The old laminate left after the renovation will still be useful in the household. If there was no use for it in a city apartment, then at the dacha the boards will definitely serve a good purpose, you just have to work a little magic on them. Of course, you will also need additional tools and mounting material.
Dining area in the garden or in the house
For a city apartment, laminate furniture may not be very suitable, but for a dacha it will be just right. A brutal table with scuffs and several chairs will brighten up summer evenings in the open air. Additional comfort will be provided by creating a podium from old flooring. Timber or metal is used as table supports; in this case, the product will be durable and reliable. You can use such furniture not only in the garden, but also in the country house. In this case, the table can echo the accent wall, for which they also used reclaimed laminate.
Container for garden flowers
Laminate can be used to make a container for garden plants. Container planting always gives the garden a more well-groomed and organized look. Plants with hanging shoots will look especially good in a tall box. For example, by planting several bushes of ampelous petunia in such a “flowerbed,” you can get a lush cascade of bright fragrant flowers by mid-summer. To prevent the walls and bottom from rotting, they are covered with thick polyethylene to protect them from moisture.At the bottom of the box, you need to place a high drainage layer of expanded clay so that the roots of the plants do not suffer from stagnant moisture. Even scraps of material are suitable for such a product.
garden path
Wood-fiber waste boards are great for making garden paths. You don’t have to spend money on old laminate; it’s easy and quick to install. First you only need to cut the boards into pieces of the required length. The material will be used more economically if the laminate is laid not continuously, but at certain intervals. In this case, the base of the path is made of gravel, and the boards are laid on top. This coating harmonizes with any garden style and can last faithfully for several years.
Drawer for vegetables and fruits
Gardeners know how difficult it is to find a place in the country even for temporary storage of the harvest. Laminate is quite suitable for making boxes for vegetables and fruits. Even a person who does not have special skills can put together such a box. The storage will need a lid to prevent water from getting inside when it rains. For greater attractiveness, the side surfaces can be painted in a bright color. In this case, the box will also perform a decorative function.
The reuse of old things has received a special term - upcycling. Environmentalists have long been fighting to reduce the volume of garbage and believe that every conscious person is obliged to join the newfangled trend. By reusing building materials, you can not only reduce the harm caused to nature, but also get economic benefits, which is also nice.
