Appliances for home and garden. We make useful homemade products for a summer residence
All the owners of a summer house once think about decorating it, bringing something special into the atmosphere. Of course, you can go to specialized stores and buy whatever your heart desires. But if summer residents want their place of rest to be unique and inimitable, then it will be much more interesting to make decorations with their own hands. Jewelry made by yourself will give the owners both a creative mood and aesthetic pleasure.
We choose original ideas for giving
Each owner of a summer house, if desired, can find a lot of different ideas for decorating his site. For the manufacture of most scenery, only improvised means and minimal costs will be enough. And old, unnecessary furniture and interior items will inspire creativity even more. Often, seemingly completely useless and forgotten things can come in handy. Country designers use in their work everything that comes to hand: broken old furniture, unnecessary toys, various bottles and utensils, car tires, leftover building materials and much more.
Not a single summer cottage is complete without intricate interesting flower beds. You can add uniqueness to flower arrangements by planting them in old containers. It can be barrels, pots, and even carts. Many summer residents build various fences for flower beds.
Cosiness will always be added by original paths at their summer cottage. They are made from timber or stone. And the rest of the materials can always be used for the construction of the next composition.
Bottles and plastic jars are especially popular with country designers. From them it is easy and simple to build a lot of interesting sculptures, decorations for flower beds, borders. There are no limits for imagination here.
Be sure to place a bird feeder in the country. Children usually love to watch birds. And with a bird feeder, birds will be a frequent guest at their summer cottage. It can be made from a plastic bottle, and from an unnecessary block of wood, and from twigs.
Without much difficulty, you can make a variety of figures that will bring comfort and individuality to the country atmosphere. For their manufacture, you can use a variety of design solutions and materials. For example, polymer clay, remnants of mounting foam, gypsum and other building materials. One has only to start creative work and it will immediately become clear that nothing is impossible.
Crafts from improvised means
The most popular among improvised materials for crafts are bottles, various plastic jars and boxes. Before starting work, you should definitely think over the details so that the result is really beautiful, and does not resemble a bunch of plastic waste.
Plastic bottles are easy to cut, it is easy to give them the desired shape. And if you cover the result of the work with suitable paints, you get bright, unique decorations for giving. For example, you can make figures of animals (pigs, cows, bees) or fairy-tale characters. By making such decorations, you can unleash your creative potential, and each time the crafts will be more and more perfect. With a large amount of unnecessary plastic, not only crafts are made from it, but also pieces of furniture.
If there is a glass cutter among the tools, then you can make original pots from glass bottles. Such crafts look very stylish and easily fit into any design. Candle holders can be made in the same way.
Bottle caps can also be useful for decorating furniture, decorative fences, creating compositions and even curtains. You can also use chocolate egg toy containers.
The remains of natural stone are perfect for decorating a pond in the country. A small pond will bring a unique comfort to the atmosphere of the cottage. Around will look good flower beds, crafts or a recreation area. If the pond turns out to be large enough, then it can be decorated with an interesting bridge.
Every motorist will always have old tires. You can simply paint them and make bright bases for a flower bed out of them, or you can show your imagination and cut out various shapes.
Arrangement of a play area in the country
While landscaping and decorating a summer cottage, do not forget about the children. They need their own territory for games and entertainment. Children of all ages love swings. They can be made from ordinary boards and ropes, or you can use metal chains and old tires painted in bright colors. From improvised materials it is easy to build slides, swings, rocking chairs. The main thing is that everything is strong and reliable.
Toddlers will definitely need a sandbox. Her borders will look interesting from multi-colored bottles or wooden log cabins. The sandbox in the form of a ship or car will look original. It is recommended to make an awning over the sand to protect from the bright sun.
Children will certainly enjoy having their own playhouse in their summer cottage. Benches, a table or other furniture can be placed inside. Everything depends on fantasy. The house can be decorated with a bright flower bed or homemade decorations. Usually the guys themselves are happy to take part in decorating their territory.
Ideas for decorating a fence in the country
The fencing will best emphasize the uniqueness of the suburban area. The fence is not only the protection of the territory, but also the so-called calling card of the owners.
A simple wooden or iron fence is commonplace. It must be decorated. You can decorate the fence with a variety of materials: flower pots, crafts in the form of animals, painted landscapes and everything that is enough for imagination. For example, unnecessary bright-colored rubber boots will look original as pots.
You can decorate the fence with old disks. They reflect sunlight and look interesting in any light. Different patterns can also be applied to the discs.
The fence made of wooden round timber, painted “under colored pencils”, looks impressive. With such a fence, you can also fence off the children's territory in the country.
Any fence will look cozier if some climbing plants grow along it. There are various types that grow very quickly. For example, decorative beans or morning glory. You can plant vines. They grow much slower, but also look more expensive. Beyond comparison in this case, wild grapes. Grape leaves gradually change their color and retain their beauty until the frost. It looks original when the "grape fence" turns into a canopy. This design gives the fence an old look.
Flowering shrubs planted along it will become beautiful decorations for a low fence. You can combine plants with different colors and flowering time.
In the evening, different lanterns on the fence look beautiful. It is also possible to make them yourself from improvised materials. Or you can simply place candles in painted glass jars attached to the fence. The main thing is that the flame does not fall on the fence.
A lot of room for imagination will open up to those who like to draw. You can draw anything on the surface of the fence: nature, plots, cartoon characters, ornament, small patterns in the form of flowers, butterflies, ladybugs. It is easy to draw on any fence, but it is easier on a corrugated fence.
Compositions of caps, shells, stones, dishes look original. It is easy to make plastic flowers from the bottoms of bottles and paint them in rich colors - they will look beautiful on a wooden fence.
We make flower beds and flower beds
Flower beds will help transform the summer cottage and bring color to its atmosphere. When choosing plants, be sure to take into account their individual characteristics. First of all, it is worth deciding on the flowers "soloists", that is, the main plants in the flower bed. The choice can be stopped at three or four types.
The design of flowers with ornamental herbs and leaves of an interesting shape looks beautiful. With them, the flower bed will be original, even when the flowers do not bloom. But do not try to place a lot of different plants in the country. The territory of the site should look holistically and harmoniously.
Of course, it’s not enough just to plant flowers beautifully. The flower beds also decorated around look more original. The composition must be complete.
Flower beds can be decorated using any unnecessary items. The article has already said that it is easy to make small flower beds from old tires painted in bright colors. You can use a wheelbarrow, a cart, an unnecessary beehive, or even an old car. The main thing is that everything is done neatly and aesthetically. If desired, you can add decorations to the flower garden in the form of homemade bees, butterflies, interesting stuffed animals.
You can make a small fence around the flower bed. For its manufacture, it is possible to use plastic bottles or cups, a fence made of tyn, stones. The flowerbed smoothly turning into a lawn looks beautiful.
Setting up a recreation area
At the cottage, a comfortable place for outdoor recreation must be equipped. This issue must be approached very responsibly. It all depends on the preferences and desires of the owners. It can be just a laid out area with a table and comfortable chairs or hammocks placed in the shade.
At any summer cottage, a gazebo will look spectacular, which can be made from the remaining building materials. Arbors look beautiful, the walls of which are decorated with climbing plants. Bright soft pillows or blankets look cozy as decorations.
Swings can be not only for children, but also for adults. It will not be difficult to build a wide wooden swing for relaxation or make hinged ones somewhere in the shade of trees. For convenience, they can be decorated with soft pillows.
In the recreation area, you will definitely need a barbecue. It can be made, for example, from an old barrel. Flashlights can be provided for the evening and night time.
When making and decorating a summer cottage, it is worth remembering that a summer cottage is a place of rest from everyday life and bustle of the city. It should be comfortable and calm, and the environment should be pleasing to the eye. It is important not to overload the territory with crafts or some kind of design solutions, everything should be in moderation. Imagine, create, surprise!

But to relax in comfort, you need to work a little to create beautiful, useful and comfortable things. Do-it-yourself homemade products for summer cottages and gardens - cheap, reliable and cheerful!
Wooden pallet furniture (pallet)
After the construction of the house, there is a lot of construction debris that can come in handy! Bricks and wall blocks are brought on pallets. They are returnable containers, but it’s reluctant to mess with this issue. With a minimum of effort, you can make original wooden furniture for a summer residence!
Check out this stylish living room coffee table. Do you recognize? It's just a regular pallet! It is not difficult to make such an interior item. Take a coarse sandpaper and clean the surface of the boards from which the container is knocked together. Then you need a finer sandpaper to make the surface smooth. After sanding, carefully wipe off the fine dust, consisting of particles of the removed wood.
Paint your new table with oil, acrylic, or other wood paint. If the pallet was knocked together from decent boards and you like the natural texture of wood, then it is better to varnish the table. For convenience, small wheels can be screwed from below.
More complex products are also made from this container - sofas, chests of drawers, cabinets. See some photos for inspiration.
Agree, this is a chic and stylish headset! If you yourself will make soft seats, sew ribbons of the same fabric to them from below to tie them to the frame. Otherwise, they will move.
The bed and a large headboard for it with shelves are also made of pallets. A good orthopedic mattress will allow you to sleep well even on such an original basis.
Such an open-air recreation area in an oriental style will not leave anyone indifferent.
Swing
Do you have children in your family or do you have guests with babies? Then you can't do without a swing! In order not to spend a lot of money, you can use unnecessary things.
For example, you can make an excellent swing seat from an old chair in a matter of minutes by sawing off the legs. And to make it beautiful, paint it with fresh paint.
By the way, not only children love to swing. Adults also enjoy it. Look at this version of a swing from a rattan chair, the legs of which have become unusable. Soft pillows of delicate colors, ribbons, lace fabric - everything to create a romantic atmosphere.
If there are large trees in the garden, you can hang such a structure on a thick bough, then you do not need to build complex fasteners, a strong rope will be enough.
The second life of an old bath
There are many possible options. Here are some of them.
Flower garden. One of the easiest ways to use an unwanted bath. It is enough to make good drainage from broken brick or expanded clay at its bottom, add a nutrient substrate and plant plants.
Water. The easiest option is to bury the bath in the ground and pour water into it. But you can decorate it in such a way that no one will guess from what you built yourself a pond in the country. A small fountain, natural stone for framing, lighting and favorite plants will help create a unique corner for relaxing on the site.
Furniture. Yes! It's hard to believe, but the bath turns out to be excellent furniture - sofas and armchairs. And don't worry if your bathtub is cast iron. With the help of a grinder, you can cut out part of the board to make a sofa or chair.
flower beds
Flower beds can be decorated in a very original way.
Vertical gardening with colorful rubber boots. In their soles, make holes for the outflow of excess water and arrange drainage from expanded clay. Fill shoes with soil and plant plants. Remember that any container that is not deepened into the ground quickly heats up in the sun, the earth dries up in it. Therefore, on hot days, water green pets at least 1-2 times a day..
You can also use other shoes.
If there is an extremely unattractive stump from an old tree on the site, which cannot be uprooted, do not be discouraged. It will make an excellent raised flower bed.
Some gardeners love their plant-decorated stumps so much that they even varnish them to slow down the decay process.
Instead of a stump, a picturesque log can serve as the basis.
Flower gardens can be arranged in various used items - suitcases, bags, furniture, tires and even in a car!
Try making a raised, warm bed by framing it with a neat wood frame, stone, or brick.
From plastic bottles
Plastic bottles are an excellent material for homemade products in the country and in the garden with your own hands. They can perform useful functions or be a decorative element to decorate the landscape.
A spray bottle is an indispensable tool in the garden. Make small holes in the container, put it on a pipe or hose with a neck and secure. It remains only to open the tap to let the water flow.
With the help of a bottle, you can organize root watering for plants. Make holes in it. So that the earth does not clog into the holes, put old polyamide tights on the container. Dig in the bottle so that the neck remains above the ground. There you will pour water from a hose or it will fill itself when it rains.
This method of watering will not introduce you into financial expenses at all, but will bring tangible benefits. From the bottle, water will flow gradually in small portions, without falling on the above-ground part of the plants. And this is very important for many fruit and decorative green pets: tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini ...
Having filled the bottles with water, you can safely leave for a week in the city, and the plants will not suffer from drought. More water, before it goes to the roots, has time to warm up.
Frame flower beds and beds with glass or plastic bottles.
It looks neat and is practical. If you bury the bottles in the ground, they will become a barrier to the spread of perennial weed roots. And if most of the container remains on top, then you can pour earth inside the perimeter and the flower bed or bed will turn out to be slightly raised. She will be easier to take care of.
Durable wear-resistant panicles are made from plastic bottles. They have an attractive appearance due to bright colors.

Let your cottage be hospitable at any time of the year!
The private sector is for many associated with hard, full-time work. Plant a garden, monitor the growth of plants, harvest. All this, of course, must be done. But if you organize the whole process correctly, then the work will be a joy. And there will still be plenty of free time for recreation. And do-it-yourself homemade products for the garden and summer cottages, made with their own hands, will help in this. Someone will object that everything can be bought ready-made in the store. This is true. But, firstly, there is not enough money to buy everything. And secondly, the very process of making something useful from improvised materials can bring a lot of positive emotions.
Russian people have always been distinguished by resourcefulness and ingenuity. And a huge number of do-it-yourself homemade products for summer cottages and gardens, photos of which can be found in our article, are proof of this. We will offer for consideration only a few options that will be useful in any area.
Flowerbed-box
Many gardeners have recently given preference to flower beds located in boxes. They are elevated above ground level and fenced on all sides. Thanks to this, the care process is facilitated, and the garden bed looks more attractive and interesting. It is possible (or even recommended) to use such structures on nutrient-poor soils.
Homemade for the garden involves the use of improvised materials. Therefore, for the construction of the box, you can use boards left, for example, from building a house. If they are not available, you will have to purchase them in the store. Of these, a box of arbitrary sizes is constructed. Dimensions will depend on the size of the site, its style and the plant that is planned to be planted there. The height of the side is made approximately to the knee, so that the layer of fertile soil is thicker.
A metal mesh with a medium-sized cell is fixed to the bottom of the manufactured box. It will protect against the penetration of rodents and moles. If there are none on the site, then you can do without a grid. From the bed-box you can easily make a small greenhouse. Its height is chosen taking into account the plants planted there.
Drip irrigation
Homemade products for the garden will simplify such a difficult process as watering plants. You can make a drip irrigation system. This will require a large barrel (metal or plastic), a hose, capillaries (you can make holes in the hose at a certain interval) and various connections (tees, clamps, and so on).
The barrel is raised approximately 1.5-2 m from the ground. For this, a special stand can be welded from metal corners. Thanks to this, the system will have a stable pressure. From the barrel comes the main hose. A filter must be installed on it so that debris does not clog the system. Capillaries are fed from the main hose.
Do-it-yourself sprinkler
Homemade products for summer cottages and gardens will allow you to create something necessary and useful on the site from improvised means and materials. For example, from old plastic bottles that are always thrown away, you can make a sprinkler for the garden. It will allow you to process and water plants of various heights. A sprayer is attached to the watering hose. To a long stick (the longer, the better), the same atomizer is screwed with the nozzle up. The lever is fixed with a thread in the pressed state.
In a 1.5 liter bottle, a hole is made in the neck with a red-hot nail. A bolt is inserted into the hole and secured from the outside with a nut. The bolt must be drilled through with a drill. A hose is put on it and secured with a clamp. After applying pressure to the system, the nozzle unwinds and water is sprayed.
Tire compost pit
Old car tires are one of the most popular and affordable materials for making homemade garden products. You can even make a compost pit out of them. You only need 4 of them.
One of the tires that will serve as the base is cut. One side is cut off. From the rest, two sidewalls are cut off to make rings. Next, you just need to install the tires on top of each other in the designated place.
Bench
After all the work in the garden, you can relax. And on this account, you can also choose a suitable version of homemade homemade products for summer cottages and gardens. With a small set of tools and materials, you can make an attractive streamlined bench. It will become a place where you can relax and unwind.
From the materials you will need:
- A sheet of plywood (preferably from pine) measuring 90 x 90 cm and 1.6 cm thick.
- Reiki from the same tree in the amount of 7 pieces (2 cm thick, 9.4 cm wide and 140 cm long).
- Boards 2 x 6.9 cm and 100 cm long in the amount of 3 pcs.
- Boards 2 x 6.9 cm and 140 cm long in the amount of 9 pcs.
The parts will be fastened with self-tapping screws 0.5 x 5 cm. In addition, glue for connecting wooden elements, wood varnish, turpentine will be useful.
The plywood sheet is cut into three pieces. A template is drawn on them for cutting the sidewalls and the central crossbar. The shape is cut with a jigsaw. On the back, 3 notches are made for the rails that will hold the structure.
Homemade products for the garden will help make your country life more pleasant and easier.
To work in the country and the garden always requires a lot of different tools. The quality of the cultivated land, the amount of the future harvest and the expended effort depend on the right tool.
Tools used in tillage
In order to use the tool for working in the country correctly, you need to know what it is intended for, because it will be difficult to dig up the ground, for example, with a shovel.
shovels
The most necessary tool in the country, of course, is a shovel.
Most often they use sapper, shovel and bayonet, and the latter can be with a rounded and rectangular bayonet.
Scoops are usually used when you need to collect something (for example, garbage or snow), load, mix or transfer. They look exactly the same as the scoop, only larger and with a long handle.
With a rounded bayonet shovel, they dig up solid earth, dig up a crop, and it can also cut small roots, due to the sharply ground end.
A rectangular bayonet shovel is used in the country for digging loose soil.
All types of bayonet shovel are flat and completely vertical, only on the upper part of the bayonet there are edges bent to one side - to stop the leg during digging.
Shovels are usually made of steel, stainless steel and titanium. The latter are the best in quality, are light in weight and dirt practically does not stick to the surface, but they are not cheap.
Advice ! Do not purchase shovels made of aluminum, as they are fragile and will not last very long.
The handle of a shovel is most often made of wood. A Y-shaped handle can be added at the end so that you can better apply the effort to dig up hard soil. The main thing is that the stalk is processed with high quality, without protruding knots and splinters. It is not recommended to buy spades with handles painted with varnish or paint, as they will slip in your hands.
Another type of shovel is a drainage one. Already from the name it becomes clear that it is used to create trenches and clear debris. Her bayonet has an elongated shape with rounded edges and a rounded end.
Important ! When choosing a shovel, try it on yourself, it should be 10 cm lower than your shoulder.
A sapper shovel is used for digging holes or transplanting small plants.
Forks, choppers, flat cutters
A pitchfork is another most necessary tool for giving. Straight tine forks can be used to dig up hard ground, with long and curved forks to stack hay, and with short and curved tines to work with compost.
Pitchforks are often used to dig up vegetables, as there is less chance of cutting them, and they also remove loose debris.
Attention ! Buy solid metal villas and preferably carbon steel. The distance between the teeth should be the same, just like their length.
Among the important tools for giving and gardening is a chopper (hoe). It is used for removing weeds, hilling plants, loosening, breaking up lumps and creating furrows. The design of the chopper consists of a handle on which the tip is mounted at a right angle.
When buying a chopper, pay attention to the blade, it should be at least 2-3 mm thick.
A flat cutter is an amateur tool, someone other than him does not use any other tool for giving, but someone did not like it at all, especially the owners of very hard ground. It looks like a metal bracket attached to the handle.
It is very important to buy the original of this instrument, and not a fake, which absolutely nothing can be done.
Rake
Rakes in the country house and garden level the ground after digging, break up earthen clods, collect garbage.
Metal rakes are produced with straight and twisted teeth, as well as various grip widths. It will be more convenient to collect garbage with a rake with straight teeth, and loosen the ground with twisted teeth.
Fan rakes are used only for cleaning, for example, grass and foliage.
Secateurs, loppers, garden shears
What these tools for home and garden have in common is a sharp blade. All of them should leave behind a neat cut that does not harm the plant.
Loppers - a tool for cutting thick branches. It has both blades sharpened.
Secateurs are bypass and persistent. In the bypass one blade is notched, and the second is convex. This secateurs cut young branches. The persistent pruner has one blade, and the lower part is made in the form of a stop. It is used for cutting dry branches.
Pruning shears are a tool for trimming shrubs. They create masterpieces from bushes in the form of various balls, pyramids or other figures.
When choosing secateurs, pay attention to the manufacturer, as it is better to buy Finnish, Swedish or German tools.
Advice ! Try on the scissors on your hand to feel the handles, if they are pressed into the palm of your hand.
Saws, hacksaws, knives
A garden saw and a hacksaw will help you remove an old bush or tree. For any saw, the main requirement is a smooth cut. After sawing, there should not be bark or chips sticking out in different directions.
The saw cut is strongly influenced by the size of the teeth, the smaller they are, the smoother the cut will be.
The garden saw and hacksaw have a rounded end so as not to damage the tree while cutting a branch, and also tapers towards the end.
Important ! Constantly monitor and sharpen the saw teeth in time, otherwise you can damage the plant.
You should always keep a knife in your country house and be sure to be very sharp. They can, for example, harvest or clean a wound on a tree before treatment.
Cultivators
You can loosen the earth not only with a shovel, but also with a cultivator.
A manual cultivator consists of several rotating discs (usually made in the form of stars) attached to the handle, and a special knife for cutting the roots. They come in different widths.
You can purchase a gasoline or electric cultivator. They are available in various sizes and capacities. The lighter ones are used in small areas with soft soil, while the heavier ones can be used on hard soils, and many different attachments are attached to them.
Small and other tools
Be sure to have a set of small tools in the country. They will always be needed for working with seedlings and transplanting small plants.
You will also need the following tools:
Non-standard tools
Unusual tools for cultivating the land in the country include a light digger and a potato digger "Farmer".
The light cop is called a miracle tool for giving, as they can dig up the ground several times faster, while spending much less effort and without straining your back.
Outwardly, it looks like a wide pitchfork, but with a curved handle in order to lean with two hands at once. The handle is made from a hollow tube to lighten the weight of the tool.
There is also a special step (pressure bar) on which you will need to lean with your foot.
The light cop is 60 cm wide and 135 cm high.
The entire structure is powder coated for corrosion protection.
The tool for the garden and summer cottage "Farmer" replaces several types of equipment at once (fork, shovel, rake), and also facilitates the work, since you can dig without using your hands.
There are special adjustments on the instrument to change the destination.
Storage of garden tools
Any garden tool for home and garden must be properly stored, then it can last for many years.
Preparing an instrument for storage consists of several steps:
- cleaning from dirt, grass or other debris;
- drying (each part of the tool must be thoroughly dried, so the wooden parts will not rot, and the metal ones will not corrode);
- lubrication of metal tools with oil.
Hacksaws, secateurs, saws are best stored in cases. If there are petrol saws or cultivators, it is recommended to drain the fuel.
An important role is played by the way the tool is stored. It is desirable that each tool be suspended.
The storage area must be completely dry and dark.
garden organizers
In order not to waste time looking for the right tool, you need to make or buy special organizers and storage shelves.
The organizer board has long been used in the kitchen, in the office and for storing garden tools, it is also great. It has a lot of cells in which you can put a small tool. Thanks to its small design, it can be hung anywhere.
Wall garden organizers can have not only cells, but also shelves. There are also box organizers with more drawers.
In principle, most organizers can be made by hand.
So, for example, wooden pallets can be used to store large and long tools (shovels, forks). In order for the pallet not to fall, it is better to fix it to the wall.
Interesting homemade products for giving are waiting for you in this article. You will learn how to make a lawn mower from an old washing machine, make a sink, a country shower, a dryer from improvised materials.
Useful homemade products for giving - do-it-yourself washing
Not everyone has the financial ability to buy a Karcher car. If you can't buy it, why not invent it? Do-it-yourself washing will allow you to do without plumbing, reduce water consumption and thoroughly wash your car, fence, garden path or other items.
Here's what you need for such a homemade to give:
- plastic canister with a capacity of 5–20 l;
- hose connector kit;
- automobile nipple;
- piece of hose;
- silicone sealant;
- sharp knife;
- compressor or car pump;
- irrigation gun.
Take a set of hose nozzles, which includes 2 connectors, a 3/4 threaded fitting, a 1/2 adapter.
Here is the principle of operation of such a homemade product for giving: you connect the gun to the hose, attach this device to the bottom of the canister. A nipple will be built into its neck.
Fill the container with water, but not to the top. Then screw on the lid and pump air in. This will create pressure, and the water will run well when you start to pull the trigger of the gun. Here's how to assemble such a mini sink.
Carefully cut a hole in the lid with the tip of a knife. It should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the nipple stem. Also cut a circle of the desired diameter at the bottom of the sidewall of the canister.
Insert the nipple into the cap.
Now, helping yourself with the wire, place the coupling in the hole intended for it. Apply silicone sealant to secure the coupling to the canister.
It is necessary to tighten the cover and carry out other work only after the sealant has completely cured. Then you will connect one end of the hose to the water gun and the other to the canister.
Pour water into the container, but not to the top so that there is room for pumping air. But do not pump too hard, so that the canister does not deform and burst under pressure. See how the fitting should be screwed in and the connectors installed.
If everything is done correctly, then when you press the trigger of the water gun, the water will spurt out in a good stream. You can adjust the pressure by twisting the tip of the gun.
In the country, it is hardly possible to do without a shower. Try to make something unusual, but tropical, then you can enjoy even more water treatments.
How to make a rain shower from improvised materials for a summer residence?
If you have only recently acquired a plot and you do not yet have a washroom, then you can take a shower right on the street, enclosing a small area near the fence with a curtain. To make such a rain shower, you will need very few components, these are:
- bracket;
- wire;
- flexible hose;
- metal beer can;
- hose adapter;
- awl;
- nails.
Tie the top of the hose to the bracket with wire, and attach the other end to a water pipe or pump. When you lower the pump into a barrel of heated water, you will be able to enjoy pleasant water treatments.
You can also make a rain shower head using a disc container. In its center, you need to fix the plastic adapter that is attached to the shower hose, and the central axis of the discs must be removed. Using an awl, make holes at the top of the lid. Glue all fasteners well with sealant. Such a nozzle is held on the bracket with a thick wire or on a rigid pipe.
If you have a desire to make a rain shower, then you can use plastic pipes for this.
You need to bring water to them, first make a lot of small holes with a soldering iron, and then enjoy the pouring drops. Children really like such water procedures.
But do not forget to first check the water in the container from which it will be poured into the shower, it should warm up in the sun.
And to make a stationary shower, you must first pour water into a tank or barrel, which will be located under the roof or on the roof of the building. On a warm summer day, the water here warms up well, and you can wash yourself plenty. To be able to do this in cooler weather, then it is necessary to provide a heating system in such containers.
Do-it-yourself country shower
Before installing it, you need to make a shower cabin. If possible, you can make it out of wood by placing this small structure on the base. Put in a wooden door or go with a shower curtain like this.
There are also simpler options. If you have oilcloth, then use it.
Another option is to purchase impregnated fabric or use an old awning or tent.
If you made a fence from corrugated board and you still have materials, then try to make a shower for giving from them. Metal pipes need to be dug in according to the markup, poured with concrete. When it dries, cut sheets of corrugated board are welded to the racks. One of them will become the roof.
If you don't have enough wood planks, then implement the option shown in the next photo on the right. And on the left is a shower, which is made like a wattle fence. So the materials for it will cost almost free.
When the shower is ready, you can install a water tank on it. To make it warm up better, you can make a kind of metal or hose coil. Then the water will warm up more actively.
These and other homemade products for giving allow you to make the most of the available containers.

Interesting homemade products for giving with your own hands
Garden tools are very necessary for working on the ground. Often in the store they sell not very high-quality sets. After a short use, the handle of the shovel breaks off, or the teeth of the chopper are bent. Therefore, if possible, try to make tools with your own hands.
Take:
- cutting;
- fragment of a water pipe;
- scrap from a two-handed saw;
- screws;
- screws;
- a fragment of a profile pipe with a cross section of 3 cm.
To make a blade, take a piece of a two-handed saw and draw the outlines of a future chopper. Punch two holes.
At the same distance and the same diameter, you need to make 2 holes on the chopper itself, and then cut out a fragment from a two-handed saw.
Drill these holes with a drill and a drill designed for metal work. Connect these two parts with rivets, which are screws.
Now drill a hole in the top of the chopper to attach the handle here.
Make also a scoop, which is very interesting to work in the beds. Then such homemade products for giving will allow you to get a very durable set of tools.
Saw off the desired piece of the handle with a grinder and begin to unbend its part with a chisel.
Then, helping yourself with lever tools, straighten this part almost completely.
It remains to work with a hammer so that the scoop blade acquires the desired shape. Using a felt-tip pen, draw the outlines of its working part and cut it out with a grinder.
Using an abrasive wheel, clean the edges of the shovel and make them more even. Now process the tool with an emery petal wheel. That's how shiny this shovel will become.
Also drill a hole in it for the handle, then insert it and secure with a screw.
Cover the cuttings of both tools with an antiseptic, and then with varnish. Now you can use the tools for their intended purpose. If you want, follow the same principle to make a cultivator for beds.
It is very exciting to create such things for giving with your own hands. Maybe after you make the tools, you want to make a device on which you can dry part of the harvest. See how one gardener did it.
