Transport is a constant success among boys, and even modern girls. Therefore, you can start by making a car for children. A car made from tires for a playground can be of various brands (types) - from very simple to quite complex.

Instructions for making a car from wheels

The most simple option will bury a steering wheel from a real car and a seat into a quadrangle made of tires.

It is better to choose a place for the site where the craft will be installed that is illuminated, spacious, and located close to the house. The best coverage There will be a backfill of sand or a lawn that will have to be cleared of stones and glass to protect the kids from injury.

Machine-shop

It won't be difficult to make it. To do this, after thoroughly cleaning and painting the board, it is secured between tires of the same size. These will be the rear wheels. The front ones can be done in the same way. But you can install only one wheel in the center so that the craft resembles a racing car.

The depth of the holes for the wheels of the car should be such that the latter are hidden up to the disk. Then transport will be sustainable. After covering them with soil, compact it well. It is better to dig in tires with rims. But, if they are not there, you can replace them with plywood to give the structure rigidity.

Linoleum is used to imitate flooring, but it can be replaced with plywood. To prevent the wind from picking up the linoleum, it is advisable to dig the steering wheel into the ground through it. The tilt of the steering wheel is selected in accordance with the height of a particular child.

Truck made from tires

And the next model is for the kids of the whole yard, because it allows you to travel with a large group.

What else will help make it look like a real car?

Doors attached to the craft will undoubtedly make the craft look like a real car. For a large number of children to play with the car, several rows of seats (2-3) are made. If there is an extra tire, make a spare tire by attaching it to the back and writing the number in paint.

A car roof covered with linoleum, in addition to making it look like a real car, will protect against sun rays and a little rain. To secure it you will need wooden blocks shaped like the letter “P”. You need 3 pieces in total. Two structures are installed in the rear part above the machine (it is better to dig them into the ground), the third is closer to the front. They are connected from above with bars to obtain a horizontal frame, onto which linoleum is secured on top with screws or nails.

Manufacturing involves cutting, so it is better to take very worn rubber with a longitudinal pattern. The first stage of work is marking. Draw a swan's neck on the tire as shown in the photo. It should take up approximately half the length of the tire. Next, draw the outlines of the head (length about 10 cm) and beak (slightly shorter). The tail will begin where the beak originates, and therefore will have a forked end. Make it the same width as the neck, and let the length be about 30 cm.

Now it's time to move on to cutting. Depending on the condition and thickness of the rubber, perform the work using a shoe knife, grinder or jigsaw. It is better to cut on both sides of the tire in parallel. Having finished cutting, we begin to turn the workpiece inside out.

Tire swan - master class

The next stage is strengthening the neck and tail. To do this, make two holes along these parts every 15 cm. You will thread metal staples into them that will hold the rigid rod. After this, the neck and tail need to be given a beautiful bend.

The final stage is painting. You can make yourself either a white or a black swan. Let the beak be red. That's it.

Glamorous flowerpot

For fast work It's better to choose the best tires possible larger diameter. Such blanks will significantly reduce the time spent on making tracks.

In addition to tires you will need wide boards, as well as screws or nails. From the tool you will need to prepare a large sharp knife, screwdriver or hammer.

The technology itself is not complicated and consists of the following stages:

1. Preparing rubber. Use a knife to remove the tire sidewalls. The remaining part is cut across the tread. The result should be a rubber strip. In this way you need to prepare required quantity material;
2. Fastening rubber to wood. Using a hammer and nails, or a screwdriver and self-tapping screws, the existing strips are attached on top wooden base future path.
3. Soil preparation. If there has been no precipitation for a long time, you will need to flood the ground under the places where the boards are laid with water. The condition of the soil should ensure that the boards do not sink into the ground;
4. Laying elements. The placement of track parts must be approached responsibly. In order for the structure to last a long time, you will need to carefully compact each part of it.

To give tire garden paths a more cheerful look, the rubber can be pre-painted. It is important that the coating is not slippery in winter or during rainfall. Otherwise there is a risk of injury.

Pool made from an old tire

An interesting option is pool from an old tire. For such a structure, you will need to look for a large tire, used on a large tractor or special equipment.

For work you will need the following materials and tools:

• Waterproof material;
• Glue for rubber;
• Degreaser;
• Putty-sealant;
• Scissors.

Since the bottom of the pool will consist of thin material, you should select an installation location in advance that will not contain sharp stones, branches or other objects that could damage the bottom or cause injury. On the other hand, this area should not be soft. Otherwise, the glued material will probably come off along the seam.

At the first stage, you will need to prepare the surfaces of the elements to be glued at the place of their future contact. To do this, you will need to clean them of fat using any suitable means.

Next, the cleaned surfaces are lubricated glue and connect. At the same time, you should not feel sorry for it, since excess can be removed, and if there is a deficiency, the pool may leak. When the glue sets, you will need to turn the wheel over so that the seam is under pressure.

2. cutting. It is carried out along the marked line when preparing the head and neck. The tail is cut in the shape of a triangle at the top of the sidewall, the sides of which go towards the tread. On the sides, between the tread and the drawn lines, three cuts are made for the wings.
3. Formation. In places where the side cuts are made, parts of the tires turn outward, forming wings. The tail arches in the same way. The wire is attached with two clamps to a long rubber strip at the base and at the top.
4. Painting. The main part of the figure is covered in white, and the beak will be red.
