Doing reusable peg of PET bottles for home and garden flowers. My experience of manufacturing

Pegs are relevant for the garden works, for garter them plant and used to secure some types of indoor plants. So I decided to try to make one of the plastic bottles, so he turned reusable and performs its function.

No sooner said than done

I took liter plastic bottle, neck and bottom cut off, and the body is itself divided into four parts.

Each workpiece is bent in the folding plates, because the tube is not holding shape and inconvenient in the further process of production.

Then the plate put on pin 8 mm and wound in the course of plastic tape, cut into butylkoreze (reference to it will be below the article). Such winding hold the workpiece in the heat treatment and dryer will be compressed together with the plate forming a pipe.

After blowing dryer at a second preform dress pin overlaps with the first ready-made tube and repeat the process. We get four tubes, one of which was collected in the finished socket. One edge of the cut off at an angle for easy entering the peg in the ground.

Bonding joints, nail proplavlivaya their heated on gas, you can use an electric soldering iron. And thus, it is possible to pass along the edge of the tube to maximize the peg. It makes sense, to a certain area to burn a hole right through to start a garter for the plants in it.

Result

The resulting peg has sufficient strength and is ready to do its job, the green color does not allocate it to the background of the plant. Length turned, exactly 50 centimeters, agree well.

Advantages and disadvantages
