Build a Greenhouse Base Using Car Tyres

Prepare the Site

Select a flat, sunny area for your greenhouse. Remove any debris, rocks, or vegetation. Level and compact the ground to ensure stability.

Drill Drainage Holes

Using a power drill, create several drainage holes in the bottom of each tyre to prevent water accumulation.

Place the Tyres

Arrange the tyres in a single layer, creating the desired shape and size of your greenhouse base. Ensure the tyres are evenly spaced and aligned.

Fill the Tyres

Fill each tyre with soil, gravel, or sand. Compact the fill material to create a solid and level surface for the greenhouse construction.

Level the Surface

After filling the tyres, use a level to ensure the entire surface is even. Add or remove fill material as necessary to achieve a perfectly level base.
