Tractor tyre uses

[smurfette]

So I have finally found a place where I can pick up a few tractor tyres for free yay! I saw the other day somebody said they use theirs for a sandpit so I was thinking of that and maybe one filled with compost to dig in.. Any other ideas?

Lay them on the ground fill with soil/ concrete for children to jump from one to another?

Or cut in half and concrete them standing up in varying heights for children to climb over?

A pond?

Some of these ideas are cool

They have just used a load at my children's school for parkour - the kids LOVE them

I use mine as plant pots and in the winter months will add sand and bark and things for them to dig and create with. I have herbs in the middle two abd my little one loves messing with them and smelling the different herbs.

This pic is when I first put them in the beginning of summer. Now the herbs are over flowing from the tyres and look lovely x

Where can you get them from?

Where can you get them from?

i asked my local garage, they let me pick which ones i wanted and could take as many as i wanted.
it costs them to get rid of them so most garages are happy for people to take them off their hands.

If you in cambridgeshire I can get you them.

Parkour is according the definition

Parkour is a holistic training discipline using movement that developed from military obstacle course training Practitioners aim to get from A to B in the most efficient way possible.They do this using only their bodies and their surroundings to propel themselves. Furthermore, they try to maintain as much momentum as is possible in a safe manner. Parkour can include obstacle courses, running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, rolling, quadrupedal movement, and the like, depending on what movement is deemed most suitable for the given situation.

I didn't know what it was either until my 7yr old came home and told me what these new tyres were for lol
