Original crafts. We make useful homemade products for summer cottages. Garden path from improvised materials
A summer cottage is the territory where you can give yourself the freedom to conduct numerous experiments and dream up plenty. This is manifested not only in interior design, but mainly in the design of the garden or vegetable garden. Inquisitive and inventive owners have not been guided by expensive and standard methods for arranging their plots for a long time, since there are many alternative solutions for virtually all areas of activity.
There are several varieties of vertical beds that allow you to optimize the use of free space. Custom designs are a great opportunity to create interesting design garden, orchard, suburban area.
This type of beds in most cases is used for growing ornamental plants or herbs.
Materials for manufacturing:
The length of the drainpipes is adjustable in accordance with the wishes of the owner of the site. However, bulky beds should not be made, as they can complicate movement around the territory.
Creating a bed
Stage 1. Create a container. To do this, we take a drainpipe, cut it in two lengthwise and put on special plugs on both sides.
Stage 2. We take the prepared metal holders, put them on the resulting frames for the beds.
Stage 3. We make holes in the pipe. They are made in those places where there will be metal fasteners.
Stage 4. We pass a cable or a strong rope through the holes made.
Stage 5. We fix the cable / rope with fasteners.
Stage 6. We fill the resulting beds with expanded clay and soil.
Stage 7. We plant plants in the beds.
Stage 8. We hang pipes to the chosen place. Sometimes a special wooden crossbar is placed for this, more precisely, a design in the shape of the letter “P”.
Step 9. Alternatively, you can make a special design for the pipes.
Important! A drainpipe bed is not resistant to strong gusty winds, so you should choose a place for it that is not blown from four sides by winds. Otherwise, the frame will quickly collapse, nullifying all your efforts.
A bed made from a plastic bag is another modification of vertical beds. It is extremely compact, functional and interesting in appearance. You can make such a bed in a couple of hours.
Materials for manufacturing:
- durable polyethylene film;
- sewing machine;
- priming;
- seedling.
In order for the bed to turn out to be strong, it is recommended to pay special attention to the thickness of the plastic film, which in this case will act as the "frame" of the structure. The minimum film thickness is 0.2 mm.
The process of creating a polyethylene bed
Step 1 . We cut out 2 rectangular pieces of film, the size of which corresponds to the size of the created beds. An allowance of one and a half to two centimeters should be left on each side. The recommended diameter of the beds is twenty centimeters.
Step 2. Sew the rectangles together, leaving only the top of the bag unconnected.
Step 3. We sew a handle to the future bed, the strength of which will withstand the weight of the bag filled with soil. It should also be noted that when watering, the weight will increase.
Step 4. Fill the bag with fertilized soil.
Step 5. We make horizontal cuts on the bag in increments of twenty centimeters. They are necessary in order to plant seedlings in the garden.
Step 6. We plant seedlings.
Step 7. Water the soil regularly and add the necessary fertilizers.
With these simple steps, you can get a cheap and useful garden bed.
An integral element of each suburban area is a compost heap. This is the place where all kinds of biochemical reactions take place that ensure the creation of fertilizers.
To create fertilizers that will satisfy all the requirements for them, several key steps should be carefully considered: creating a container and directly making the compost itself correctly. Let's talk about each of them in more detail.
Stage 1. We take eight supporting posts of the same length.
Stage 2. We process the lower part of the wooden posts with engine oil or tar.
Stage 3. We dig the posts into the ground so that they are reliable and stable. If the compost bin is located next to the fence, then 4 posts (that is, one side) can be attached to the fence. This will avoid having to dig 4 holes.
Stage 4. Between each two adjacent columns we nail the crossbars in such a way that in the end we get three independent sections. Be sure to leave gaps that will serve as ventilation holes.
Stage 5. In two sections, horizontally nail the boards to half the height of the pillars. In these places, it is planned to create two small doors.
Stage 6. There will be a large door in the remaining section, so only one board should be nailed. It should be located at the very bottom in a horizontal position, that is, like a regular crossbar.
Stage 7. Install the covers. To do this, you can use one large solid board.
Stage 8. We install the doors prepared in advance.
Stage 9. We provide doors with handles and latches.
Stage 10. We process wood using special impregnations.
Stage 11. We paint the box in any color that matches the preferences.
Many gardeners mistakenly believe that any components can be dumped into the compost heap. In fact, in order to create the right biofertilizer, the “ingredients” must be carefully selected.
Among the required components compost heap the following components:
- peat;
- ash;
- needles;
- tree branches;
- leaves;
- hay or grass;
- wood ash;
- plant roots;
- raw vegetables and fruits, etc.
All elements are randomly mixed in the heap. To speed up chemical reactions it is recommended to cover the pile with a tarp (this is especially true in the absence of a box).
Trips to the country with the family suggest the presence of entertainment elements on the site that will delight children. The most common way to occupy young summer residents is a swing.
Building a swing yourself is not an easy task, but quite doable. Of course, you can always take a stick, tie it with a rope and hang the structure on a tree, but this can hardly be called a full-fledged swing. Real craftsmen prefer to build comfortable structures with a comfortable seating area.
Structural components:
- two logs;
- strong rope.
Indicators:
- log diameter - 85 mm;
- log length - 700 mm;
- the distance between the ropes is 500 mm.
Making a swing
Stage 1. We stretch the ropes between the logs.
Stage 2. We wrap each log with ropes.
Stage 3. We release the ropes out.
Stage 4. We tighten the ropes by 3 knots.
Stage 5. We fix the swing on the tree.
Important: such a swing is designed for only one person.
Garden path from improvised materials
There are several types of garden paths that you can easily do with your own hands.
Step 1. Remove the sidewall from the tire using a knife or saw.
Step 2. Cut the tires.
Step 3. We line the space with corrugated stripes.
Step 4. Paint the track with paint.
Step 5. Sprinkle with stone chips.
This is an economical option for those who do not want to rack their brains and spend time on a full-fledged garden path. Tire track is usually used for vegetable gardens, as it easily fits into the ground.
Stage 1. We paint the corks in different colors.
Stage 2. We dig a small trench.
Stage 3. We drive in supports to strengthen the future track.
Stage 4. We construct formwork using boards.
Stage 5. We install spacers along the edges of the trench.
Stage 6. We place crushed stone deep into the trench and carefully tamp it down.
Stage 7. We make a solution of sand, cement, glue and water.
Stage 8. Pour the solution into the trench.
Stage 9. We press the plugs in random order. Smooth multi-colored stripes look interesting.
These are the simplest and quick ways make a garden path without purchasing expensive materials.
DIY tools
The expression “everything will come in handy on the farm” turns out to be as relevant as possible when it comes to canisters. From this plastic container, you can make a large number of indispensable tools that are actively used in the process of country work.
To make this tool, we only need a sharp knife and a container directly.
Stage 1. Cut off the bottom of the canister.
Stage 2. We mark the cut line for the scoop on the container so that the handle from the canister is the handle of the future tool.
Stage 3. Cut off excess material.
As a result of these simple steps, we get an excellent scoop with a comfortable handle.
Materials:
Manufacturing
Step 1. Thoroughly wash the canister so that no odor remains in it.
Stage 2. We cut the canister vertically into two parts.
Stage 3. We make a groove on the plank using a woodworking machine.
Stage 4. We apply glue to the plywood and insert it into the bottom of the canister.
Stage 5. We paint the resulting shelf with a can.
Of course, such a design will not survive heavy weight However, it is quite suitable for storing small parts.
Materials:
- 40 canisters;
- scissors;
- rope;
- paper;
- marker.
Stage 1. We pierce the top of the cans with a knife.
Stage 2. We make a stencil out of paper.
Stage 3. We apply it to the canister, circle it with a marker.
Stage 4. Cut out large holes with scissors.
Stage 5. We put the prepared canisters in several rows, tying each row by hooking the rope under the handles of the containers.
Stage 6. We tie the entire rows around the perimeter for greater strength.
Stage 7. If the cabinet is planned to be leaned against the wall, then we drill it to the surface.
Stage 8. We put heavy objects in the bottom row - stones or bricks.
The result is a fairly roomy and functional rack that will help get rid of the issue of storing many small parts.
Be resourceful and bold in implementing your ideas. Good luck!

Crafts made from old items and things that can be given a second life can make your home much more comfortable. Some made homemade products for household with their own hands can significantly save the home budget, make work easier or make the surrounding interior more interesting. And even if difficulties arise in the process, overcoming them will be worth it.
DIY for the home workshop
In almost any home there is always some set of tools necessary for the household. But sometimes situations arise when working in your own workshop or garage requires some kind of device that is either impossible to purchase in a store or is very expensive. In this case, the way out can be found by making it yourself.
Blacksmith's forge from a cylinder
This device for heating metal will become indispensable assistant in the home workshop. The forge can be safely used to make original items using artistic forging. These will be truly unique forged items.
For the bugle, it is best to use an empty gas cylinder with a capacity of 25 liters. Its ends are cut off by a grinder, and the hearth door and its back will be made from the cut parts. Inner part the cylinder is covered with refractory ceramic wool, which is able to withstand temperatures of more than 1200 0 C. From above it is coated with fireclay (lined), which can withstand temperatures up to 1500 0 C. Fireclay slabs or refractory bricks are laid on the bottom of the hearth after lining.
A hole is drilled from above and a small drive is inserted, which allows inserting the nozzle of a gas-powered burner, which can create a temperature of more than 1000 0 C in the furnace - quite sufficient to heat the metal to a certain temperature suitable for forging.
Collapsible garage crane beam
In the manufacture of such a lift, the cash costs will be much less than buying a factory model. For its manufacture, you will have to spend money only on materials, half of which, perhaps, can be found in the garage.
Materials needed to assemble the lift:
- Two racks - a profile pipe 100x100x2350.
- Cross bar - steel pipe arbitrary length with a diameter of 100 mm.
- Four supports for the rod - profile pipe 100x100x600.
- The basis and braces - a corner with regiments on 100 mm.
- Two metal rollers for the cable.
- Four wheels for movement.
For the lifting mechanism, it is best to use a hand winch with a worm gear with a maximum load of up to 500 kg, which is attached to one of the racks of the crane beam.
The design does not take up much space in the workshop, moves easily on hard surfaces and is quite convenient for removing the engine from the car.
Mobile tool rack
The main highlight of this rack is its small size., but at the same time it can accommodate a large number of tools, and if necessary, quickly move it to any place or adjacent room. It is very convenient to use such a rack in your workshop or when conducting construction and repair work in large rooms, especially when you need to frequently move tools.
The rack can be assembled on the basis of a collapsible plastic rack mounted on a self-made platform with wheels (trolley). The platform is made exactly to the dimensions of the rack from metal corner with shelves 45x45 mm or a sheet of plywood with a thickness of at least 10 mm. For movement, furniture metal wheels are used.
Additionally, it is possible to make and fix fasteners for building levels, extension cords and other tools that can be stored in a hanging position to the rack.
Help for the hostess
There is not always a financial opportunity to buy, for example, something from new furniture in a furniture store or place an order for its manufacture. But you can always get out of this situation by making the right thing with your own hands, while making it attractive and unique, using improvised means for this.
Cork kitchen apron
A kitchen apron is a wall surface located between the countertop and wall cabinets. Usually this part of the wall is lined with tiles. But many other materials can be used to cover it, for example, wine corks can be glued to the wall.
Such an exclusive decor looks quite great.
Before sticking, each cork is cut lengthwise into two halves with a sharp clerical knife. It is desirable to paint the wall black, which will emphasize the seams between the plugs.
Corks are glued to the wall using liquid nails in a checkerboard pattern or with a certain pattern, since it is unlikely that they will be laid out perfectly evenly, and curved rows will visually look disgusting.
The corks themselves are not afraid of moisture, but they quickly get dirty and are poorly washed, so it is best to close them with a tempered glass screen. True, you will have to spend a little money on it and order glass in a special workshop, where they will cut it to a given size and make holes for sockets and fasteners.
Glass is fixed to the wall with anchor dowels, which can be purchased at almost any hardware store.
Although an apron decorated with wine corks may be expensive pleasure but the result will be worth it.
The surface of the countertop, as well as the wall, can be decorated with corks and covered with tempered glass.
Hinged folding table
A folding table fixed to the wall allows you to save some space in the apartment. In the folded state, it can protrude from the wall at a distance of no more than 10 cm and does not interfere with anyone at all, but when unfolded, it can replace a full-fledged table.
There are many options where you can use a folding table fixed to the wall. Here are just a few of the most basic ones:
Shower for giving
There is probably nothing better than refreshing yourself under running water on a hot summer day, especially if he was working in the garden. Naturally, only a shower will solve this problem and relieve the fatigue that has accumulated during the day.
The shower can be installed independently without outside help, the main thing is to choose a place for it and decide on the type of shower cabin.
Three types of cabins stand out among summer showers, which you can freely build on your own:
Installation of a simple shower is done in this way:
- A shower cabin frame is being made, which can be assembled from metal, wooden beam or other improvised materials.
- On the roof of the assembled frame, a metal or plastic container for water, which can be from 50 to 200 liters.
- metal container it is desirable to paint it black for better heating of the water. Additionally, several electric heating elements can be installed in the container, then you can take a shower even in cloudy weather.
The booth can be sheathed with boards, plywood, slate, or simply covered with a tarpaulin or cellophane film with folding canopies.
To build on your own
The topic of construction or repair, probably, worries everyone. And, of course, everyone who deals with it wants to finish it as soon as possible with minimal financial costs. Therefore, if you want to save money, you can make some materials for construction on your own. For example, it can be wall SIP panels or such a useful tool as a vibrating plate, the need for which often arises for many owners of a personal plot.
Homemade SIP panels
For their manufacture, you need to prepare a flat, hard platform. After laying a sheet of OSB 10-12 mm thick on it with a rubber spatula with teeth, apply glue to it.
Then lay sheets of foam grade 25-30 on the glue. After that, an adhesive mass is applied on top of the laid foam, as well as on the bottom OSB plate, and the second sheet of OSB is laid on top.
If several stacked boards are being made at the same time, work should be done quickly until the adhesive has set. Usually in this way you can prepare no more than 4-5 panels at a time.
After harvesting, the formed slabs need to be pressurized with a press. Since at home, of course, there is no hydraulic press, it can be replaced with a thick plywood sheet laid on prepared SIP plates over the entire plane and loaded for 2-3 hours, for example, with several bags of cement, sand or other cargo. You can even use car, having driven onto a plywood sheet along a pre-made flyover.
After the glue has completely dried, the home-made panels are ready, they can be folded into a separate pile and proceed to the preparation of new panels. The manufactured panels should lie unloaded for another day, after which they can be used for their intended purpose.
Vibrating plate manufacturing
To make a homemade vibrating plate, you will need to prepare:
- An electric motor with an eccentric brand IV-98E, which is the main part of the vibrating plate.
- Steel sheet, at least 8 mm thick, 450x800 mm in size. It can be ordered at any metal base.
- Two pieces of channel no more than 400 mm long.
- An inch pipe for the handle and two rubber bushings for attaching it.
- Of the tools you will need a welding machine, a grinder and a set of wrenches.
From the narrow sides of the plate, stepping back from the edges by 80-100 mm, make an incision with a grinder to a depth of about 5 mm. After that, bend the edges towards the notch at an angle of approximately 25 0 and weld them by welding. Bends are needed so that the vibrating plate does not sink into the material compacted by it and moves freely along its surface.
Then, across the plate at a certain distance, calculated for mounting the electric motor, two channels are welded with the shelves down. Through advance drilled holes in the channel, with the help of M10 bolts, an electric vibrator is attached to them.
The tube handle is attached to the vibrator via soft rubber grommets, which can be purchased at an auto parts store or hardware store in the hardware department.
Thus, you can make a lot of useful things in the household with your own hands, spending on this only a part of the money that you would have to pay when buying a finished product. You just need to make some effort and have certain skills.
Since you have decided to become a self-taught electrician, then for sure after a short period of time you will want to make some useful electrical appliance for your home, car or cottage with your own hands. At the same time, homemade products can be useful not only in everyday life, but also made for sale, for example,. Actually the build process simple devices at home is not difficult. You just need to be able to read diagrams and use a tool for radio amateurs.
As for the first point, before proceeding with the manufacture electronic homemade products with your own hands, you need to learn how to read wiring diagrams. In this case, ours will be a good helper.
Of the tools for beginner electricians, you will need a soldering iron, a set of screwdrivers, pliers and a multimeter. To assemble some popular electrical appliances, you may even need a welding machine, but this is a rare case. By the way, in this section of the site we even talked about the same welding machine.
Special attention should be paid to improvised materials, from which every novice electrician will be able to make elementary electronic homemade products with his own hands. Most often, in the manufacture of simple and useful electrical appliances, old domestic parts are used: transformers, amplifiers, wires, etc. In most cases, it is enough for beginner radio amateurs and electricians to look for all the necessary tools in a garage or a barn in the country.
When everything is ready - the tools are assembled, spare parts are found and minimal knowledge is obtained, you can proceed to the assembly of amateur electronic homemade products at home. This is where our little guide will help you. Each instruction provided includes not only detailed description each of the stages of creating electrical appliances, but also accompanied by photo examples, diagrams, as well as video tutorials that clearly show the entire manufacturing process.

Nothing brings joy to the house like a thing created by oneself. Indeed, various homemade products for the home not only fill life bright colors, but also give the interior a uniqueness and a certain zest. And it is certainly impossible to forget about such a thing (even if it is a small trinket). And it’s not so important that these are homemade wood products for the home, paper or plasticine. There are millions of options and methods for making various gizmos, and today we will consider a few of them. So, how to make interesting homemade crafts for the home?
Shelf of tin cans
It would seem that such a trifle - a jar of coffee. However, even from it you can make a beautiful, convenient and useful shelf for storing household items. Often, various souvenirs and memorable photographs are stored in such containers. There is little practical use for this homemade product, but such jars look very harmonious.
Details on how to make this craft
1. First, holes are punched in jars with a drill or with a special ripper (in the upper and lower - 3 each, and in the walls of all the others - 2 points each).
2. Next, the jars are fastened together. Nuts and screws are used as fasteners small size. By the way, to get the desired (beautiful) result, you will need to have at least 5-6 of these jars.
3. After that, a hole for the screws is punched in the containers. In the bottom of the jars located in the upper part of the structure, 1-2 holes are made to attach the shelf to the wall. The finished homemade is screwed with a screwdriver or screwdriver. For this, dowels are driven into the wall first.
Everything, now homemade products for the home are being put into action. Be sure - various trifles in such jars will definitely not get lost. Thus, you kill two birds with one stone - decorate the interior and get rid of the mess in the house.
DIY for home - how to make a clock on a CD / DVD?
The clock on the CD is also very interesting and original version interior decorations.
As you can see, the design of this device is very original, and therefore it will look organically against the background of any interior (perhaps it will become its highlight). Such "smart" homemade products for the home are made in a matter of minutes. We will tell you more about all the stages below.
So, how to make a homemade clock with your own hands? To begin with, you will need to prepare the appropriate materials - a CD / DVD CD (you choose the design of its front part at your discretion) and a cover-case for it (the distance between the walls should be at least 0.05 centimeters). It is very important that the last part does not have any chips or scratches. To facilitate the work, you can purchase a ready-made watch and then simply replace the standard dial.
It must be arrow, otherwise it will not work to make a homemade product. You should also make numbers. There should be twelve of them in total. It can be cardboard, paper or plastic circles. Their thickness should not exceed two millimeters. Rhinestones can be used as decorations. You also need to prepare about 30-40 centimeters of wire, a piece of leather or fabric and Moment-type superglue. The basis of this whole structure will be a CD-ROM. We will remake it in the first place.
First you need to mark the disk into twelve equal parts and stick numbers on the marked points. In this case, the sectors should not go beyond the outer diameter of the device. How are homemade products made for the home? After the sectors, we proceed to the clock itself - remove the arrows and place them exactly in the center of our disk. By the way, before attaching them, you can stick some kind of interesting photo, which will make the design of the watch even more original.
To increase the size of the arrows, use thin metal strips. To achieve the desired result, it is enough to apply glue to them and carefully position the part evenly over the entire surface of the leading elements. The very same mechanism of the arrows is attached to the reverse side of the disk.
What to do next?
So, the base of the clock is almost ready. The next step is to make holes in the device along the contour of the arrow mechanism. The box of this disc is installed in a case. The mechanism itself is brought out through the hole and tightly closed. Now, with the help of a wire, an emphasis is made, which is glued to the back cover. To make it more durable, glue a piece of fabric or leather on top of it. This will make the emphasis not only strong, but also beautiful, since the excess part of the wire no longer gapes on the clock as before. Everything, a homemade watch from a CD is successfully made. It remains only to insert an AA battery and set the time. By the way, you can also make a battery with your own hands.
How to make a source of energy from a lemon?
As we know, this fruit contains a lot of acid, respectively, with the right actions, a lemon can be turned into a real mini-battery.
Of course, the charge from such a “battery” is not enough for work. household appliances, however, for operation or charging mobile phone this current is sufficient.
We make homemade products for the home - preparing tools to turn a lemon into a source of constant energy
During the work, you will need tools such as a knife, a soldering iron, a drill, an iron pin, as well as several pieces of copper wire in insulation. Among other items, it should be noted the need for one glass or glass, a pair of wooden sticks and the same number of push pins. And, of course, the lemon will be our main source of energy. You can also use an orange, but there is much less acid in it, so the charge from it will be minimal.
Instruction
First, cut the lemon in half. This is necessary so that he gives more acid, which is necessary for the lemon to be fixed in the glass so that it does not roll around the table. Further, copper and iron pins are inserted into its pulp around the entire perimeter at a distance of 0.5-1 centimeter. "Minus" we will have iron, and "plus" - copper.
Pieces of wire are attached to all pins with a soldering iron. They will act as a connector for the power supply. All elements are connected in series.
On final stage sticks are inserted into the battery compartment. Polarity is important here. Contacts are pressed against the contact group. The container remains open throughout the entire process of charging the device.
So we figured out how to do useful homemade for the home with their own hands. Good luck in your endeavors!
Interesting homemade for giving are waiting for you in this article. You will learn how to make a lawn mower from an old washing machine, make a sink, country shower, dryer from improvised materials.
Useful homemade products for giving - do-it-yourself washing
Not everyone has the financial ability to buy a Karcher car. If you can't buy it, why not invent it? Homemade car wash eliminates the need for plumbing, reduces water consumption, and thoroughly cleans your car, fence, garden path, or other items.
Here's what you need for such a homemade to give:
- plastic canister with a capacity of 5–20 l;
- hose connector kit;
- automobile nipple;
- piece of hose;
- silicone sealant;
- sharp knife;
- compressor or car pump;
- irrigation gun.
Take a set of hose nozzles, which includes 2 connectors, a 3/4 threaded fitting, a 1/2 adapter.
Here is the principle of operation of such a homemade product for giving: you connect the gun to the hose, attach this device to the bottom of the canister. A nipple will be built into its neck.
Fill the container with water, but not to the top. Then screw on the lid and pump air in. This will create pressure, and the water will run well when you start to pull the trigger of the gun. Here's how to assemble such a mini sink.
Carefully cut a hole in the lid with the tip of a knife. It should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the nipple stem. Also cut a circle of the desired diameter at the bottom of the sidewall of the canister.
Insert the nipple into the cap.
Now, helping yourself with the wire, place the coupling in the hole intended for it. Apply silicone sealant to secure the coupling to the canister.
It is necessary to tighten the cover and carry out other work only after the sealant has completely cured. Then you will connect one end of the hose to the water gun and the other to the canister.
Pour water into the container, but not to the top so that there is room for pumping air. But do not pump too hard, so that the canister does not deform and burst under pressure. See how the fitting should be screwed in and the connectors installed.
If everything is done correctly, then when you press the trigger of the water gun, the water will spurt out in a good stream. You can adjust the pressure by twisting the tip of the gun.
In the country, it is hardly possible to do without a shower. Try to make something unusual, but tropical, then you can enjoy even more water treatments.
How to make a rain shower from improvised materials for a summer residence?
If you have only recently acquired a plot and you do not yet have a washroom, then you can take a shower right on the street, enclosing a small area near the fence with a curtain. To make such rain shower, very few components are required, these are:
- bracket;
- wire;
- flexible hose;
- metal beer can;
- hose adapter;
- awl;
- nails.
Tie the top of the hose to the bracket with wire, and attach the other end to a water pipe or pump. When you lower the pump into a barrel of heated water, you will be able to take pleasant water procedures.
You can also make a rain shower head using a disc container. In its center, you need to fix the plastic adapter that is attached to the shower hose, and the central axis of the discs must be removed. Using an awl, make holes at the top of the lid. Glue all fasteners well with sealant. Such a nozzle is held on the bracket with a thick wire or on a rigid pipe.
If you have a desire to make a rain shower, then you can use plastic pipes for this.
You need to bring water to them, first make a lot of small holes with a soldering iron, and then enjoy the pouring drops. Children really like such water procedures.
But do not forget to first check the water in the container from which it will be poured into the shower, it should warm up in the sun.
And to make a stationary shower, you must first pour water into a tank or barrel, which will be located under the roof or on the roof of the building. On a warm summer day, the water here warms up well, and you can wash yourself plenty. To be able to do this in cooler weather, then it is necessary to provide a heating system in such containers.
Do-it-yourself country shower
Before installing it, you need to make a shower cabin. If possible, you can make it out of wood by placing this small structure on the base. Put wooden door or limit yourself to this shower curtain.
There are more simple options. If you have oilcloth, then use it.
Another option is to purchase impregnated fabric or use an old awning or tent.
If you made a fence from corrugated board and you still have materials, then try to make a shower for giving from them. metal pipes you need to dig in according to the markup, pour them with concrete. When it dries, cut sheets of corrugated board are welded to the racks. One of them will become the roof.
If you have little wooden planks, then implement the option shown in the next photo on the right. And on the left is a shower, which is made like a wattle fence. So the materials for it will cost almost free.
When the shower is ready, you can install a water tank on it. To make it warm up better, you can make a kind of metal or hose coil. Then the water will warm up more actively.
These and other homemade products for giving allow you to make the most of the available containers.
To be able to get warm water even when it is not heated by the sun, use electric heating. For this you can plastic barrel position vertically or horizontally. Then it will be necessary to mount the ten on one side, and on the other? water inlet fitting. Make an overflow hole so that excess liquid flows out, and you can see that the container is already full.
Now it remains to install the tank. Usually, a shower roof is used for this. You can put a flat tank here, made of iron or plastic. You can also make a soul canister from a metal or iron barrel. If you need to heat the water, then a heating element is mounted in the barrel.
Check out other examples of what can be done on personal plot with your own hands.
Interesting homemade products for giving with your own hands
Garden tools are very necessary for working on the ground. Often in the store they sell not very high-quality sets. After a short use, the handle of the shovel breaks off, or the teeth of the chopper are bent. Therefore, if possible, try to make tools with your own hands.
Take:
- cutting;
- fragment of a water pipe;
- scrap from a two-handed saw;
- screws;
- screws;
- fragment profile pipe section 3 cm.
To make a blade, take a piece of a two-handed saw and draw the outlines of a future chopper. Punch two holes.
At the same distance and the same diameter, you need to make 2 holes on the chopper itself, and then cut out a fragment from a two-handed saw.
Drill these holes with a drill and a drill designed for metal work. Connect these two parts with rivets, which are screws.
Now drill a hole in the top of the chopper to attach the handle here.
Make also a scoop, which is very interesting to work in the beds. Then such homemade products for giving will allow you to get a very durable set of tools.
Saw off the desired piece of the handle with a grinder and begin to unbend its part with a chisel.
Then, helping yourself with lever tools, straighten this part almost completely.
It remains to work with a hammer so that the scoop blade acquires the desired shape. Using a felt-tip pen, draw the outlines of its working part and cut it out with a grinder.
Using an abrasive wheel, clean the edges of the shovel and make them more even. Now process the tool with an emery petal wheel. That's how shiny this shovel will become.
Also drill a hole in it for the handle, then insert it and secure with a screw.
Cover the cuttings of both tools with an antiseptic, and then with varnish. Now you can use the tools for their intended purpose. If you want, follow the same principle to make a cultivator for beds.
It is very exciting to create such things for giving with your own hands. Maybe after you make the tools, you want to make a device on which you can dry part of the harvest. See how one gardener did it.

Take self-tapping screws for this. In this case, on each side there are 4 wooden blocks for 4 baking sheets.
An absorber is installed in the dryer. Take sheets of metal and paint it black. Use heat resistant paint. When it dries, put this blank on the bottom of the dryer.
For the absorber, take a thick aluminum or copper sheet, in extreme cases, steel. These materials conduct heat well.
Now you need to sheathe the dryer from the outside, make the roof transparent, made of polycarbonate. Then they will penetrate well here Sun rays. You can also use glass. Cover the ventilation windows with mosquito nets to keep insects out.
Attach hinges and a locking mechanism to the door. Fasten the door in place. See what a wonderful beautiful and roomy dryer turned out.
