Laundry room sink

I don’t think there is anything wrong with using your old Belfast sink as a laundry room sink.

Not only can you wash your hands, face, but utensils as well before bringing them back to your home.

Make sure to make a self wherein your kids can place their toys and other similar kinds of stuff.

Why not paint your table with a color that is attractive for your kids?

Use it as a planter

The interesting thing about an old Belfast sink is that it can be designed as a planter.

In order to convert your sink into a planter, you would be needing big stones.

Big stones will make the drainage easy as they would be too big to go down the hole.

Even a sink strainer would do the trick for you.

The next thing that you need to do is to add soil inside your Belfast sink and plant things of your choice.

Make sure the seeds that you’re planning to plant in your planter should be of plants with small leaves and small roots.

Needless to say, such plants have better chance of surviving in containers because they are drought tolerant.

And, the best thing is, you can choose to place the planter indoors and plant flowers for decoration.

Make sure to place a bucket beneath the drain to catch the draining water in case, you’re using the planter indoors.

The water can be reused on the plants or disposed of.

A planer can be used for multiple purposes including as a seed nursery wherein you can later relocate the seedlings to your vegetable and flower gardens.

Make it an animal station

The size of the Belfast sink makes it suitable for conversion into animal station.

The most important task that you need to perform is to cement the drain hole to close it and use the sink as a feeder for animals.

A Belfast sink is known for its robustness, durability, and longevity making it perfect for animal use.

Just because a Belfast sink is heavy and bulky so animals can’t kick it down easily.

During the raining season, it’s highly advisable to place the sink feeder underneath trees or roofed places to prevent rain from spoiling the contents in the feeder.

This prevents animal feeds wastage.

Of course, the Belfast sink can also serve as a water point for animals.

You can even use it to create a birdbath for birds such as ducks.

Sell your Belfast sink to the reuse stores

Last but not least, you can sell your Belfast sink to the reuse stores in the aforementioned uses aren’t working out for you.

But, before opting for selling to the reuse store, make sure your Belfast sink is clean, disinfected, and in good shape.

Remove all the features attached to your sink.

Most of the reuse store will only take the sinks that are in good shape so you need to make sure that your Belfast sink is in good shape and size before approaching a reuse store.

Furthermore, call the reuse store and explain them the current condition of your sink, and only when they agree to ACCEPT your sink, you deliver it.
