Upend them and use them as trellis for climbing roses/vines...can also be used to create privacy screen around a patio, again with climbing something(s) on it...or use them as a backdrop for funky yard art -

Hang them as hard art. Paint them a fun color and mount pots of flowers in them -

If space allotters anchor them in a garden and grow flowering vines on them based on your hardness zone -

Weld some legs on, or have them welded, that are long enough to provide stability and voila, you have a trellis. -

If you have a storage building in the backyard, they might make a cute fence on the side facing your yard. And you could hang a lot of pots of plants on ten feet of railing. If that's not a bright enough area, run the railing out from your back door or patio. The plants would be convenient and easy to move around. Best wishes. -

Stand them up against a building or the house and hang potted plants on them!
