How to make Mushroom Tire Seats | Tire Upcycling to Seats

@thegreens, we call them “Mushroom Tire Seats” because they appear as if they are growing from the ground and have a round mushroom cap.
To make a Mushroom Tire Seat is Simple and very cheap.
All you need are;

1. Tires
2. Soil
3. Sand
4. Cement
5. Paint
6. Digging tools

Follow this simple procedure to make your Mushroom Tire Seat

1. Select tires of the same or similar sizes.
   

2. Dig a 15cm hole into the ground that has the same size like the tire.
   

3. Put the first tire into the hole and fill it with soil.
   

4. Put the second tire on top of the first tire and continue to fill it with soil. When you effectively fill the second tire with soil, it will create a “soil hook” that will make it difficult to be displaced from the first tire. You can add the third or fourth tire depending of the height of the seat you want to make and fill it with soil.
   

5. Once your tire seat height is attained, mix the cement(binder) and sand and seal the top seat by creating a gently sloping mushroom cap so that if it rains, the water can runoff the tire.
   

6. Paint your mushroom tire seat and leave it to dry for one day.
   

7. Enjoy your seat.
