Regardless of the reason that you’re trying to spruce up your home, one of the best ways to add all sorts of appeal to your yard is metal yard art. If you’re able to use the simplest of materials to put everything together, the entire process will be so much easier.
Here are some of the best examples that you can utilize.
Birdhouse
This is one product that can bring such an uplifting feeling to any yard. While metal is a great material to use for this, always ensure that you use aluminum, as this will ensure that the interior will remain cooler.
Lantern
Regardless of the specific aesthetic you’re going for, metal that is both low-cost and environmentally-friendly is the best way to go when putting a lantern together. All you’ll need is a hammer, nails, and a few cans that have been scrubbed and have no labels. The nails will create a pattern of holes in the cans, which will allow the light to shine through after a candle has been placed inside them.
Sculpture
Any sculpture that you put together yourself can create a great sense of drama for any yard. All you have to do is gather together multiple metal scraps from either your garage or local recycling center that you feel look interesting enough and arrange them in a manner that appears to be rather pleasing. Once everything is soldered together, you can then mount or hang the finished piece.
Feeder
This is always a wonderful way to attract all sorts of local wildlife. For something like this, an old lantern will always work the best. If possible, you will want to go with a style such as a canister that contains and open top and bottom, or you can even take one apart and open it up on your own. Additionally, you will also need to have a metal tray that can be used to catch bird seed.
