soapy water. Right from stone and porcelain, to fiberglass or carbon fiber,
bathtubs come in a range of materials that add beautiful curves to your personal
bath space. But what to do with a bathtub when it turns old and useless?
Trashing it straight away is not a wise decision because you have to invest a
considerable amount of money in buying a new one.

Making a food and beverage cooler is a great after-use of an old bathtub. Build

bathtub as it is, draw inspiration from the project below to build one that’s
unique and creative.

Can I use an old bathtub in the garden?

You can make planters and water features out of old bathtub to display your love
for sustainability in the garden.
