not only a tire, but also a disc for it, you can make two types of flower beds - low and high.

The cutting technology is the same, the difference is in some of the nuances of the marking and the method of "turning out" the tire. Moreover, it is necessary to determine what kind of flower bed you will make before starting the marking.

How to plant and care for club begonia is described in.

Markup

When applying the markup, try to draw even symmetrical lines and do not make the wide part of the flower bed petals already 7 centimeters long. Smaller petals are much more difficult to cut because the rubber is not hard enough to normal pressure with a jigsaw and a file.

Regardless of whether you want to make a low flower bed, low or high, the markings must be divided into three stages:

• marking a small (inner) circle;
• marking a large (outer circle);
• marking of teeth (petals).

A small circle is marked 3-5 cm from the edge wheel rim if it is not there, then 5–7 cm from the bead ring (place for installing the disc). This is necessary to avoid damaging the file on the disc and to remove thin and unnecessarily flexible sites tires.

To draw even circle, take a large chalk and forefinger, press your little finger to the disc (if you mark a tire without a disc, then grab the side ring of the wheel with your little finger) and guide the chalk or marker along the wheel. This will allow you to use the disc or ring as a guide, which will help you draw a neat and even inner circle.

We mark the bus like this

If the size of the petals is less than 7 cm, then the large circle is marked as described above. For taller petals, mark as above, but hold on to upper part tires, or use a tape measure to mark the perimeter of the outer circle. The distance between the marks is 5-15 cm. After making the marks, draw a circle along them.

The petals can be marked both by eye and with a tape measure. The shape of the petals is limited only by your imagination. It can be triangles, waves, sinusoids, oblique teeth, squares, slots, or whatever you come up with.

Tire cutting

Before starting cutting, think again what kind of flower bed you want to see. After you cut the tire, make changes to the design and appearance flower beds will not work.

Use a sharp knife to cut the side of the wheel along any line. Then insert the necessary file into the jigsaw and lubricate it with machine oil. Plug the jigsaw into a power outlet through the extension, then insert the file into the slot in the tire. Turn on the jigsaw and start cutting the wheel.

Observe safety precautions when cutting a tire

Keep in mind that cutting a tire is a difficult and time-consuming task that requires compliance with safety rules:

1. Avoid keeping the tire on the cutting line near the jigsaw with your hand. If the file breaks or jumps out of the slot, you will injure your hand. While cutting, push the jigsaw forward firmly, but smoothly, without sudden jerks.
2. If you have enough strength, then instead of a jigsaw, you can cut tires sharp knife with a thick (at least 4 mm) blade. But this cutting method is not applicable for steel-reinforced tires.
3. Start each cut only after you have lowered the knife into the tire to a depth of 2-3 cm and cut only by moving the knife down. This will help you avoid cuts and more serious injury.

Reversing the tire

After you have cut both sides of the wheel, you need to turn the tire out. This operation requires sufficient great strength and dexterity, so it may not work the first time.

If it doesn't work, do not despair, after a while try again or ask someone stronger to turn it inside out.

It is better to ask someone strong enough to turn the tire out.

Do not be afraid to damage the tire when turning it over. Tire even from passenger car designed for such loads that cannot be created by hand.

As a result, we should get the following blank:

Flower bed painting

If you have a spray gun (spray gun), then it is advisable to paint the inverted tire before installation. After all, with the help of a spray gun, you will not only paint a new flower bed, but also hook on the adjacent soil.

If you only have brushes, then it makes no difference whether to paint before or after installation.

Use nitro enamels or alkyd paints for painting.

Wipe the surface of the turned out tire with a dry, clean cloth to remove dust and rubber chips. Then degrease with white spirit, thinner "646" or acetone. When the liquid is dry, paint with a brush or spray gun.

If you wish, you can not only cover the flower beds with paint of the same color, but also draw pictures or drawings.

The appearance of the flower bed can be anything, it all depends on your imagination and on the design of the site

Look at the photo in the gallery for ideas for decorating a flower bed from a tire:

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

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

• this is a profitable material - production will not take any money (only small expenses for paint are possible);
• working with tires is simple and convenient, special efforts no need to apply;
• this is a very interesting creative process, since designs can be made of various shapes, and not from one bus, but from several at once;
• rubber tires have an ideal round shape and are the best suited for the manufacture of ordinary flower beds;
• tires are durable - they will serve as a flower bed for many years, since they are not subject to decay;
• By 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 can be easily solved - it is better to choose normal, solid rubber, and besides, with the help of paint and other decorative elements from a regular tire, you can create a whole work of art. More on this below.

Using old automobile rubber 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 in beautiful colour and wait until dry. And you can make a beautiful decorative item, which will decorate the site not only thanks to the flowers, but also in itself.

Manufacturing technology is simple, and even a woman can do it. It is important to consider several nuances, which are detailed below.

Choosing a tire for making flower beds and garden figures

If the farm does not have 1-2 old tires, but a whole "collection", then you should choose the right 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, it has a thin structure, making it much easier to work with it.
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 damage to 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 tread is subject to heavy wear. And this makes it easy to turn the product to the wrong side, which is very useful in work.
4. Of course, if you can choose between heavily shabby, unsightly-looking products and more attractive, the choice will be for the latter. Also it is better to take rubber without stubborn, non-removable dirt.

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 several flower beds are supposed to be made at once.

Imported tires are better suited than domestic ones, since rubber is softer in texture, has a thin structure, making it much easier to work with it

How to turn the tire out correctly

In fact, There are three important things to learn when working with tires:

1. You need to learn how to turn them out correctly.
2. There is a need to master the ability to cut material in the right places and folding back the respective parts.
3. Finally, you need to figure out how to paint a tire correctly and beautifully.

If you turn the tire inside out directly, without any tricks, most likely you will have to call a man. And you can do it yourself. It is quite easy to turn the tire out by making 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 almost converge (top and bottom).
3. After that, the work is completed from the other side.

Paint tires with ordinary paints on drying oil(water is quickly washed out by rain), but here it is important to pay attention to several recommendations, which are due to the process of the subsequent operation of the tire (prolonged exposure to the open sun, design features):

1. It is better to select paints of 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: a too thin layer will quickly fall off, cracking from temperature changes and washing off with the rain. A layer that is too thick will begin to flake off due to the same factors, since the paint will not adhere well to its own layer.
3. Better not to be lazy and paint the small inner layer closest to the outside. In this case, the appearance of the product will be much more beautiful, moreover, it will last longer.
4. Before applying a layer of paint, the tire must not only be thoroughly rinsed and dried, 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 cannot draw with your own hand, you can safely use stencils that are cut from ordinary cardboard.
6. Finally, by colors you need to decide in advance, based on the flowers that are supposed to be planted, as well as from the tire composition, if several flower beds will be used at the same time.

Important! Most conveniently and quickly, you can paint a tire from an aerosol using a special spray can. You can buy such a product at a car dealership.

How and what to cut a tire

As the tire is cut in decorative purposes, then this is done by creating a certain pattern (most often - petals). That's why you need to cut not with a knife, but with a jigsaw, optimally - electric.

When working, you can use files of different sizes, which can be 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 start sawing.

Important! If the outside edges are very easy to cut, it will be harder to cut as you get closer to the edge - so work should be done as long as the plane remains. As soon as the downward turn begins, you can stop sawing.

• tire;
• jigsaw;
• round container;
• chalk or white marker;
• brushes;
• oil paint.

Instructions for making a flowerpot:

1. Remove disc cover for a while.
2. Apply to surface tires chalk outline... If round petals are supposed, then you need to draw circles around the perimeter using a cup or round container. If there are teeth, then you need to first cut out one part from paper or cardboard and, applying it, draw identical figures around the entire perimeter.
3. Along the drawn contour cut curly board flowerpot. The resulting circle does not need to be thrown away, it will serve as a leg for the resulting flower garden.
4. Turn out the tire, giving it the desired shape.
5. Insert the cap into place, giving rigidity to the entire structure.

A few beds and a little land are enough to grow good harvest pumpkins and zucchini. Under such a bed, even the most vicious weeds will not be able to develop and will gradually rot. To speed up the process can be put under the tire several layers of newspapers, and then fill the bed with earth. To make a long ridge, the tires need to be cut and then fastened together to form a curb tape.

The second advantage will be shelter possibility delicate plants from cold snaps... It is enough to fix a thick wire on the tire, on which you can put a film or spunbond.

High ridges can be equipped with tires, hoisting them on top of each other. Such a bed is very useful for plants, since it is half filled with various organic waste: branches, weeds.

1. Single-tiered. The simplest type of flower bed - a painted tire is simply filled with soil in which flowers are planted. You can make a low flower bed by burying it in the ground, leaving only a colored border. The tires can be laid out in a certain sequence, for example, in the form of a chamomile.
2. Multi-tiered. To do this, several tires of different diameters, painted in different bright colors, are stacked on top of each other in order of decreasing tire diameter. Or a pyramid is made of tires of the same size. To prevent the structure from falling apart from the inside, you can fasten them with a screwdriver.
3. Suspended. The cover is attached with chains or ropes to a branch or pipe like a pots. Also, such a planter can be hung vertically on the wall of the house, it looks very original!

Making a flower bed from a tire in the form of a flowerpot: instruction

A flower garden in the form of a flowerpot looks very nice. This will require a soft and worn tire, as it will need to be turned out.

Let's consider this option in more detail:

1. Cut out the petals for the flowerpot. They can be absolutely any shape - round, square, rectangular, abstract. To do this, markings are applied to the car tire with chalk or soap on the top and carefully cut with a jigsaw. Always wear gloves, goggles and a respirator when handling the tire.
2. We turn out the tire. This part of the job requires some effort and skill. To do this, turn the tire upside down and, grasping the edges of the petals, turn it inside out, slightly pressing it, and flatten it into an oval.
