If the wood is worn down inside by insects, it is better not to use it, as such a path will not last long.
For the future road, you need to dig a trench 10 cm deep. Its length and width are arbitrary, at the request of the owners. Fill the trench with sand and compact it. Lay the cuts with the largest diameter first. There are smaller ones between them.

Many people are familiar with this picture: when you go into a country shed, the shovel tries to fall, and the rake, if you step on it, hits you on the head. Sometimes it's so hard to find the right tool, so it is necessary to make an organizer for your garden equipment. Here is another problem regarding where to put the old tree, or rather, boards, that will be resolved.
Organizer for garden tools made from PVC pipe scraps
It is convenient when each garden tool is in its place. In addition, it’s good when the organizer for it looks beautiful and is made from leftover old material.
If you were making water supply for your dacha, you probably had scraps of PVC pipes left over. These will come in handy for the next idea. For such an organizer, take:
- narrow thick planks;
- self-tapping screws;
- PVC pipes or their trimmings;
- hacksaw;
- screwdriver;
- level;
- wood saw.
Use a hacksaw to cut PVC. miter saw, plastic pipe cutter or special cutter.
Make the markings, helping yourself with a level, draw on the wall on which the boards will be fixed three horizontal lines. Measure the length of the boards and saw them off. Using self-tapping screws, attach two to the wall. The lower one is needed for support so that garden tools do not touch the ground. We secure it with a small block.
On other boards, mark at the same distance. Attach the PVC pipes with the cut side up.
If you have a straight wall in your shed, then look at what other garden crafts are designed to store hand-held garden tools in them.
For such an organizer you will need:
- PVC pipes;
- double-sided mounting tape;
- hacksaw;
- scissors;
- roulette;
- pencil;
- soft cloth.
Using a tape measure and pencil, mark the wall. Cut pieces of mounting tape to the required length. Taking off protective layer on one side, attach it to the PVC, then remove the second protective layer to attach it to the wall.
To ensure that the tape adheres more firmly, avoid contact with dust and dirt during installation, and do not touch the sticky surface with your hands.
After you have secured the PVC pieces to the wall, put your gardening tools in the section for easy storage.
Attach a board painted with wood varnish to the wall, scraps of PVC pipes. This will solve the problem of storing extension cords. And the brushes can be hung on nails nailed to another wooden board.
If you have pallets at your dacha, they can also be used for storage gardening tools, attaching them to the wall.
Boards and small glass jars turn into a storage system for nails, screws and other small metal objects that are needed at the dacha.
To implement this interesting idea, take:
- a small board;
- nail;
- hammer;
- self-tapping screws;
- screwdriver;
- small jars with screw caps.
- First you need to make holes in the lids. To do this, turn them over and place them on a board. Make three holes at equal distances using a nail and hammer.
- Place the cover on the bottom wooden shelf, attach with self-tapping screws.
- Place all sorts of little things for handicrafts at the dacha in a jar. All you have to do is screw it to the lid.
Shoe organizer made from old wood
Another problem faced at the dacha concerns shoes. There is not always enough space to accommodate rubber boots, flip flops, slippers for all household members. Interesting ideas will help with this.
if you have old hanger with hooks, don't throw this thing away. It is enough to paint it, nail it at the required height, after which the problem of storing shoes will be solved.
In the presence of wooden pallet, this can be done this way: cut it into several parts so that each one has a transverse strip. There is no need to make a bottom for such sections. It is enough to coat the shelves with wood varnish and place shoes in them. Teen and adult will hold up well.
If desired, the wooden boxes in which fruits and vegetables are stored will turn into original crafts for a summer residence, for example, a shoe organizer.
To create this, take:
- wooden boxes;
- impregnation for wood;
- self-tapping screws;
- dostochki
On the small sidewalls, find the middle, attach the blocks here that hold the shelf. Now connect the sections together as shown in the photo. That is, first, they are fixed in pairs, then in rows, moving them slightly in one direction or the other.
And here are some others interesting ideas can be realized using such boxes.
For the first one, you first need to paint them, when dry, place them vertically and horizontally. For the second one, you don’t even need to spend money on paint. These elements are connected to each other using large paper clips.
This staircase can accommodate many pairs of shoes at once. You just need to nail the boards horizontally to the steps. If desired, you can fill the corner space by attaching rectangular shelves here with self-tapping screws.
Beautifully stacked firewood at the dacha

Brushwood is good for heating the stove. Make bundles and put them in the woodshed. To make it you will need so little:

They are fastened to horizontal boards, which also serve as the bottom shelf. Make another one in the center. The roof is gable. Don't forget to cover all elements with antiseptic impregnation.
if you have old rack, it can also accommodate stacked firewood. But first you need to paint it with an antiseptic so that wooden elements served as long as possible. Place the firewood burner near the wall, then it will take up little space and precipitation will not get here.

- nails;
- self-tapping screws;
- boards of the same width;
- metal ridge;

- Nail two bars horizontally from below, attach boards to them, on which beautifully stacked firewood will lie. Attach the skate.
If you want to decorate the woodshed, then nail a board under the upper “leg” of the pallet. Place film in the resulting box, add soil, and plant flowers or herbs.
A place for beautifully stacked firewood can also become a bench for relaxation, look how easy it is to make one. This idea will also tell you how to save space.
Place the firewood near the outdoor fireplace, under the bench. When the weather is dry, put it on decorative pillows, which are so comfortable to sit on.
Sawn birch firewood can be decorated in an original way. Place the thick and thin branches of this tree in the center, around it - fragments of trunks, secure everything with a rope. A couple of flower pots and a lantern will complete the natural picture.
Where to put the old tree?
If you got a plot where several trees grow or, perhaps, there are some that were broken by a storm. So that you don't have to spend money on exporting this natural material, look how many interesting things you can make from it.

- electric or chainsaw;
- antiseptic;
- geotextiles;
- brush;
- crushed stone;
- sand.

Saw the wood into round pieces 4–5 cm thick. Cover them with antiseptic on all sides. If you want to give these elements shine, then after the last layer of impregnation has dried, paint them with wood varnish intended for outdoor use.
First place wide logs on the marked and prepared area, and place smaller ones between them. You can help yourself with wooden or rubber mallet, tapping the workpieces to better adhere them to the surface.
If you have few such elements, arrange them sparser or pour a layer of crushed stone on the soil, and place wooden blocks on top in the form of a pattern.
Using the same technology, secure the second board at the top so that you can rest your back on it when sitting.
If you know how to work with an electric or chainsaw, then you can make such an outdoor chair.
If you are looking for more simple ideas where to put the old tree, then pay attention to these.
