3 Creative Ways to Use a Concrete Mixer

Concrete mixers can be used for many fun projects

Concrete and cement mixers may not seem that beneficial, but you would be surprised by how many projects you can create with these machines. Want some inspiration? Here are some ideas we love: 

Concrete Cooler 

Coolers can be expensive, so why not make your own? Concrete coolers are just as functional as the ones you see at the store, and they're simple to make. There are many tutorials online for different cooler designs: round, square, table-style, the list goes on. Check out this blog for an example. 

Concrete Firepit or Fire Bowl 

Like the coolers, you can go many different ways with this project: square, round, a pit, a bowl, etc. You don't need many tools, making this a simple and fun way to enjoy the day. For firepit instructions, click this HGTV blog and relax in your own outdoor patio space in no time. You can also find instructions for a fire bowl on their website as well. 

Concrete Planters

If you're looking for ways to improve your backyard landscape, this one is for you. Use plywood to mould the concrete and create a modern planter. There are also several different ways to create a concrete planner, but here's a blog that will help if you like this design in particular.
