Lots of old tires - repurposing ideas?

Another option to using them as a yard decoration is to donate them to boys&girls club or church group camps. These organizations rely heavily on donations as a resource, and tires can always be used in outdoor obstacle courses or similar physical fitness climbing activities and games.

Look up pinterest - old tires. Planters - Swings - Motorbike - Horse etc.....

Then you can plant in them...flowers or veggies. Some paint them. We all know about tire swings, kids love. Then the options of Flipturn are great!

I have seen some laying on their side (think hole touching ground in the center) with the top side slit from center to tread and peeled back. I do not know how they got those "wedges" to remain pealed back. Then the tires were filled with soil (I don't know if there were holes drilled in the bottom side for drainage or not.) and filled with blooming flowers.

i just saw these on Facebook!

Here are some cute ideas:

Sharon that's awesome! I was going to suggest painted planters or a swing for your kids!

Use them as flower planters in the yard. I would use 1/3 peat, perlite & vermiculite mix, bit of sand (for drainage). Stack 2 or 3 tires and fill them with soil. If you paint them, the paint will start too crack shortly from weather. I understand there is a rubber based paint on the market, but have never tryed it.

cut them into sections and line them for a garden border

Old tires are toxic, having lots of bad chemicals including carcinogenic benzene. Dispose of them. I take mine to Les Schwab to be recycled.

I agree with Sharon on this one, since you know the tires are old and probably beginning to break down, disposal is the safest option. If unsure where to take them, ask a local tire company where they take theirs.

The black rubber on those 'Teletubby-like' chairs looks very dark and new. I am wondering if those tires are new, and not used??
