Useful tips for home and garden (with your own hands). Useful homemade products for a summer residence and a vegetable garden with your own hands Useful devices for a summer residence and a vegetable garden
Working on the ground can really be easy and enjoyable with the right tools, and we'll show you how to make your own gardening tools! Look at the inventions and improvements of tools made by FORUMHOUSE users, let them serve you faithfully.
Flat cutter "Mower"
User www.site Antol13 invented and designed the flat cutter "Mower" (from the word "scythe"). Previously, a member of the forum used Fokin’s flat cutter to process potato row spacings, but then he decided to make his work easier: “it seems good, but not that, and the quality of the metal, its thickness wants the best, and the prices are biting.”
For a new device that would penetrate the soil more strongly, the forum member decided to use a scythe, which was lying around unnecessarily, and a stalk bought in a store for 30 rubles. It took him 40 minutes to make a flat cutter. The job does not require serious technical skills:
- Cut off the stiffness collar with a grinder so that during operation the flat cutter does not experience resistance and does not cling to the ground. The optimal blade length of a flat cutter is 17 cm.
- Increase the angle of attack by bending in a vise using a gas wrench. The angle of attack of the blade is 30-40 degrees.
- For better fixation in the hands on the handle of the flat cutter, make grooves on both sides with an electric planer.
- A stainless steel clamp at the top of the spike will strengthen the fasteners and prevent loosening.
The flat cutter worked great. It also performs the functions of a scythe: they can mow old burdocks, tartar, and other "herbal evil spirits".
Antol13
The manufactured flat cutter exceeded all expectations, I have never experienced such pleasure in work. Two working edges allow you to work quickly and with good quality without bending over.
Seeder for beets
viktor50 planted beets by hand. The soil was slightly moist, and few beets sprouted, there were even gaps of 1-2 meters, although at the state farm where the seeds were taken, the seedlings were friendly. “Then it came to light that a seeder was sowing there, she sows the seeds and rolls them. Seeds without rolling seem to hang in the soil, have poor contact with moisture, and if the soil is a little dry, seedlings can not wait. The next year, in just half a day, a forum member made a semblance of an industrial seeder in just half a day. Seeds sprouted close to 100%.
By design, the handle is located in front of the seeder (the seeder is pulled by one person). Gears with a diameter of about 200 mm and a width of 20-30 mm were assembled at the state farm yard. They were welded together, resulting in a skating rink with a diameter like gears, a width of 15 cm and a weight of 5-7 kg. A piece of pipe approximately 3/4 in diameter at the bottom is slightly bent along the seeder, cut along the back wall by 5 cm and the pipe is deployed (it turned out like a hollow cultivator nose). This pipe is attached to the handle first, then there is a device that rakes the furrow. Behind this hiller is a welded gear wheel, it rams the landing. A two-liter plastic bottle with a cut bottom is inserted into the upper part of the pipe: the person who follows the seeder throws beet seeds into it.
viktor50
That's the whole device, simple as three pennies. There are no chiseled parts, everything is done on the knee. If there is welding, then there are no problems with assembly at all. We have been using this planter for about 20 seasons.
zayka2 makes such manual seeders copied from Vinnichanka with a brush seeding unit. He slightly improved the design: he installed removable drive sprockets and upgraded the marker - he installed a control handle so as not to bend over to transfer to the other side. Such seeders can sow almost any seeds: carrots, black onions, beets, beans, peas, corn.
Universal garden wheelbarrow
forum member unkas This year I had to deal with backfilling holes in my area. Two-wheeled bogies were available, the track of which turned out to be too wide in some places. Garden cars neighbors did not like unkasu for different reasons.
The forum member bought a polyurethane wheel that does not need to be pumped up (a similar wheel, but not made of polyurethane, but made of rubber, costs less), 2 corners, an axle from a bolt with a nut and a bar 40 * 40 * 3 m. He had plywood and the rest.
unkas
Wheelbarrow construction is an exact science. If you do everything by eye, it turns out crooked.
home water tower
Jakomo Venciano building a water tower to water the garden.
It looks like this: a small round foundation, on it are three concrete rings of two meters in diameter, placed on the mortar. On top of the concrete cover with a hatch. The expert calculated the strength of the tower rings (the weight of the rings plus water pressure). It turned out that there is a threefold margin even for the weakest concrete, but on condition that the concrete is not saturated with water. That is, waterproofing is important both inside and outside (from rain). For external waterproofing, the forum member decided to make a conical roof with an overhang.
Stairs are installed inside and outside the tower. The seams between the rings are carefully puttied, the transport holes are sealed. Outside, everything is painted with green paint, inside there is waterproofing on the walls and foundations and a layer of plastic such as acrylic.
At the bottom there is a drain-watering fitting. Filling port at the top. A transparent hose-level gauge is hung from the drain fitting through the tee along the outer wall.
Jakomo Venciano
To the filling fitting inside I will connect the float valve from the toilet bowl with a preliminary coarse filter. I will pour from a summer water supply with a pressure of 1 atm. izb.
In winter, the tower will be empty, and in summer the water in it will warm up to an average daily temperature of up to 15 degrees. It will be possible to plant fertilizers in the tower to feed the garden, mixing them with a drainage pump.
The forum member will not deepen the container: the only plus of a buried container is that water does not freeze in it in winter. But why do you need irrigation water in winter?
apple picker
Accordic made a simple yet functional garden tool that can be used to pick apples and plums. Prior to that, she tried several variants of fruit pickers from the store at her dacha, but then they all turned out to be abandoned and gathering dust without work. It turned out that there is nothing better than a three-meter aluminum pole and a plastic bottle. This device is often used by a forum member because of its ease and convenience.
Accordic
And we can't do without it. It is convenient with him, and a ladder is not needed.
Screw planting seeds
Denforever came up with a device for planting seeds, which allows you not to make holes and subsequently thin out seedlings. The device is made in several versions: 3 cm, 5 cm and 2 cm long. In the future, a handle will be adapted to the device. In the photo we see that the screws are not screwed in - this is for convenient transportation to the country. Then they will need to be screwed in.
Miracle Shovel
Serdsvetlana completely delighted with the “miracle shovel”, which is easy to make yourself. The ease with which the garden is dug up, the soil is loosened and potatoes are dug up is surprising.
A feature of tillage with a miracle shovel: the garden is not dug across, but along. We take a miracle shovel by the edges of the upper bar with two outstretched hands, step on the platform (footboard) and it easily enters the ground. With a slight movement (can be combined with a slight shaking), stepping back two steps, we transfer the shovel from a vertical position to an almost horizontal one. After that, we take a step forward, pull the shovel back 30 cm, give it a vertical position, drive it into the ground and repeat the cycles until the row ends. Then we move on to the next row.
Materials: half-inch pipe, round timber (or hexagon) with a diameter of 15 mm.
For ease of transportation, you can make a collapsible design.

Landscaping a summer house will not be a problem and an expensive investment if you show a little ingenuity. It is not difficult to create homemade products with your own hands - it will take time, simple tools and fixtures. You can use the remnants of building materials, unnecessary boards, car tires, sawn trees.
What materials are used
Any summer resident will not refuse the stylish decor of the site. Many firms offer original stuff. However, do-it-yourself crafts will help to give originality to the site.
Materials that are most often used in the work:
When decorating a summer house, one should not restrain one's imagination - bold combinations of materials and non-standard use of unnecessary things are welcome.
It is not necessary to observe proportions or natural color combinations. A giraffe may have purple spots, and a small engine may be small.
Original decor for the recreation area
Many townspeople acquire suburban areas for a relaxing holiday. It's nice to get away from the everyday life of the city and feel the connection with nature on the weekends. The design of a corner for relaxation deserves attention, it is advisable to fence it off from the agricultural work zone. A fashionable solution is the construction of small arbors from the remnants of boards. You will also need poles for supports and cross beams.
Sequence of work:
- At the corners of the site, pits are dug 50-60 cm deep, where the bars are inserted and fixed with a solution.
- Support beams with self-tapping screws are fixed at the upper ends of the bars.
- Cross boards are fixed on the support beams. On the bars, the boards are fixed in a horizontal form, leaving gaps 5-7 cm wide.
A neatly cut lawn or a platform paved with stone - any options are suitable for decorating the site. To revive the structure, flowerpots with flowers are installed near the site or climbing plants are planted nearby.
How beautiful to arrange flower beds
Fragrant flower beds are the best decor for a recreation area.
It is easy to make non-standard flowerbed fencing from improvised means:
- If there is a small amount of brick left, you can lay out a flower bed of any geometric shape in several rows. The solution will help to fix the structure and give it strength. Flower beds made of natural stone also look natural.
- Car tires have long been a sought-after material in summer cottages. To give the flower garden a well-groomed appearance, it is advisable to paint the tires with bright paint and lay them out in several layers, forming flowerpots or lay them out around the site in a curved form, forming circles, ovals.
A couple of plastic or wooden flowerpots will help to give a non-standard look to an old bicycle. The transformation is done quickly: the bike is painted with bright paint, flowerpots are fixed over the front and rear wheels. A picturesque view of the structure will be given by climbing plants, the branches of which will skillfully disguise metal structures.
An old bathtub will not look like trash at all if it is transformed outside the box. Of course, the most straightforward option is to use a colorfully painted container as a reservoir.
However, meticulous and not lazy summer residents will transform the bath into cozy furniture for relaxation. For a miraculous transformation, it is necessary to cut out part of the side wall with a grinder, carefully grind the sections. Comfortable sofas ennoble: they are painted in the right shade, decorated with soft mattresses, headrests.
An impromptu flower garden in the form of a garden watering can, installed next to the sofa, will allow you to create a real relaxation zone.
Stylish garden paths
Rusted metal tanks or old wooden barrels can be turned into original flower beds or even original beds that will successfully complement garden paths.
Stages of work:
Barrels, tubs, thick logs can be called the most pleasant material for work. It is wonderful that objects can be placed not only vertically, but also horizontally, sawn in half or built multi-tiered structures.
Products do not need to be specially decorated - a colorful wooden texture will serve as the best decoration.
Do-it-yourself figured compositions
It is quite understandable the desire of each summer resident to give the site a unique look. In order not to spend money on the services of designers, you can create fun crafts with your own hands from improvised materials. Unnecessary garden tools, broken metal products, household containers, cobblestones and stones of different sizes - everything is used.
How to make metal decor
Creative decoration of paths, lawns will be unique figures assembled from old shovels and broken rakes, choppers. It is not difficult to create expressive images - the main thing is not to limit your imagination. To assemble a snail figurine, you will need literally a narrow sheet of metal, a can of canned food. Black paint will give the figure a laconic look and make it very noticeable against the background of a green lawn.
The original solution is to combine different materials when creating figures. The union of stone and metal looks elegant and natural. A playful look has a cat, assembled from rounded cobblestones of different sizes and metal elements. A stone pet is comfortably laid on a large stone to bask in the sun.
Flowers collected from table metal spoons will become a brilliant decoration of the flower bed. An impromptu flower garden will delight summer residents at any time of the year - rainy autumn and snowy winter. An umbrella assembled from metal tubes will give a coquettish and airy look to the flower bed. Welding a structure at home is easy. To plant flowers, first make a frame of plywood or thick film.
Original do-it-yourself crafts made of wood
Wood products always bring comfort to the decor of the garden plot. A wooden composition in the form of large porcini mushrooms will ideally fit into the landscape design of the site. However, you can give the fungus a playful look by using an unuprooted stump. A funny grimace on a tree is easy to depict with a chisel. And the hat can be made from a thick cut.
Decorative compositions assembled from wooden saw cuts or logs become a real work of art. The figurines of animals collected from old branches, sticks and several logs look playful. A more practical solution is the arrangement of flower beds from small logs.
Create a small flower garden in several stages:
- The log is sawn into several equal parts, thin wooden cuts of branches are made separately to decorate the wheels.
- In each element, the inner part is removed and an impromptu cabin of a locomotive is made separately from small boards.
- Wheels are attached to the logs and the composition is laid on the site in the form of a train.
To make it easier to take care of the flowers, the plants are planted in separate pots, which are simply placed in the recesses.
Do-it-yourself functional homemade products deserve special attention - country furniture assembled from improvised materials. The easiest way to make items from sawn thick wood. It is enough to make a table from the base of the trunk, and less thick logs will take part in the creation of chairs. A small bench is assembled from individual branches and boards. It is not recommended to paint such furniture with colored paints - the natural wood texture, covered with a colorless water-repellent varnish, looks more elegant.
A popular option for crafts is animal figurines collected from tree cuts. You can assemble a composition from a couple of owls located on a stump. The stage of assembling homemade products created by oneself takes a little time: bodies are made from large saw cuts, on which round eyes and wings are fixed.
Do-it-yourself homemade products for a summer cottage children's corner
Any tree is the best option for decorating a playground in a country house. Different materials will be useful in the work: logs, hemp, boards. Making crafts for a summer residence with your own hands is an exciting activity in which all family members can take part. Simple shapes, a minimum of details, bright colors - such figures look elegant and fun.
It is easy to assemble figurines from different materials. As an option - a set of wooden poles, tires from a car.
It is easy to build a figurine near the playground:
- The tire is half dug into the ground.
- A pillar 8-10 cm thick is dug in front of the tire.
- On top of the logs, an impromptu muzzle from a small log is attached. Details of the figurine (tail, ears, eyes) are cut out of plastic bottles.
- You can color the figurine for any animal.
In order for the child to have fun on the site, it is advisable to create not just decorative crafts, but games.
As an option, plywood figurines of animals are installed. Holes of different widths are made in the canvas through which balls can be thrown.
the solution is the design of locomotives from small logs of the same size. To build a structure, you will need logs, paint, tools.
Main stages of work:
- Holes are made in the base logs (even number) of the same size.
- The bases are laid out on the ground at equal intervals, painted in one color.
- On the bases, logs are placed perpendicularly - “carriages”, painted with multi-colored bright colors.
- To highlight the "engine", a pipe and a small bar - a "booth" are fixed on a log.
Flower beds, decorated in small metal barrels, will add brightness to the playground. Kids will love taking care of the flowers planted in the colorful flowerpots.
Amazing crafts in the country - this is a great chance to give products a "second life" and decorate the site in an original way. A little time and diligence - and you can give functionality to a modern laconic decor or simply decorate the site with figurines-characters of your favorite cartoons.

Adjoining territory
With the advent of spring, life on weekends in cities stops, because a lot of people go towards their second home - to the dacha, where there is always something to devote time to. You can do the beds, or sit in the sun, but some ingenious summer residents prefer a different, useful pastime - they invent a variety of miracle things - do-it-yourself home-made products for summer cottages and gardens that can save money and significantly facilitate difficult summer life.
Dacha - a storehouse of the necessary material
The suburban area is a kind of Mecca, where heaps of old, but still strong things flock, which the hand still does not rise to throw away. Among the accumulated “wealth”, you can most often find old furniture, clothes and shoes, dishes and a lot of various “junk”. But there are also those products that are not so lucky, they end their lives in trash cans. This applies to plastic bottles, car tires, various materials left unclaimed after repair.
Craftsmen do not scatter improvised materials like that, because they know how to find a use for each of them, and therefore breathe a second life. Moreover, not only pretty decorations for a summer cottage come out from under their hands, but also things that can be of practical importance. We will talk about them first.
Practicality above all else
Unnecessary things can, with the help of “very skillful hands”, turn into objects that are difficult to do without in a summer cottage.
Car ramp turned into an ottoman
This work is quite simple, and it does not require a lot of materials. In addition to the slope, two pieces of plywood, something from thick clothing, or a thick rope are needed. 2 circles are cut out of plywood, their diameter should be 4 cm less than the diameter of the slope. They are fastened from below and from above with self-tapping screws. If a dense fabric is chosen for the manufacture of the ottoman, then foam rubber must also be added to the list, from which a circle is cut out for a future seat of the same size. The clothes are first ripped, then a cover is sewn from it. If a rope or rope is used, then the ramp is pasted over in a circle.
Plastic bottles that save crops from drought
Suitable for those summer residents who do not have the opportunity to often visit the country. It is necessary to take voluminous bottles, best of all - five liters. They need to make 2 rows of holes in increments of 2-3 cm, and then dig each one at an equal distance from 4 bushes so that the holes are at the level of the roots. Then you need to pour water, and close the bottles with lids.
"Neatists" who prefer beautiful beds will like their design with these bottles. To make the beds look more fun, bottles can be used in different colors. For strength, sand should be poured into each container up to half. After digging a trench, simply reinforce the bottles with the bottoms up, then sprinkle with earth. If this option does not suit you, you can paint the fence with water-based paint.
Bathtub turned into flower garden or pond
Making a flower garden out of the bath is not difficult at all. Expanded clay or broken bricks are suitable as drainage, a substrate must be poured on top, and plants should be planted. Outside, such a “flower bed” can be painted with cheerful paint, or pasted over with colored glass.
Arranging a mini-pond from a bath is a fairly simple task, the main thing is to dig a hole, place it there, dig a slate around the perimeter that rises 20 cm from the surface of the earth. At its edges, fix the cut hose, and then cover the entire structure with polyethylene, and pour water. The perimeter is decorated with stones, and the pond itself can be populated with aquatic plants.
Wood: swings and furniture for every taste
Both kids and adults love swings. If an old chair “bores” somewhere on your site, then turn it into a swing by sawing off the legs. After that, it remains to paint the product and fix it to the bitch with the help of ropes. If you like to tinker with wood, you can make a new swing from the wood left after construction.
Wonderful furniture is obtained from ordinary wooden pallets. To give it the necessary mobility, it is worth purchasing furniture wheels for such a “headset”. Hemp and poles can become an excellent material for making original country furniture, and a flight of fancy sometimes helps to make real masterpieces.
Don't part with metal!
If old non-working metal units have found shelter in the country, then it will not be difficult to make useful things out of them. The tank of the washing machine will successfully replace the barbecue: for this you only need a grinder and a few legs, the role of which can be assigned to the pins. If you need to make a smokehouse, then it will be enough to attach a net to a barrel or bucket.
But most often, metal is used for the frame of greenhouses and greenhouses. This type of work is extremely popular. You can make such a "skeleton" with the help of a welding machine, or without it - you can mount pipes or a profile using bolts or self-tapping screws. If the power grid for welding is weak, then it will be easiest to rent a diesel generator.
Do-it-yourself homemade products for summer cottages and gardens: decoration
The original solutions decorating the site are incredibly diverse. For example, plastic bottles make wonderful gazebos, pretty fences and simply unique products.
Building a desert island out of plastic bottles
A mandatory attribute of a summer residence for a large family is a sandbox, and in order for the little robbers not to get bored, they need their own “treasure island”, so palm trees are indispensable. Yes, and they are made from such multifaceted plastic bottles. Trunks are made of metal rods, the length depends only on the height of the planned "tree". You can install them in the corners of the sandbox, or in its middle.
Then the base is lined with stones and poured with concrete. The bottom of the bottles must be cut off and put on rods. If there is a possibility that the “pirates” can test the barrel for strength, it is better to additionally glue its components together.
For the crown of the tree, green bottles are taken, and 6 pieces of hard wire will go to each palm tree. The bottom of the bottles is cut off, then they are cut along, but it is necessary to leave a distance of 2 cm at the neck. These “branches” are mounted on a wire that is attached to the trunk.
Plastic bottle caps: the choice of the patient
Such a decoration of the house will lead to the fact that all passers-by, without exception, will admire it, as if marvelously. But it will take a lot of covers and labor. They are fastened in different ways: they are nailed to a wooden building with thin nails, glue can be used, others make 4 lateral perpendicular holes in the covers to stretch two wires. The labor-intensive process is good because the patterns can be changed if the soul requires change.
Do-it-yourself home-made products for summer cottages and gardens are too big a topic, so we have only touched on a fraction of the methods and materials: it seems that our Russian craftsmen have adapted all the things of the world for this. Therefore, you can invent something of your own, because the main thing in this business is inspiration and imagination.
In this video you will see a number of wonderful things:
All the owners of a summer house once think about decorating it, bringing something special into the atmosphere. Of course, you can go to specialized stores and buy whatever your heart desires. But if summer residents want their place of rest to be unique and inimitable, then it will be much more interesting to make decorations with their own hands. Jewelry made by yourself will give the owners both a creative mood and aesthetic pleasure.
We choose original ideas for giving
Each owner of a summer house, if desired, can find a lot of different ideas for decorating his site. For the manufacture of most scenery, only improvised means and minimal costs will be enough. And old, unnecessary furniture and interior items will inspire creativity even more. Often, seemingly completely useless and forgotten things can come in handy. Country designers use in their work everything that comes to hand: broken old furniture, unnecessary toys, various bottles and utensils, car tires, leftover building materials and much more.
Not a single summer cottage is complete without intricate interesting flower beds. You can add uniqueness to flower arrangements by planting them in old containers. It can be barrels, pots, and even carts. Many summer residents build various fences for flower beds.
Cosiness will always be added by original paths at their summer cottage. They are made from timber or stone. And the rest of the materials can always be used for the construction of the next composition.
Bottles and plastic jars are especially popular with country designers. From them it is easy and simple to build a lot of interesting sculptures, decorations for flower beds, borders. There are no limits for imagination here.
Be sure to place a bird feeder in the country. Children usually love to watch birds. And with a bird feeder, birds will be a frequent guest at their summer cottage. It can be made from a plastic bottle, and from an unnecessary block of wood, and from twigs.
Without much difficulty, you can make a variety of figures that will bring comfort and individuality to the country atmosphere. For their manufacture, you can use a variety of design solutions and materials. For example, polymer clay, remnants of mounting foam, gypsum and other building materials. One has only to start creative work and it will immediately become clear that nothing is impossible.
Crafts from improvised means
The most popular among improvised materials for crafts are bottles, various plastic jars and boxes. Before starting work, you should definitely think over the details so that the result is really beautiful, and does not resemble a bunch of plastic waste.
Plastic bottles are easy to cut, it is easy to give them the desired shape. And if you cover the result of the work with suitable paints, you get bright, unique decorations for giving. For example, you can make figures of animals (pigs, cows, bees) or fairy-tale characters. By making such decorations, you can unleash your creative potential, and each time the crafts will be more and more perfect. With a large amount of unnecessary plastic, not only crafts are made from it, but also pieces of furniture.
If there is a glass cutter among the tools, then you can make original pots from glass bottles. Such crafts look very stylish and easily fit into any design. Candle holders can be made in the same way.
Bottle caps can also be useful for decorating furniture, decorative fences, creating compositions and even curtains. You can also use chocolate egg toy containers.
The remains of natural stone are perfect for decorating a pond in the country. A small pond will bring a unique comfort to the atmosphere of the cottage. Around will look good flower beds, crafts or a recreation area. If the pond turns out to be large enough, then it can be decorated with an interesting bridge.
Every motorist will always have old tires. You can simply paint them and make bright bases for a flower bed out of them, or you can show your imagination and cut out various shapes.
Arrangement of a play area in the country
While landscaping and decorating a summer cottage, do not forget about the children. They need their own territory for games and entertainment. Children of all ages love swings. They can be made from ordinary boards and ropes, or you can use metal chains and old tires painted in bright colors. From improvised materials it is easy to build slides, swings, rocking chairs. The main thing is that everything is strong and reliable.
Toddlers will definitely need a sandbox. Her borders will look interesting from multi-colored bottles or wooden log cabins. The sandbox in the form of a ship or car will look original. It is recommended to make an awning over the sand to protect from the bright sun.
Children will certainly enjoy having their own playhouse in their summer cottage. Benches, a table or other furniture can be placed inside. Everything depends on fantasy. The house can be decorated with a bright flower bed or homemade decorations. Usually the guys themselves are happy to take part in decorating their territory.
Ideas for decorating a fence in the country
The fencing will best emphasize the uniqueness of the suburban area. The fence is not only the protection of the territory, but also the so-called calling card of the owners.
A simple wooden or iron fence is commonplace. It must be decorated. You can decorate the fence with a variety of materials: flower pots, crafts in the form of animals, painted landscapes and everything that is enough for imagination. For example, unnecessary bright-colored rubber boots will look original as pots.
You can decorate the fence with old disks. They reflect sunlight and look interesting in any light. Different patterns can also be applied to the discs.
The fence made of wooden round timber, painted “under colored pencils”, looks spectacular. With such a fence, you can also fence off the children's territory in the country.
Any fence will look cozier if some climbing plants grow along it. There are various types that grow very quickly. For example, decorative beans or morning glory. You can plant vines. They grow much slower, but also look more expensive. Beyond comparison in this case, wild grapes. Grape leaves gradually change their color and retain their beauty until the frost. It looks original when the "grape fence" turns into a canopy. This design gives the fence an old look.
Flowering shrubs planted along it will become beautiful decorations for a low fence. You can combine plants with different colors and flowering time.
In the evening, different lanterns on the fence look beautiful. It is also possible to make them yourself from improvised materials. Or you can simply place candles in painted glass jars attached to the fence. The main thing is that the flame does not fall on the fence.
A lot of room for imagination will open up to those who like to draw. You can draw anything on the surface of the fence: nature, plots, cartoon characters, ornament, small patterns in the form of flowers, butterflies, ladybugs. It is easy to draw on any fence, but it is easier on a corrugated fence.
Compositions of caps, shells, stones, dishes look original. It is easy to make plastic flowers from the bottoms of bottles and paint them in rich colors - they will look beautiful on a wooden fence.
We make flower beds and flower beds
Flower beds will help transform the summer cottage and bring color to its atmosphere. When choosing plants, be sure to take into account their individual characteristics. First of all, it is worth deciding on the flowers "soloists", that is, the main plants in the flower bed. The choice can be stopped at three or four types.
The design of flowers with ornamental herbs and leaves of an interesting shape looks beautiful. With them, the flower bed will be original, even when the flowers do not bloom. But do not try to place a lot of different plants in the country. The territory of the site should look holistically and harmoniously.
Of course, it’s not enough just to plant flowers beautifully. The flower beds also decorated around look more original. The composition must be complete.
Flower beds can be decorated using any unnecessary items. The article has already said that it is easy to make small flower beds from old tires painted in bright colors. You can use a wheelbarrow, a cart, an unnecessary beehive, or even an old car. The main thing is that everything is done neatly and aesthetically. If desired, you can add decorations to the flower garden in the form of homemade bees, butterflies, interesting stuffed animals.
You can make a small fence around the flower bed. For its manufacture, it is possible to use plastic bottles or cups, a fence made of tyn, stones. The flowerbed smoothly turning into a lawn looks beautiful.
Setting up a recreation area
At the cottage, a comfortable place for outdoor recreation must be equipped. This issue must be approached very responsibly. It all depends on the preferences and desires of the owners. It can be just a laid out area with a table and comfortable chairs or hammocks placed in the shade.
At any summer cottage, a gazebo will look spectacular, which can be made from the remaining building materials. Arbors look beautiful, the walls of which are decorated with climbing plants. Bright soft pillows or blankets look cozy as decorations.
Swings can be not only for children, but also for adults. It will not be difficult to build a wide wooden swing for relaxation or make hinged ones somewhere in the shade of trees. For convenience, they can be decorated with soft pillows.
In the recreation area, you will definitely need a barbecue. It can be made, for example, from an old barrel. Flashlights can be provided for the evening and night time.
When making and decorating a summer cottage, it is worth remembering that a summer cottage is a place of rest from everyday life and bustle of the city. It should be comfortable and calm, and the environment should be pleasing to the eye. It is important not to overload the territory with crafts or some kind of design solutions, everything should be in moderation. Imagine, create, surprise!
Today, a dacha is not just a garden with a house. Nowadays, the dacha becomes a place of summer recreation. And any vacation implies a beautiful and cozy environment, so that everything around us pleases our eyes.
Therefore, in recent years, the fashion for the creative design of your summer cottage has been gaining more and more strength. Moreover, decorating flower beds is not the only possible direction for ennobling your dacha. There are a huge number of photos with ideas for giving.

We will tell you in detail below about the best ideas for giving your own hands.
craft ideas
In the decor of the site from improvised means, your main assistant should be your imagination. For example, plastic bottles can become both an original flower bed and guiding paths.
In addition, it is easy to create animals and birds from bottles and decorate your territory with them. Ordinary stones are also a good material for decoration. They are often used to frame their own pond.
Car tires have long been the best flower beds, but now they have learned to make swans and other animals from them.
Ideas for children's play areas
Dacha is a family place, and if so, then it is necessary to provide rest not only for adults, but also for children. And best of all, children will have their own play area.
If you have large trees growing on your site, they are well suited for creating a swing. Creating sandboxes, treehouses and slides: here is an incomplete list of interesting ideas for giving in a children's play area.
original fence
If a person is first evaluated by clothes, then dachas are judged by a fence. And the more unusual the idea of \u200b\u200bdecorating the fence, the more impressive the guests will be.
You don't need anything supernatural to give your fence its own face: just paint and imagination.
By cutting out stencils of pictures, and then transferring them to the fence, you can achieve impressive results. Any picture made to scale can become a stencil, it's just up to your taste and patience in coloring.
Flowerbed - the best decoration for a summer residence
One of the oldest, but never out of fashion, country decor solutions are flower beds. The original flower bed contains not only an unusual containing vessel (be it a tire, a cart wheel, a jug or a home-made container of a non-standard shape), but also the flowers that grow on it.
Therefore, it is necessary that the coloring of the flower bed is one composition with the planted flowers.
In addition, the flowers themselves show how they are looked after, and serve as an indicator of the diligence of the summer resident and his love for his garden.
Scarecrows are an original idea for giving. They are used by very few summer residents due to the stereotype of their use as a scarecrow. However, if you use the original decor in creating a scarecrow and not limit yourself to the standard scarecrow figure, you get a very unusual and eye-catching country decoration.

Decoration of the place of rest
In the summer, coming to the dacha, you want not to hump in the garden, but to relax in the fresh air. Therefore, the more comfortable and beautiful you arrange a place for rest on the site, the more pleasant it will be there.
You can place a lot of things in the recreation area, for example, your own pond. It is not difficult to make it, it is enough to dig a hole in size, cover it with a material that does not allow water to pass through (polyethylene will do), and decorate it beautifully with stones on the sides, then fill it with water - the pond is ready!
Also now they often arrange a barbecue area, gazebos in summer cottages, you can hang a hammock from a tree. Garden tiles for transitions greatly change the impression of ordinary walks around the site.
Some people prefer outdoor activities. For them, the installation of sports equipment in the country will be very to their liking - you can put a horizontal bar, bars and rings - we get a mini-gym in the fresh air.
How to decorate your site is up to you. With great imagination and due perseverance, the summer cottage is quite capable of even becoming John Tolkien's "hobby hole"! Or another fabulous corner, good luck!
