Do you have some old tires that you are trying to repurpose for a new use? We share 10 creative ways to reuse old tires for the outdoors to give you some great ideas.
Tires are an amazing, versatile item that gets thrown in the dump all of the time when you can find a plethora of great DIY uses instead. There is no need to toss those tires, but put them to good use in your yard for a pretty garden, for fun play, or even for practical gardening purposes. It’s really crazy just how many creative ways you can use old tires.
Tires are expensive and so finding a way to use them after they are no longer driveable is smart! If you don’t have old tires and you want to implement some of these projects, you can ask on social media if anyone has old tires they no longer need. Because you can’t just simply throw them away, but have to intentionally dispose of them properly, many people will have them hanging out in their garage waiting for the day they can dispose of them properly. If you can’t find them this way, visiting a junkyard will almost guarantee that you can find some old tires.
When you are preparing old tires for your next project, you do want to clean them up nicely. We have just used car/tire wash specific cleaners from the store. You can make your own cleaner and save money too, but depending on what you are using them for, a good tire/car specific car wash mixture will do a very nice job in cleaning them!
Today, we are sharing 10 ideas for your yard! Which of these ideas is your favorite?

Such a fun post! We love the idea that our tires can be upcycled and reused when they’re done getting you where you need to go.
