Practical DIY crafts for a summer cottage made from plastic bottles have become widespread due to the high availability of the material and ease of processing.
A summer cottage is an area where you can give yourself the freedom to conduct numerous experiments and dream to your heart’s content. This manifests itself not only in interior design, but mainly in the design of a garden or vegetable garden. Inquisitive and inventive owners have long been no longer guided by expensive and standard methods for arranging their plots, since there are a lot of alternative solutions for virtually all areas of activity.
There are several types of vertical beds that allow you to optimize the use of free space. Non-standard designs are a great opportunity to create interesting design garden, vegetable garden, summer cottage.
This type of beds is in most cases used for growing ornamental plants or herbs.
Materials for production:
The length of the drainpipes is adjusted in accordance with the wishes of the owner of the site. However, you should not make bulky beds, as they can complicate movement around the area.
Creating a bed
Stage 1. Create a container. To do this, take a drainpipe, cut it in half lengthwise and put special plugs on both sides.
Stage 2. We take the prepared metal holders and put them on the resulting frames for the beds.
Stage 3. We make holes in the pipe. They are made in those places where metal fasteners will be located.
Stage 4. We pass a cable or strong rope through the holes made.
Stage 5. Fix the cable/rope using fasteners.
Stage 6. Fill the resulting beds with expanded clay and soil.
Stage 7. Plant the plants in the beds.
Stage 8. We hang the pipes to the selected location. Sometimes a special wooden crossbar is installed for this purpose, or rather a structure in the shape of the letter “P”.
Step 9: Alternatively, a special design can be made for the pipes.
Important! A bed made of drainpipes is not resistant to strong gusty winds, so you should choose a place for it that is not blown from four directions 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 production:
- durable polyethylene film;
- sewing machine;
- priming;
- seedling.
In order for the bed to be strong, it is recommended Special attention pay attention to thickness polyethylene film, which in this case will act as the “framework” of the structure. The minimum film thickness is 0.2 millimeters.
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 bed being created. An allowance of one and a half to two centimeters should be left on each side. The recommended diameter of the bed is twenty centimeters.
Step 2. Sew the rectangles together, leaving only the top part of the bag unconnected.
Step 3. We sew a handle to the future bed, the strength of which will allow it to withstand the weight of the bag filled with soil. It should also be taken into account 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. Plant seedlings.
Step 7. Regularly water the soil and add the necessary fertilizers.
With these simple steps you can get a cheap and useful garden bed.
An integral element of every summer cottage is a compost heap. This is the place where all sorts of biochemical reactions take place to create fertilizers.
To create fertilizers that will satisfy all the requirements placed on them, several key steps should be carefully considered: creating the container and directly correct production the compost itself. Let's talk about each of them in more detail.
Stage 1. Take eight support posts of the same length.
Stage 2. Treat the bottom of the wooden posts with motor oil or tar.
Stage 3. We dig the posts into the ground so that they are reliable and stable. If compost bin will be 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 posts we nail the crossbars so that we end up with three independent sections. Be sure to leave gaps that will serve as ventilation holes.
Stage 5. In two sections, we nail the boards horizontally to half the height of the pillars. In these places it is planned to create two small doors.
Step 6. The remaining section will have a large door, 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. Install the pre-prepared doors.
Stage 9. We provide the doors with handles and latches.
Stage 10. We process the wood using special impregnations.
Stage 11. Paint the box in any color that suits your preferences.
Many gardeners mistakenly believe that any components can be dumped into a compost heap. In reality, 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 a heap. To speed up chemical reactions It is recommended to cover the pile with a tarpaulin (this is especially true if there is no box).
Trips to the dacha with the family require the presence of entertainment elements on the site that will delight children. The most common way to keep young summer residents occupied is a swing.
Building a swing yourself is not an easy task, but it is 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 comfortable place for sitting.
Structural components:
- two logs;
- strong rope.
Indicators:
- log diameter – 85 mm;
- log length – 700 mm;
- distance between ropes – 500 mm.
Making a swing
Stage 1. We stretch the ropes between the logs.
Stage 2. Wrap ropes around each log.
Stage 3. Let the ropes out.
Stage 4. Tighten the ropes to 3 knots.
Stage 5. Attach the swing to the tree.
Important: this swing is designed for only one person.
Garden path from scrap materials
There are several types garden paths, which 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. Line the space with corrugated stripes.
Step 4. Paint the path with paint.
Step 5. Sprinkle with stone chips.
This economical option for those who don’t want to rack their brains and waste time on a full-fledged garden path. Tire paths are usually used for vegetable gardens, as they are easily laid in the ground.
Stage 1. Paint the corks in different colors.
Stage 2. Dig a small trench.
Stage 3. We drive in supports to strengthen the future path.
Stage 4. We construct the formwork using boards.
Stage 5. Install spacers along the edges of the trench.
Stage 6. Place crushed stone deep into the trench and compact it thoroughly.
Stage 7. Make a solution from sand, cement, glue and water.
Stage 8. Pour the solution into the trench.
Stage 9. Press in 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 comes in handy around the house” turns out to be more relevant when it comes to cans. From this plastic container you can make a large number of indispensable tools, which are actively used in the process of dacha work.
To make this tool, we only need a sharp knife and the container itself.
Stage 1. Cut off the bottom of the canister.
Stage 2. Mark a cut line for the scoop on the container so that the handle of the canister is the handle of the future tool.
Stage 3. Cut off excess material.
Due to these simple actions we get an excellent scoop with a comfortable handle.
Materials:
Manufacturing
Step 1. Wash the canister thoroughly so that no odor remains in it.
Stage 2. Cut the canister vertically into two parts.
Stage 3. We make a groove on the board using a woodworking machine.
Stage 4. Apply glue to the plywood and insert it into the bottom of the canister.
Stage 5. Paint the resulting shelf using a spray can.
Of course, this design will not withstand a lot of weight, but it is quite suitable for storing small parts.
Materials:
- 40 cans;
- scissors;
- rope;
- paper;
- marker.
Stage 1. Pierce the top of the canisters with a knife.
Stage 2. Make a stencil from paper.
Stage 3. Apply it to the canister and outline it with a marker.
Stage 4. Cut out large holes using scissors.
Stage 5. We stack the prepared canisters in several rows, tying each row by hooking a rope under the handles of the containers.
Stage 6. We tie all the rows around the perimeter for greater strength.
Stage 7. If you plan to lean the cabinet against the wall, then drill it to the surface.
Stage 8. Place heavy objects - stones or bricks - in the bottom row.
The result is a fairly spacious and functional rack that will help get rid of the problem of storing many small parts.
Be resourceful and bold in implementing your ideas. Good luck!

This makes the maintenance process easier, and the garden bed looks more attractive and interesting. It is possible (or even recommended) to use such structures on soils poor in nutrients.
Homemade products for the garden involve the use of scrap materials. Therefore, to construct the box, you can use boards left over, for example, from building a house. If you don't have them, you'll have to purchase them at the store. A box of arbitrary dimensions is constructed from them. The dimensions will depend on the size of the plot, its style and the plant that is planned to be planted there. The height of the side is made approximately to the knee, so that the layer of fertile soil is thicker.
A metal mesh with a small cell is attached to the bottom of the manufactured box. It will provide protection against the penetration of rodents and moles.

A hose is put on it and secured with a clamp. After applying pressure to the system, the nozzle spins and water is sprayed.
Tire compost bin
Old tires from passenger cars are one of the most popular and available materials for making homemade items for the garden. You can even make them compost pit. You only need 4 of them.
