For many, a personal plot today is not only a garden, but also a place for family vacations. I would like to equip it so that everyone is comfortable, and the children also have fun.
As a material for landscape decoration, wood is often used. Moreover, it is not necessary to buy it.
You can use the waste from the construction of outbuildings, a sawn tree, a wooden pole, driftwood from a nearby forest, etc.
Moreover, you can make wood crafts with your own hands.

Facilities
Arbor, pergola, sandpit, porch, well - these and other structures made of wood look very impressive. For their manufacture, you can use timber, slats, logs.
But these are all quite traditional materials. And you can search tree trunks dumped by the wind in the forest, cut logs of the same length, remove the bark (or not) and dig them into the ground, after preliminary processing the underground part with a special compound that will save the tree from rotting.
The roof of the gazebo can be made of straw or willow. It will turn out something like a bungalow. Very creative.
Track
In summer cottages, crafts made from wood cuts are popular. This may be the wall of the gazebo, part of the fence, garden sculptures. And also it is suitable material for a garden path.
It is necessary to saw a log or several logs across. The circles may have a different diameter, but the thickness should be the same for everyone. The same thickness you need to cut thin logs and branches.
If the wood is exuded inside by insects, it is better not to use it, since 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. Cover the trench with sand and ram it. Lay the saws with the largest diameter first. Between them are smaller.
Saws from the branches need to fill the remaining free space. Cover the cracks with earth or sand. The path will be more interesting if you plant seeds of lawn grass in the ground between the saw cuts.
Fencing
For fencing, you can use a wooden fence - more or less straight sticks with a diameter of up to 5 cm. To do this, pick up branches in the forest and remove the bark from them. If some of them have small knots or slings at the end, it will be even more interesting.
The fence can be not only external, but also inside the area for zoning the space. This can be an openwork battens along which, if desired, you can plant climbing plants or hang pots with petunia or ampelous plants.
Bridges
Of course, the first to appreciate the semicircular bridges in the country are children. But for adults, the look of such decorative elements touches and pacifies. It is good if there is an artificial pond on the site. The bridge will look more natural.
But there are some nuances.
- Firstly, for such a craft a lot of logs are needed.
- Secondly, not every owner knows how to make a bridge of more complex modification, for example, a semicircular one.
- Thirdly, you just don’t go into the forest and cut trees, this requires permission from the relevant authorities, and this is quite expensive.
Flowerbed
Under the flowerbed, you can adjust the stump from a sawn tree, trunk, log, massive log. To do this, hollow out the recess with a chisel and a hammer.
Note!
If this is a stump, then the groove is hollowed out on the saw, if it is a lying log, then in its lateral part. You can turn an old driftwood into a strange animal. Earth is poured into the recess and seedlings are planted.
Garden furniture
Crafts for a wooden garden can become quite functional if they play the role of garden furniture. Of course, for the manufacture of furniture you must have certain wood skills and professional tools.
All the same logs, logs will be suitable as a source material, an excellent bench can turn out from a stump. You can use thick plywood for the top of the garden table.
Since all these items will be outdoors in the open 24 hours a day, you need to take care of moisture protection, protection against mold and drying out. And all surfaces must be carefully sanded and sanded so that splinters do not spoil the rest of the city.
Playground
You can equip it around a stump from a sawn tree. It is easy to turn the stump itself into a house for dwarves, equipping it with a beautiful tiled roof, door, windows and other accessories. In search of wood crafts photos on the Internet, it is easy to find examples of such houses.
Around the house you can place various garden wooden sculptures and toys: a rocking horse, a car, animals from round saw cuts. And of course a sandbox with a roof.
Note!
Older children can be involved in the arrangement of the playground, teaching them how to handle a hammer, a plane and other tools. Children's crafts made of wood will please both themselves, their friends, and adults.
On the playground with the help of logs and logs, you can arrange a real training base, if you arrange and dig them in the form of a ladder, lay out a maze, make a swing, hang the logs on chains 20 cm from the ground and build a swinging path. It all depends on the amount of material and the imagination of the owners.
It is only important to observe safety precautions and use only strong wood for any element of the playground. The bases of all sports equipment and buildings must be properly concreted. All knots and notches are cut and polished.
A variety of wood crafts for summer cottages and gardens can be found on the Internet. The main thing is to have quality material.
