How can you use old wooden wheels for landscape design - ideas
WOODEN WHEELS FOR THE BODY ARE EXTREMELY PLASTIC MATERIAL AND ORGANICALLY COMPLETE IN CANWA OF PRACTICALLY ANY GARDEN STYLE
As a rule, garden wheels are entirely made of wood, but there are also specimens fortified with metal. First enough to cover a special impregnation, paint or varnish for outdoor work, and the second will have to take care of the metal parts separately. They are also selected protective coatings (with color or colorless).
You can make a wheel and products with it bright or under the color of valuable wood - or leave it as it is, taking into account the subsequent graying of the wood from external influences. It all depends on the design of the landscape, in which the product will be "prescribed". So, on a natural lawn, in a flower bed and a curb with bells, chamomiles and cereals, the natural gray color of old wood looks very realistic. It is also in the underlined decorative garden with freshly painted buildings visually make the element alien, even if it fits perfectly in the thematic plan.
HEALING PROPERTIES
Until the middle of the last century, carts were an ordinary vehicle, and the old wheels did not decorate the garden. Nevertheless, the wooden wheel in antiquity was attributed to many conflicting magical properties.
It was believed that it is a valuable guardian and a symbol of the Sun or, on the contrary, a haven of witches. It was used in rituals and at home; for example, to improve the germination of seeds they were poured through the wheel hub. And also burned in ritual bonfires, and getting rid of evil spirits.

Option 1 - unpretentious
The simplest solution would be to install the wheel in a flower garden or a composition, that is, an imitation of the cart's spare parts that have flown off the cartwheel and rolled into the roadside thickets. In this case, do not install the wheel exactly - the more carelessly exposed, the more natural and organic it will look in your garden.
To increase the expiration date, it is necessary to minimize the contact of the wheel parts with the soil.
To do this, the wheel is covered with protective impregnation from moisture and putrefaction, put on gravel or sprinkled on a low stand, not visible behind the plants, or a pin made of metal or plastic. If the wheel is small, you can add to it a similarly painted wooden pot or tub, part of the fence, a wattle fence.
Option 2 -decorative
The wheels themselves are a very strong decorative element. Even the most trivial construction with their inclusion will acquire an original look.
Enough pair of wheels on the sides, so that the usual box-screen for the septic tank turned into a squat car. The same wheels, but already bolted to a bench or a swing seat, will not only become comfortable armrests, but will also give the products a stylish look. The round shape of the wheels stands out well against the general background of the product or construction, of which part is, so they do not require additional color highlighting.

Option 3 - Practical
If you treat yourself to practical truckers, and for the wheel you do not have the role of a pretty trinket, then apply it for its intended purpose.
That is, as wheels for a garden wheelbarrow or a cart that can be used as a mobile gardener's desk (with shelves and drawers for a small tool), a hive stand, a bucket shelf and leks, as well as flowerpots and pots . In this case, the wheels must be working, that is, it is good to spin and keep on the axis, do not crack from the weight of the full wheelbarrow.
Both wheelbarrows and carts are also convenient because they can be moved from place to place. This is required, for example, for pouring grass under them, changing the dislocation of the flower accent. Often, the wheel, replacing the wheel, serves to recruit water from a well or a flower stand (in the case when a wheelbarrow or a cart is filled with flower pots), for which it is attached to one of the ends of the gate pin.
