Steps

Clean the Tires
Begin by thoroughly cleaning the tires to remove dirt, debris, and any residues. Allow the tires to dry completely.
Stack the Tires
Stack two or more tires on top of each other, depending on the desired height of your storage box.
Secure the Tires
Drill holes through the stacked tires and use bolts and nuts to secure them together, ensuring stability.
Create the Base
Cut a piece of plywood to fit the bottom tire. Attach it using screws or adhesive, creating a solid base for the storage box.
Create the Lid
Cut another piece of plywood to fit the top opening of the tires. Optionally, attach a handle for easy opening and closing.
Paint and Seal
Paint the entire structure using outdoor paint. Once the paint is dry, apply a weatherproof sealant to protect your storage box from the elements.
Final Touches
Add any additional features such as rope handles, locks, or decorative elements to enhance the functionality and appearance of the storage box.
