Scaffold boards can have a wide range of uses in the garden. Depending on what you want to make, you can opt to use treated or untreated boards. You can also decide to use new or reclaimed boards. Here are some interesting scaffold board garden ideas that you can implement to spruce up your exterior.
1. Raised beds
Reclaimed scaffold boards are the perfect material for making raised beds. You can plant flowers and have your garden looking neat. If you’re a gardening fanatic, raised beds would make the perfect spot for growing plants and veggies. They are also pretty easy to maintain.
Since the boards will be exposed to water, you can opt for treated boards so that they last longer. You can also paint the boards when making the raised beds to achieve a unique aesthetic for your garden.
2. Making pergolas
For a nice, quiet spot to chill with your friends and loved ones, you can make a pergola in your garden from reclaimed scaffold boards. You can plant vines and crawling plants next to your pergola or hang flowers in pots to make the area more appealing.
If you want it to have a rustic look, you can opt for used boards. This is a cost-effective way to create more living space in your garden.
3. Making planters
You can make cute planters to place in your garden using boards. You can get creative when choosing the perfect shape and size for your planters. They are a good alternative to raised beds and you can also paint them if you want to.
