If they are metal (iron) you need special tools to cut and weld them. If plastic and clean I would take them. Plastic can be cut with a saw. A long piece could be cut up into smaller varying lengths, stood upright in a cluster, fixed to a board, filled with compost and plants put in them.Meanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-9857377310445871532017-09-26T06:27:08.819+01:002017-09-26T06:27:08.819+01:00Hurray for your eagle-eyed finds!Hurray for your eagle-eyed finds!Darwin Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05715389494434546700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-21925308205952004302017-09-26T04:46:12.797+01:002017-09-26T04:46:12.797+01:00Okay, I give.

I have seen this term on a number of UK blogs and thought it was a group of like-minded people getting together to chat and make things, but my daughter says she thinks it's seniors planning the next great train robbery (hence the "crafty").
