This project involves upcycling old car tyres to create a functional potting bench, ideal for both amateur and experienced gardeners.

Learn to upcycle old car tyres into a functional and robust potting bench for your gardening needs.

Create a Potting Bench with Car Tyres

Select Car Tyres

Choose three to four car tyres that are in good condition and free from major damage.

Thoroughly clean the tyres using soap, water, and a brush to remove any dirt or debris.

Measure and cut the wooden planks to fit across the tyre stack, creating a stable top surface.

Stack the tyres on top of each other. Secure them together using strong adhesive or screws.

Place the wooden planks over the tyres, ensuring they are level, and then screw them securely into place.

For added stability, consider attaching legs made from wooden beams or metal rods to the bottom tyres.

Sand any rough edges on the wooden planks and optionally paint the tyres and wood for a finished look.
