In spring and summer, it is especially difficult to force yourself to do something in the country or at home. After all, the weather is so good, you want to go for a walk, go out with your family for a picnic, or at least just lie down in a hammock. But we have prepared for you several budget homemade products that you can handle in less than an hour. And your garden will shine with new colors. Business before pleasure!
Swing
What could be better than a summer swing! If you have a large enough tree on the site, then it will not be difficult to make them. And "children" of all ages will rejoice!
The classic of our childhood is to hang a tire on a tree. Children, of course, have fun, but an adult is not very comfortable. Therefore, we propose to make a full swing, using a thick, strong sheet of plywood as a seat, especially since almost everyone has it. If you're interested in reading how to quickly make a great swing using plywood or pallets, please vote below. If there are enough people willing, we will definitely write a separate article!
The most important thing in swing design is using the correct rope and knotting skillfully. We strongly recommend not to save on the rope and, in case you are not going to remove the swing for the winter, it is MANDATORY to replace it periodically. The rope is frayed quite easily, and swelling from water and subsequent drying plays a key role in this.
Bird feeders
The feeder can be a very beautiful addition to the landscape design of the summer cottage. Of course, if you do not do it like a blooper. According to the drawing in the photo, you can easily make an excellent feeder, so go ahead!
Tip 1. Make holes in the bottom so that excess water that can get into it can easily drain out.
Advice 2. Be sure to put the corner on the top of the roof (in the drawing, detail No. 9). This is very important as moisture can destroy the structure.
Otherwise, the construction scheme is very simple. And you can do it for sure if you follow the drawing.
Ball magic
This idea came up about two years ago on Instagram. Now, hardly anyone will say whose it was originally, but it is indisputable that everyone immediately liked it.
They buy multi-colored glass balls, and then on any wooden surface, for example, on a fence, parts of a gazebo or a gate, holes of the appropriate size are drilled, into which the balls are then inserted. The fun begins when the sun's rays pass through the multi-colored glass.
No photograph can fully convey the magical effect, but it is almost impossible to find indifferent.
Garden decoration
We have already written an article about homemade products for your garden, which will make it easy to decorate... We strongly recommend that you read it. But we want to note right away that various variants of hanging plants aroused great interest. Therefore, we recommend one more design. Let's call it "vertical garden". By hanging a few pots of flowers, as shown in the picture, you can add a stunning "greening" effect to the view from your window or gazebo.
DIY fountain
How can a fountain be budgetary, you ask, because this is exactly what the title says. Dear friends, we have already written an article about how to make it at your dacha... It turned out to be quite popular, and some designs are really cheap! Here we will tell you about the easiest way to arrange it. Take a basin or bucket and place a pump in it (it will cost 1000 rubles). Then dig the structure into the ground and overlay it with decorative stones. Ready.
