- a small bird, a squirrel and an owl will take root on a tree;
- a cheerful hedgehog can peek out from behind a bush;
- a large animal or figurine has a place on earth.
A charming donkey with a cart has impressive dimensions and would be appropriate on a plot of at least 6 acres. For its manufacture, you need to act according to the following plan:
- The frame of the sculpture is made of metal mesh PVC coated. The torso, head and legs are made of separate parts of the mesh with a cell of 50x50mm, rolled into rolls. different sizes. The parts are interconnected by pieces of wire.

- Cement hands are placed near low plants, soil is poured into the palms and flowers are planted.
Obviously, do-it-yourself metal figurines are rarely made due to the complexity of execution. The more interesting and valuable the specimens presented. The iguana is made from steel sheet, a couple of lovers is made of rebar, a shovel fit for an owl, and ants are assembled from a steel bar and fine mesh.

Country sofa.
A well-maintained dacha with their own hands gives a photo much more positive emotions from being there. We invite you to discuss another object that has a beneficial effect on the dacha environment. This patio is a recreation area, usually paved with stone or wood. It can be adjacent to the house or be at a distance from it, but preferably in the open. Although the choice of the final version of the performance of the patio will be based on the prevailing climatic conditions.
Summer residents have already appreciated the patio as a place for friendly and family gatherings for barbecue or aromatic tea. And the main criterion for gathering a large company is the convenience of each of those present.
The central element of the patio, in addition to the table, can be a spacious sofa made from pallets. “That doesn’t sound good,” you might think. However, take a look at the magnificent versions of his performance! And you will not notice how you are already mentally scrolling through the construction and design of the country sofa in your head.
And so, let's get down to business! To begin with, we thoroughly clean the surface of the pallets and eliminate all traumatic elements (chips, nails, etc.) using woodworking tools (jigsaw, hammer, saw, planer, hacksaw, etc.). The specific list depends on the quality of the source material.
Since the sofa will mainly be outdoors, consider impregnating pallets protective equipment. This will increase the service life, protect against mold and decay. And to assemble the structure together, you will need nails, corners, foam rubber and upholstery fabric.
The main stages of the implementation of this idea for a summer house with your own hands are as follows:
- drawing creation;
- assembly of a structure from pallets;
- sheathing of the facade and sides with plywood for the aesthetics of the structure;
- manufacturing soft cases and pillows.
By the way, a similar sofa can also be placed in a gazebo or on the veranda of a country house.

The most practical gardeners live in a constant need to make the most of the available fertile resources, especially in a situation with a small land plot. And this, believe me, is not uncommon.

An example of this is a vertical bed - an interesting and useful way house facade decorations. There is, however, some limitation - a southern or southeast / western wall is suitable for such a bed.
The basis of the whole structure is a frame made of picket fence, nails and wire. It is on it that our fruitful shoots will crawl up. The stems are fixed (as they grow) with textile ropes or cellophane tapes.

Do-it-yourself kindergarten site
Original, different plot kindergarten do it yourself- the exception rather than the rule. All places for preschoolers to play at one time were created like a blueprint, based on norms and rules. However, these rules can hardly be called incorrect, just besides the mandatory elements, you still need to take a little imagination, make it conceptual, attractive, so that each group has individual decorations and entertainment.
We need to talk about the rules of that before we consider certain design examples that relate to individual elements. Structurally, the playground (its dimensions are calculated based on the number of children in the group, and ideally, one child should have 7-9 square meters site) should be divided into several parts. A large and central part is occupied by the so-called playground for group classes. There are not only sports facilities here, but also a special coating, rubber or grass, so that kids can play sports here, play outdoor games, and so on. And already along the perimeter of this common area, you can build additional elements, such as a sandbox, sports equipment and horizontal bars, stumps, decorative vegetable garden and other components required for interesting plots in kindergarten. DIY summer adults can also add to the territory not only a flower garden or a decorative flower bed, but also make an additional canopy so that the bright summer sun does not interfere with the kids.

Let's remember the basics and apply the existing knowledge to the process of transforming a children's playground. First you need to draw a plan, marking out the size of the territory, its topography and all the permanent buildings that already exist and that will need to be beaten in the conceptual design.

If parents want to please absolutely all the children, then you can make a design in fabulous style, filling the site with crafts in the form of fairy-tale characters.
On the plan, in addition to the size of each of the playgrounds and useful objects, you also need to mark the direction of the shadow that is present at those moments when children play outside. It is best that a long afternoon walk is not overshadowed by excessive sun activity. Therefore, if it so happened that the area is very lit and there is little natural shade on it, you can develop roofs for the sandbox, fabric sheds for the summer period, as well as plant trees and shrubs that will provide the desired shade.
You also need to take care of lighting and other engineering communications but in a way that puts safety first. All wires not only need to be carefully insulated, but also generally removed from access and from the visibility zone. You also need to check the entire space for sharp corners, if the swings or attractions are wooden, then they should not leave a splinter, and if they are metal, then all connections should work perfectly, not have sharp edges, chips, pieces of crumpled or rusty metal.

Next to the sandbox, organize a small pantry and a box where you can put scoops, molds and other toys for sand creativity.
The second is very useful element– tables and chairs for creative outdoor activities. Here, after all, you can not only write, sculpt or draw, but also play games that are not mobile, but logical, developing quick wits and quick reactions. A canopy is installed above such tables so that classes can be held even when the weather is not very conducive to this.
Another mandatory element is a zone of physical education, active games and competitions. Here you can install horizontal bars, you can make a labyrinth or a zone for overcoming obstacles. In principle, such a zone is an excellent way to direct all irrepressible children's energy into a peaceful direction, so that after a walk they can fall asleep peacefully during daytime sleep.
In modern times, you can see such an interesting device as a health track.
