one tire at a time? Well ok ... maybe not "our" kingdom ... but the tires will certainly lend themselves to animal houses, coops & such here on the ranch. They will make great walls and even greater pillars. From the simple to the more complex, it is free building materials that helps keep our landfills a little less full.
Tire companies pay to recycle their tires. We could go in, haggle & come under the bid of who ever they pay ... but why? We're just blessed to receive FREE building materials!!!
We get tires delivered by the truck load thanks to a friend of ours. e makes sure to bring them as often as possible. In effort to ensure our place doesn't start looking like a junk yard, the tires are stacked, immediately ... according to size. We're thinking about all kinds of structures ... we even joked abut making a pool today. What? It could happen LOL
Are they safe to build with? Yes, contrary to what so many think.

Fire safe? Yep .. because they are covered with natural materials made from the earth, they can be fire proof.
The pile in the picture looks small ... but ... it's only one half of one delivery.
Things we'll be building:
- Barn
- Chicken Coop
- Storage Shed
- Hay "Covering"
- Pool (yes, you saw right ... a pool ... keep a watch for this one)
- A "foundation" for our house
Stay tuned!
I use tires in my garden. They make great mini-raised beds, especially for things that will climb...just put stake(s) in the middle of each one.
ReplyDeleteAs the daughter of a man who builds custom pools for living, I can't wait to see a pool made out of tires! Sounds cool!
