I'm currently using an old rusted out water tank as a giant compost storage barrel.
I've seen small animal pens and dog kennels made from the A-frames of old swing sets; as well as old cubby houses and water tanks used for the same purpose, by former neighbours.
One of my friends has used old shoes and boots as small plant pots.
My grandmother used an old bed as a raised table for some of her pot plants, and she used old bathtubs as raised beds for her strawberries.
I've been collecting unwanted toilets to use as garden seating (more on that project at a much later date when I finally get around to it).
I've also seen an old slide similar to the one in the thumbnail used to temporarily divert water from a broken downpipe into the garden away from the house.
