I call myself a bricolagier, meaning one who builds things out of pieces and parts. I think you may be one too!
:D

Thank you Pearl! I’ve been a voyeur here for a little while, finally decided to share.
I love the word bricolagier! May have to borrow it!😉

The none-geodesic dome/teepees are especially cool.
I like how you do your hubs too, theres just lots to admire here!

Thank you! Always trying to upcycle what most see as one time use stuff. Materials have tons of uses, just need to use our imagination and creativity. 💚

Forgot I also built a winter hang out shelter with a heater for the cats and dogs..
The last pic is of a super cool Australian trampoline frame I’ve never seen before, it was advertised on Fb, it works with tension rods instead of springs, when put together the frame tension rods hold the mat, so I just McGyver’ed another wat to hold the frame together with guywire and S hooks, now need to add the pipes to hold the shadecloth.
For the teepee greenhouse, I also made clamps to hold the plastic with left over thin wall 1” pvc, cut a slit longways, they slip right onto the frame.

I’m always scouring adds for free trampolines, they’re so versatile it makes me want to build all kinds of stuff! I built a teepee greenhouse using the frame upside down and pvc pipes, then a rabbit enclosure, a geodesic dome greenhouse also with pvc pipes, a grapevine arbour, the next 4 will be a muskovy duck enclosure, greenhouse for bananas - I’m sick of them dying down in the winter, greenhouse for the jaboticaba and papaya and an enclosure for the prego bunnies.
I’ve used the springs for hanging pots, the nets for shade cloth; never got a foam cover thing, so, not sure what to use that for…
The frames have endless uses… great score!💚
Not sure how to add a pic here..🤦‍♀️

Our non profit small farm and nursery will hopefully be fully functioning by spring, we have so much work amending the sandy soil and getting all the donated plants and trees on the ground and starting seedlings that our greenhouse is overloaded! Tools are always a huge blessing! Fingers crossed!!
