Perhaps there is not a single summer resident who does not have an old iron bucket in the bins. It is no longer possible to use it for its intended purpose, and hands do not reach to be thrown out. We offer to collect all the buckets together and make different useful things out of them.
Flower pots
Each gardener has flower beds, and an old bucket is ideal as a pot for them. It will be enough to sand the surface a little and paint it in your favorite color. The fantasy here is endless - you can decorate buckets with drawings, tie them with a decorative mesh, attach thin twigs and many other options around the perimeter.

Harvest Basket
If the bucket has no bottom, do not rush to throw it away. Giving him a second life is very simple. To do this, you need thick wire and wire cutters. From the wire it is enough to simply weave a new bottom, fixing it with the help of pre-made holes. In such a bucket, you can stack not only the harvest, but also mowed grass or leaves.
Stool or table base
Still strong, but already outdated bucket, can be used as a stool. You just need to turn it over and put a decorative pillow on top for convenience. And by attaching a small sheet of plastic or thick plywood on top, you get a compact portable table.

Large berry pickers are certainly convenient. But the berries in them quickly crumple. If you have an old bucket, then, having spent a little time, you can make a multi-story basket, in which the berries are easier to transport without harm to their appearance.
To do this, several pallets are made, they can be braided from wire or come up with any other option. It is desirable to lay the bottom with paper. And then everything is simple. Each floor drops to the previous one. And all this is fastened with hooks made of wire of the desired length over the edges of the bucket.
Hose holder
A bucket pinned to the wall will help to store the hose without the risk of fracture and kink: the bottom is attached to the wall with screws or long nails, and the bucket turns into a convenient shelf - once, and into a holder for the hose - two. The main thing is to securely fix the structure.

Convenient storage of trifles
You can creatively decorate the old bucket, sign or paste the letters cut from magazines and newspapers, and you will get convenient containers for storing various summer little things - tools, fertilizers and many other useful things that will now be collected in one place.
