One day, while taking my morning walk around the neighborhood, I noticed something interesting. It was the day when the city collects big things that people can’t throw in their regular trash cans. They call it “bulk trash pick-up day.” It’s like a special day to look for hidden treasures.
At first, I didn’t pay much attention to a pile of stuff on the side of the road. But then, I couldn’t stop thinking about an old wagon wheel that caught my eye. I decided to go back and take a closer look. What I found was surprising—the wooden part in the middle of the wheel was all rotten and broken. But the outer iron rim was still in good shape. I thought it was worth saving.

Do you know how heavy wagon wheels can be? They are pretty heavy, even without the wooden part. Luckily, my house was nearby, so I carried it on my shoulder and took it home. I had an idea to use it for some cool garden art in my backyard.

In my backyard, I had a vine called Carolina Jasmine that needed something to grow on. I thought the wagon wheel rim would be a perfect support for it. I carefully placed the rim next to the vine and started wrapping the vine around it. It turned out to be a beautiful combination of nature and art.

Once the pool was complete, we worked on the outdoor spaces around the pool, making a fire pit area on the pool deck and hanging hammocks from posts in the backyard. Now. if you have ever lived through a pool renovation, you know that every inch of your yard and surrounding flower beds will be destroyed along the way. That was okay because we needed to redo the flower beds and my large planter anyway. See how the flower bed above came out in my post about easy, low maintenance flower bed ideas. Plus, see more metal wagon wheel rim ideas in my post where I updated my large planter. Finally, the outdoor lights were really the icing on the cake after all of the hard work that went into the backyard.
