Sometimes a person begins to think better in non-standard situations, logic, intelligence and ingenuity begins to work here. Sometimes, all these qualities in man are exacerbated when there are not enough money to buy something and have to do everything. In any case, ingenuity useful human quality that will help in many situations. Let's talk today about how with your own hands you can create a raft from plastic bottles without any help and find out what we need for this.
Nuances of manufacture
It may immediately seem that the process of assembling the fleet is an unbearable inexperienced handicrafts, but it is not at all so, because there are three main factors in the process under consideration:
- the presence of the required material
- desire to create a high-quality raft
- the growth of hands from the prescribed place (the ability to attach one item to another and, if necessary, reflect a little during the creation of the fleet).
Depending on the size of the future roof, you need to use bottles of different values. It is clear that if you need a big raft, then, accordingly, the bottles of large are suitable for these purposes best, and vice versa.
If you often leave with your friends in nature and, especially if such trips last long enough, then you can do with accumulated plastic bottles with two methods:
- Just throw them on garbage
- Build a useful construction that can be useful at any time (go to another beach, to carry products from one place to another, help get to the right place to those who do not know how to swim, etc.)
Horizontal plastic container location
There are several options for the construction of the design under consideration, and let's first consider the option with the horizontal placement of bottles. In this case, the finished design will resemble a regular mattress that inflated for swimming:
- You can start the manufacture from a small fleet. Here you will like the bottles of 100-150. If you would have to wash each bottle for making any garden crafts. Get rid of labels and glue on them, then in our case, you can do anything to do anything (except to contempt the bottles stickers to not contaminate with water). It turns out that the manufacturing process is already simplified, which cannot but rejoice.
- In order for stickers together with glue very well, you can soak bottles in powder, but it is not recommended to use solvent for the purposes under consideration, because the laundering process, although it will be faster, but along with this, you can get holes in bottles, which should not be.
- It is also necessary to know that the usual plastic bottle is not the best option for the construction of the fleet. The optimal option in this case is:
- Unscrew the covers from all bottles, put them in the fridge for a while.
- Then pull out from the cold, immediately spin each lid and put in some warm place.
- Thus, you will get elastic and dense bottles that are great for the construction of the fleet. Among other things, the construction of such dense bottles is perfectly kept on the water, and it will not work out under any circumstances (if you do not disassemble it in parts).
- When the raw material is prepared, you can now connect all the components into a single whole. In order to harden all the bottles with each other, you will need two-way tape, but best, if you have a tape at hand.
- In order for the manufacturing design to be stable, make it standing in several layers.
- Now we collect gradually design. To begin with fastening 4 bottles, which will be one sector. In this case, it is necessary to place the bottles so that their narrow parts look at the side. Such sectors need to be done so much that the size of the fleet satisfied the manufacturer and the company that will exploit it.
- Now from the sectors connected in between, you need to form a horizontal two-layer row. Such rows will need to make 6 pieces.
- If you want to organize a raft in the form of a mattress, then you will have to arrange another layer at the very top of the root. Which will have size - three bottles in height and a pair of length (we get a kind of pillow for the mattress).
- Now it will be necessary to connect all the available parts into one in such a way that one row looks at you with a neck, and another donkey, so you can create a truly durable design.
- Do not forget that it will be necessary to overtake all parts, it will be possible to wind up the tape again, in order for one hundred percent to be confident that the raft on the way to another bank or in the middle of the reservoir will not crush as a card house.
- Among other things, you also need to fully cover the sides of the design created, so that in the case of the oncoming reeds, snaps, their sharp parts did not damage the raft from plastic bottles.
Now you know how quickly and without any particular problems create a raft from plastic bottles and will go on it on a journey through the water and the lake, the river, the sea or the ocean). By creating your raft, you can be confident in its quality characteristics, because only t you and will depend on the safety of the trip on it. Good luck in your building endeavors.
