Metal doesn't fit into a natural garden? Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that! With creative examples and simple instructions for replicating it, we'll prove you wrong on this page. Make certain garden corners or, ideally, your entire garden an eye-catcher. These homemade metal decorations will definitely make all your visitors jealous.
How can you easily design your own metal garden decorations?
Garden decorations made of metal are easy to make yourself: Use old sheet metal, for example, as rain protection, form figures and plants from flexible metal rods or use metal springs to create creative animal figures. There are no limits to your own ideas.
Recycle old sheet metal
The rain can come
Do you have thin sheet metal and don't know what to do with it? How about a rain cover. Not just a simple roof. When the thick drops fall onto the metal sheet, they only create annoying noise. Build yourself an umbrella instead. To do this, however, your sheet metal must be flexible. Curve individual sheet metal parts and assemble them together to create a round shape. Now all you have to do is cut curves into the ends to create the typical shape of an umbrella. A metal rod bent at the bottom serves as a handle.

Shaping figures
Bendable metal rods are ideal for weaving figures or threads. Balls, fences or abstract works of art, there are no limits to your imagination.
The slightly different garden planting
- Bend several metal rods into large eyelets.
- Place them together to form a flower.
- Cut a circular disc from a piece of sheet metal.
- Attach these to the center of the flowers.
- Place the flower in the garden bed.
Suns can also be made this way.
Schmucker garden fence
- Drive two large wooden stakes into the ground.
- Drill holes in the posts at even intervals.
- Now insert metal rods into the holes.
- To create a mesh look, insert long metal rods vertically into the ground.
- Use the trellis as a climbing aid or attach wind chimes or colorful glass shards to the rods.

Creative as hell
Use spiral metal springs as animal bodies. Tubes serve as the neck and head while you bend sheet metal to make ears. Use screws to give your new pet a face.
