Bicycle stand for flowers: varieties, recommendations for choosing

Many people like the idea of ​​decorating a bicycle with flowers. Previously, girls often put a basket with daisies, tulips or other flowering plants on the front or rear trunk of their mini-vehicles. This made the bike more feminine, and the ride more enjoyable and romantic. Some people still use this technique today.

Professional designers and just creative people have gone further. They decided that this gentle image can be used to decorate a summer cottage, and to decorate apartments. This is how a bicycle stand for flowers appeared. Consider the varieties of such products, and also find out if you can make such a decor yourself.

Outdoor decorative products in the form of a bicycle decorated with flowers are usually used outdoors. These are large items (from 155 cm). They are often used to decorate the backyard area. In this case, you have 3 options:

• purchase a landscape figurine in the form of a vehicle with containers in which flower pots are placed;
• make a product out of metal or wood yourself;
• take a real bike that is not used for its intended purpose.

Decorative items are often made in the form of a three-wheeled vehicle.... This ensures better structural stability.

Models made of wood, vines or rattan only vaguely resemble the type of transport under consideration. But they are environmentally friendly and can make a good company.for example, a wooden bench in the garden or a set of wicker furniture. The design variations are different.

Industrial options usually suggest placing potted flowers on round stands that are located in the seat, rear and front racks. Craftsmen in their work use baskets, wooden boxes and even small tubs intended for a bath as containers for plants. Construction details can be fixed with a rope.

Metal models more graceful... Openwork forged wheels and curly baskets turn the object into a real work of art. As a rule, products are not made of ordinary iron, but of a material that is resistant to moisture. This is an important point, because if the composition is located in an open area, the impact of precipitation on it is inevitable.

In addition to three-wheeled models, there are products on sale that imitating two-wheeled vehicles. In such cases, 2 thin strips located on the sides act as a support. Usually they are almost invisible and do not spoil the appearance of the product at all. The range of colors is also varied. The most popular options are products coated with black or white paint. Some people prefer brown models. If you wish, you can find a red, blue or pink bike.

Independent implementation of such a decor option is not within the power of everyone. To do this, you must have the skills of forging. Of course, you can make a fairly simple product without ornate patterns. You can combine metal with wood. Anyway a thing done with a soul will delight you and your loved ones.

Finally, you can take a real bike and equip it to look like a flower girl. No special skills are required here. You just need to take the transport, which may be gathering dust in the garage, and slightly transform it. By the way, a child model can also be used.

Such a solution will not only allow you to design the site in an original way. It will save usable space, because only 2 wheels will rest on the ground. The flower containers will be at the top. The basket can be fixed to the front and to the rear rack. In this case, a climbing culture can be launched over the frame. You can also use the entire floor space and place a third plant container between the steering wheel and seat. Vine baskets, plastic and metal nets, plastic buckets are suitable as stands for flowers.

The outdoor planter bike can also be used at home. In such cases, choose either compact forged models or neat rattan products. If any creativity using improvised materials is permissible at the summer cottage, in the apartment homemade rude things will look out of place. You should give preference to professionally made products that allow you to place beautiful flower pots in them.

Another variety is mini planters. Such models can be called desktop. They fit easily on the windowsill and can hold small pots. Usually they are made of metal, but if you wish, you can make such a decor from thick wire or twine and cocktail tubes.
