For any responsible and resourceful homeowner, bettering improving your house doesn’t have to equate to breaking the bank. As practicability is at the centre of many a home improvement strategy, reusing home items and materials to create another part of your household allows you to really put your stamp on your home. The same idea couldn’t be truer for finding new uses for old wooden fence panels. Here we feature five refreshing approaches to give new life to fence panels.
From Panels to a Wine Rack
Sprucing up your home is easy as turning your used wooden panels into a simple rack for your wine bottles. When building your rack you will want to first consider the number of bottles you want to store. Second, would you prefer it as a stand or more of a wall mount? From there, a lot of options will open up and you can decide which framework fits your home best. Needless to say, you have to make sure you cut the panels right, smoothen the rough edges, and make sure everything is screwed on tight. There are many different styles of wine racks and reusing wooden fence panels is a chance to add a unique feature to your home bar.
From Panels to a Coffee Table
The term “Do-It-Yourself” or D.I.Y. is something homeowners should embrace fully. It not only displays ingenuity, but also shows your sense of independence and pride as a homeowner. As far as building a table from scratch, wooden fence panels are an ideal material. Hometalk highlights that the process is pretty simple and fairly inexpensive. Just remember that choosing the best fence panels is the key to the success of the table. You must inspect each panel for toughness and strength.
