Wooden decorations look beautiful on their own, but often get lost in a densely planted garden. The situation is completely different with decoration made from birch trunks. The white bark draws everyone's attention and rightly puts the small work of art in the spotlight. On this page you will find creative suggestions for enriching your garden with this handsome type of wood.
Decorative walls can be made from birch trunks
For the garden table
candlestick
A warm summer evening on the terrace only becomes really romantic in the candlelight. If the bright tea lights then also shine from a birch trunk, the evening will be unforgettable.
- To do this, drill small holes with the depth and diameter of conventional tea lights in a birch trunk.
- Now put the tea lights inside.
- Place the birch trunk on your garden table.
- Light the candles at dusk.
Flowerpot
- Hollow out several birch trunks of different lengths.
- Place these on a coaster.
- Fill in some soil.
- Plant the birch trunks with flowering plants.
As garden furniture
seat or shelf
- Saw several birch trunks into many pieces of equal length.
- Put them together in a vertical position so that a circular surface is created.
- Tie the birch trunks together with a cord.
- Depending on the intended use, upholster the seat with cushions.
partition wall
Partition walls made of willow or bamboo can be found in almost every garden. The situation is completely different with long-lasting birch trunks, which are just as great a privacy screen. Cut individual branches to the desired height and simply stick them into the ground next to each other. Additional decorative elements such as bottles or strings of pearls complete the look.
lighting
- Stick two tall birch trunks into the ground to the left and right of your garden seating area.
- Ideally, these have a branch fork at the upper end.
- Here you insert another birch trunk vertically.
- If necessary, nail it down.
- Wrap a chain of lights around the frame or hang colorful lanterns on it.
