FAQ's

How do I prepare tires for use in garden fencing?

Clean tires thoroughly with soap and water, let them dry completely, then apply a primer specifically designed for rubber before painting. Make drainage holes if using for planting, and treat with a UV-protective coating to prevent degradation.

Are tire fences environmentally safe?

Yes, when properly sealed and maintained. Using tires in gardens helps recycle materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. However, ensure tires are sealed well to prevent rubber leaching into soil.

How long do tire fences last?

With proper preparation and maintenance, tire fences can last 10-15 years or more. Regular repainting and sealing help extend their lifespan. Check structural integrity annually.

Use steel rebar or posts through tire centers for vertical stability, and secure tires together with strong construction adhesive or bolts. For added stability, you can partially bury the bottom row of tires.
