50 Landscape Timbers

[glazed]

If you were given 50 landscape timbers ... what could/would you do with them (aside from the obvious) ?

[DYngbld]

You could give them to me? I need them for ...... landscapping.

I saw a realy cool planter made from them, a couple of weeks ago.

Fence posts around a chicken park, or garden. They would be tall enough to put up a fence high enough to do some good. <>UNK

I have had landscape timbers eaten by termites, so I won't use them for fence posts.

Make steps, Retaining wall, Raised beds, walk ways Oh so many ideas.

use them to build a coop,hunting blind or shed post and frame style. of course you'll need some 2x4s and sheathing but could lower the cost of the project.

raised beds is what i was thinking

[Callieslamb]

I would line my strawbery beds. Make a 'greenhouse' for my chickens for this winter.....
I would like to have a pile of them to look at and think of all the possibilities.

Just depends on what kind you have. If they are the ones you see at many gardening places, they won't hold up for long. (Rather small in diameter with rounded edges and two flat surfaces.)

Put them into storage until the use you really need comes up. You don't want to do the V-8 head slap because you simply used them for something because you have them, rather than waiting until your "real" need arises.

Just my 2-cents.

Notch them and give them to the kids as the worlds largest Lincoln log set?

If they are straight and dry use mortise and tenon joinery and make heavy duty legs for outdoor work tables. My folks always had an old door on saw horses and it was used frequently. Chicken butchering table was the main use.

For a table top I would use a sheet of treated plywood with treated 2 X 4s screwed together as a framework for it to prevent warping. Painted on top of the treated wood makes for great longevity.

You might want to move them to your new location before assembling into any functional item as they would mover easier and more compactly.
