I like using metal in the garden. Here I have re-purposed very old discarded bed frames. Since I like the rusty look I did not refinish them.
and large metal items can be used as an individual focal piece to enhance a plain planting
and several small ones can be grouped together so it will not look like you need to tidy the garden. lol
I put two painted bedframes behind a group of old galvanized buckets I am using as planters.
I noticed that the paint on these are beginning to peel showing several different colors of paint the previous owners used. This will give me the opportunity to repaint them with my favorite color next spring.
The best thing about this is..... it is fun! I love the individual look it creates in a garden and it is almost free. I also like to think I am keeping items out of landfills.
As for welding.... I wish!!!
