RECYCLED TIRE ROCKER
A rocker from old tires.
Step 1: Find yourself a tire and saw it in half.
Step 2: Spray paint your tire with a white primer.
Step 3: Once your primer dries, cut 2 2×4′s the width of the tire and level, then screw in. 2 screws on each side.
Step 4: Cut a 1×8 plank (we used cedar – as it was the sraps we had available) to the length of the tire.
Step 5: Attach the plank to the 2×4′s already attached to the tire.
Step 6: Reassemble your pieces.
