Here’s an idea for using wagon wheels on the deck or porch. It’s extremely simple. Just have the wagon wheels rest on the walls. If you’re having trouble keeping them secure you can have some stoppers or you could attach them to the walls. Use integral wagon wheels as well as parts or rims.

Of course, one beautiful wagon wheel can be everything you need to make your home stand out. For example, this tropical residence features a beautiful wagon wheel mounted on the exterior wall of a covered deck, just above the bench.

The veranda of this residence also features some wagon wheels. The wagon wheel benches give the house a western allure and make it stand out. It’s so simple and yet the impact is so strong. It’s all about knowing what to use and how to use it.
