Wagon wheels- what would you do with them?
We have acquired a lot of steel wheels that look like wagon wheels. They are from 4 ft high to 7 ft high- and planning on using them on the farm. What do you do with steel wagon wheels? Thanks! Teri

If you do any welding, you could make a GREAT front gate with them! (It would, undoubtedly, be heavy.....but you can put wheels, like lawnmower wheels, on the bottom and it will open/close very easily. My front gate is made this way (without the "wagon wheels").
just another suggestion...

A table! Good idea- planning on the gate. Also quartering the smaller ones and using them as braces for our log front porch. Hubby wants to build a wagon or two, one for grandchildren- (and a western town for them to play in when they visit) another one for a "chuck wagon" that has a BBQ grill built in. Please keep the ideas coming! BTW- you may be able to find these at a power company's disposal site- they held huge rolls of electric wire to begin with.

may be the same idea: build planter boxes and put bettween the standing wheels like a carosel, very nicer planter box! or build a cart type planter box. we use buggy rims to make rings for wooden up rights that we put around stumps too close too building too up root, filled with dirt and planted too annuels or tomatoes (or what ever you please!) what ever you do don't throw them out! they aint making many anymore!

I'm supposed to be closing on our new(to us) house and land at 1:00 today and we are still having trouble with the bank, the title company and the insurance company. I would like to order several of your heaviest wheels to tie these people to and roll them down a steep hill into a deep river.
ARRRGH!
Doug

That's the best use I've heard so far. And I would like to order several sets for some lawyers I know.

My ex made me a beautiful rose trellis out some metal wagon wheels. It was really pretty against the cedar siding of our house. Now its really pretty against the cedar siding of his extra house.

My vote is for a table, also. My dad has one with a plexi-glass top. His uncle was really good with making things, and he fashioned legs for it out of black wrought iron and even put horse shoes on the bottom, so it's level. That table is probably 35 yrs old and looks great. Uncle is long gone but a part of his work lives on.

We were driving near Pullman,Wa one vacation and saw a fence made out of wagon wheels. Different sizes, some on top of each other, it was very nice looking. They had a LOT of wheels.
