DIY Gutter Projects

In a world that’s trying to ‘go green,’ it’s wise to reuse and recycle as many products as we can. Sure, you probably recycle cans and bottles by throwing them into bins that your sanitation services pick up, but have you ever thought of recycling your gutters? If you replaced your gutters and still have the old ones lying around, use them in some DIY projects to upgrade and decorate your home.

1. Gutter Paint Rack: Do you have a garage littered with paint cans & bottles? How about a craft room rolling in ribbon? Cut and fasten old gutters to the wall to make an easy storage rack. You’ll free up space, and everything will be organized.
2. Gutter Book Shelf: Is your little one a book-lover? Use gutters to create simple bookshelves in your child’s bedroom or playroom. You can even hang them just a few feet above the floor so your children can grab the books themselves.
3. Gutter Cable Holder: Nobody likes having wires hanging from their desks. Attach gutters to the underside of your desk or table to cradle all the computer and charging wires. Now you won’t risk accidentally pulling on a wire with your foot.

   Gutter Lawn Edging: Do you have any unsightly spaces between your grass and the sidewalk or just want to add a nice touch to your lawn? Install old gutters filled with rocks or mulch in that space to add a pretty, decorative trim to your yard.
5. Gutter Wine Cooler: With summer coming up, what better way to keep your drinks cold than with a gutter cooler? Swap out the middle piece of a wooden picnic table for a section of gutter. Fill it with ice, and enjoy your drinks without even having to get up.
