Oh, I wish you were a bit closer!! They are perfect as containers for plants and flowers.

oflynno 25-03-2010 09:55 PM

eh,are you sure you are not mixing up tyres with tubes?

if i am wronging you sorry

do you inflate them and plant the plants inside them?

i was thinking for getting a few jeep tyres and stacking them 2 high for planting spuds in for the season,but i might try a large tube instead

Are The Tubes Punctured?
And Are They The Rear (big) Tubes?
As I Have A Speed Boat And Something Like That Would Be Great Fun To Pull Behind

I didn't get to read the last word sorry, yep, I was thinking of tyres! :D
The tubes are great for swimming in lakes... well, probably not the best use in the Irish weather :D
Hmm, have to come up with something else...

ya they are the big rear tubes

they are there ages but i will have a look and see if they are holding air

the thought crossed my mind to do a topgear type of hovercraft
involving the roof of a van,the tubes for the skirt and a vw aircooled engine for the power

oh,my brain hurts

I saw a garden where someone had stretched them to make planters of different shapes and heights.He had all different types of tubes,at one end he had his herbs and veg.there he just had rectangle shapes.He just shretched them over a piece of timber.It was the quickest garden make over ever and the beauty of it was they could be moved on a whim,

Myself and hubbie were lookin for these for the daft raft race on the river here in Trim to use as a hovercraft type thingy..when we were younger we used to buy them off the tyre man in the town here for 50p and sit in them and race eachother down the river..great fun and not too dangerous because the river is quiet shallow in summer..It used to be great craic..

Tubing!
 
Tubing is floating down the river in inner tubes, i did the snowy version once and twas great, a freind and i were just talking about going for a float down the river in summer and wondering where we could get tubes, these would be perfect, i may be interested in taking a few that hold air if they're still available?

I'd be interested in a couple of them if the thickness of the Tube was large enough. Could you measure across one section of the tube while it's lying flat on the ground please and let me know what it is?
What I want to do is; cut a length say about 2ft, out of the tube, the internal diameter of this piece is what is important to me.

Thanks
