Soviet refrigerators were practically indestructible, so, probably, in every house, garage or shed there is such a unit. If you have already replaced the refrigerator with a new one or it is inoperative - do not rush to throw it away, you can find many unusual uses for it.
For a summer cottage
As a rule, there is not always enough space on the garden plot to store the necessary equipment. Wooden cabinets quickly deteriorate due to bad weather. But by placing an old refrigerator on the site and adding shelves to it at your own discretion, you can get a convenient waterproof cabinet. If desired, it can be decorated, for example, repainted or covered with a fabric mesh. By the way, a gas bottle fits perfectly in the refrigerator!
If you dig the refrigerator into the ground with the door up, you get a very convenient and budget option for storing vegetables.
In addition, an old refrigerator can be used to make a great cupboard for chilling drinks on a hot summer day. To do this, it must be put on legs or a frame and positioned with the door up. You get a table with a reclining table top, where everything you need to have at hand during a picnic or barbecue, including food and drinks, protected from the sun, is conveniently placed.
If you seal up all the technical holes inside the case with sealant or cement and separate the door from the refrigerator, you get a large box that is ideal for growing various garden crops or for creating an ornamental pond.
Another interesting option: remove the door from the refrigerator and place it on its side, you get a cozy house for the dog.
It turns out that you can even make a smokehouse from an old refrigerator! This idea is, of course, crazy, but not as complicated as it might seem. Ideally, you need to make a good range hood and thermometer. If you are interested in this topic, we will write a separate article, the material is already there. Vote!
