A plastic bottle as a finished building material: pros and cons
Plastic bottle this is a great achievement and, at the same time, the misfortune of our millennium. On the one hand, a cheap, durable, recyclable packaging for liquids of almost any kind. On the other hand, it is quite time-consuming and not environmentally friendly to process, independently, practically non-degradable material. But, this, if we generalize and consider the problem of plastic bottles globally.
In the framework of the summer cottage, the disposal of plastic bottles can be very interesting, i.e. It can be used as a building material.
Why is a plastic bottle so good as a building material?
The pros are:
Plastic bottle is
- cheap and affordable building material: You can buy lemonade or other drinks in plastic containers in absolutely any store (from a small store in a holiday village to a huge supermarket).
- Strong, resilient and lightweight building material: allows you to build real durable structures that are resistant to mechanical stress large-scale structures.
- water-, moisture-, sun- and biologically stable building material:it burns out extremely slowly, is not at all afraid of the effects of water, in liquid form, and if the plastic bottle was used as a building material clean (without residues of sweet contents), then it is also a universal building material resistant to insects, bacteria and mushrooms!
- is a good heat insulator: in a holistic, finished form, to a lesser extent, in a modified (cut off, arranged) is a good heat insulator, due to the low thermal conductivity of the plastic and air contained in the bottle itself. When heated, the air cools down for a long time from here its heat-insulating and, to some extent, heating properties.
- standardized building material: in this case, it refers to the size and shape of the plastic bottles. Thanks to standard sizes, they are easy to assemble and use as modules, complementing and modifying the structure of the structure.
Cons can be considered that
- a plastic bottle, like any plastic, can deform under the influence of temperature changes(decrease in size under the influence of the sun, crack from frost).
- a plastic bottle, for some not quite eco-friendly type of material, but these are personal preferences and beliefs, because we live in the modern world, where the share of plastic, both in everyday life and in industry, is high and, already, vital!

Plastic bottles of the fence of which the most common option, the ideal version of the building material in the country, especially for the construction of the fence.
In this case, the fence of plastic bottles can be of several types!
By the method of using the plastic bottle itself and its parts, the following types of fences from the plastic bottle can be distinguished:
- from a whole bottle and cap:usually in this form they use a plastic bottle to create a capital thick and durable concrete wall fence. In this case, the plastic bottle itself is also filled with cement-sand mortar: it turns out to be a kind of cheap and quickly obtained brick.
- from parts of the bottle itself: usually, the top of the bottle is cut off and only a flat glass or only the bottom is used. From such a plastic material, fences of various kinds are obtained. The principle of fastening the very part of the bottle is a wire frame.
- from caps from a plastic bottle: it turns out very bright and beautiful fences are real works of art that fit perfectly into the design of any summer cottage. To attach the covers, you also need a frame: either wooden, or wire.
Fences made of plastic bottles and parts thereof may be suitable
Functional: Considering the fact that a plastic bottle, plastic, in themselves, are very practical, then the fence of plastic bottles performs many functions:
- hide from prying eyesas in the case of a capital fence made of concrete and plastic bottles.
- delimit the territory, at the same time, without dimming the space of both its site and the adjacent neighboring territory, because a plastic bottle, for the most part, is transparent.
- protect the territory of the summer cottage from snow drifts: because, firstly, a fence made of plastic bottles is a fence an obstacle in the way of a snow vortex, and secondly, a fence made of plastic bottles is a means for quickly melting and warming the earth around it (i.e., snowdrifts formed over the winter on one side fences from plastic bottles will quickly and without a trace melt with the advent of the spring sun, and will not lie on a compacted block of ice along the boundaries of the infield until May).
It is believed that the fence of plastic bottles is a flimsy and not quite aesthetic design that falls apart after the first season of use (regardless of whether it is winter or summer). So what can be answered? Yes, it happens. But! The same law applies here: you cannot save on good or when creating something worthwhile!
Want a solid fence made of plastic bottles:
- do not save on the strength of the frame (choose strong and durable materials: wire, wood).
- do not save on the bottles themselves - their number, because the more bottles you use, the stronger and harder (the wind will not blow away) the structure itself, the less it is subject to fading and deformation in the sun.
Decorative: almost any fence made of plastic bottles by itself is already a decoration and a beauty, if everything is thought out correctly and well. The decorativeness of any fence, through the use of plastic bottles and their parts, can be achieved as follows:
- using caps from plastic bottlescreating murals and paintings on the walls.
- using alternating color bottlescreating fancy patterns from stripes and patterns.
