Can human waste in the form ofplastic bottles become an interesting project for your home and garden? Of course they can! American designer Garth Britzman created an unusual DIY canopy out of plastic bottles for a car park.This canopy made from plastic bottles provides shade,which is important to prevent the car from overheating, but will not protect against rain. In addition, the canopy looks bright from below due to the colored water at the bottom of the bottles.
How to make a canopy of plastic bottles with your own hands?
To form the base of the canopy, build a wooden frame using four vertical beams and horizontal crossbars.
Pull the net on the crossbar, woven or wire - on the stack we will hang bottles.
Prepare plastic bottles with lids. In this project, 1500 liters of bottles from different drinks were used. Remove the labels, wash the bottles.
Consider the color scheme of your canopy.This can be a specific drawing, image (smile, sun, symbol) or just an abstract pattern, gradient transition of shades and so on. It is not easy to imagine the whole picture. However, starting from the desired result, start filling the bottles with colored water. You can pour water to the very bottom. You can color the water with both food coloring and water-soluble paints for drawing.
In each lid, make two holes in the middle and tie a strong thin rope or line. You can punch one hole, pass a rope and tie a large knot from the back of the cap.
Twist the caps with the string onto the bottles andstart hanging them by the net according to the diagram. You can also hang the bottles at different heights, this will give the canopy volume. The bottles can be glued together. Then the canopy made of plastic bottles will not move so much in the wind and get tangled in the threads.
