Essential Outdoor Projects for Spring 2018

April 23, 2018

Spring is here again, and whether you’re planning to get your house on the market or relax outdoors this season, it’s time to get to work! According to research from Virginia Tech, upgrading a home’s landscape from average to excellent can raise its overall value by 10 to 12 percent. The following landscape elements were found to be most important to survey respondents: design sophistication, plant size and the diversity of plant material type.

If you aren’t selling your home, why not make improvements now to turn that boring backyard into an outdoor lounge? At Deelat Industrial, we have what you need for projects large and small.

Garden Tools

You’ll want to plant attractive shrubs and beautiful flowers this season, so stock up on the right tools for the job.

With handles made from Ailanthus Altissima, a hard wood originating from China, our shovels and spades are rugged and can handle hours of digging, lifting and moving soil and sand. Among the other handle materials available are aluminum alloy, aspen wood and birch.

Once the plants are in the ground, it’s time to give them a good look. In addition to SS Professional Pruning Shears (D1160567), which have aluminum alloy blades, we have long-reach garden scissors (D1155206) for pruning, cutting and trimming those hard to reach plants.

Sprayers

A variety of sprayers are available from Deelat for gardening and outdoor maintenance applications. With capacities ranging from four to 17 liters, you will be able to store and spray all manner of cleaning and gardening related chemicals. The spray flow can be adjusted to create a fog spray for fine application on large areas, or a more streamlined spray for stronger application on a specific target. In addition to manual sprayers, we offer electric pressure washers, which feature rechargeable batteries and come in capacities of 16 or 25 liters.

Pressure Washers

As you finish your gardening projects, you may notice debris on your sidewalk, patio, walkway or brickwork. And perhaps the siding on your house is looking dingy now that your landscaping is top notch. With a pressure washer from Deelat, such as the D1774621, you can blast away, comfortable in the knowledge that its nine-horse power gasoline engine and 3000 PSI stream can handle the task.

SKU# D1774621

Solar Garden Lights

Solar powered landscape lights are a wonderful addition to a landscaped yard. Installing them is easy due to the fact that they are wireless. Try the short cup design (D1151541), which is made from durable aluminum alloy and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic; or the European-styled D1173514 light, which is constructed out of high quality aluminum. Both of these 100-lumen LED lights can be mounted on top of brick, concrete or wood structures and screwed into place.

Tips to prepare holiday decorations outside of your home

December 13, 2017

It’s that time of year again when we all feel the need to celebrate the holiday season by covering our house in as many festive lights and decorations as possible, channeling our inner Clark Griswold. Of course, you don’t need to go to National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation lengths to make your home look good.

It’s probably better for your sanity if you do scale it back from covering the entire building in lights to ensure you don’t have a sky high electricity bill once the new year roles around. There are lots of ways you can get the outside of your house ready for Christmas, so here’s a few great tips!

Let there be (solar) lights!

There aren’t many more festive sights than beautiful displays of decorative lights outside your home at Christmas time, so make sure you don’t miss out. If you are concerned about the cost towards your bank account and also the planet for using more electricity, why not make the switch to solar Christmas lights this year? They look just as festive and come in all shapes, sizes, colors and styles, so you can get your holiday house looking the best it ever has, all thanks to the power of the sun.

Get ready to battle the snow

It’s not just about making your home look pretty of course, there is also the winter weather to think about. There are many things you can do to take control of your property even when the weather outside is frightful, from buying snow melting mats for your driveway to investing in a salt spreader plow if you have a lot of land you want to make safe from slippery icy patches. If you really want to show the snow who’s boss, you can even get a snow blower or outdoor de-icing cables.

Use your garden as decoration

Of course, while you’re thinking of how to decorate the outdoor spaces of your home, don’t forget that you already have some amazing decorative elements out there – namely your garden and the plants and bushes within it. So make sure you utilize them by decorating them with baubles and tinsel and of course lights, which don’t necessarily have to be Christmas lights. They can be any kind as long as they accentuate the great things about your garden.

However you choose to decorate your home this holiday season, we at Deelat Industrial hope you have a very Merry Christmas and don’t forget us in the New Year for any of your industrial or domestic needs. We’ve got you covered with quality products at low, affordable prices. Shop with us and save!

Tips For Making Your Home More Environmentally Friendly

November 1, 2017

For many of us, taking care of the environment is a real priority in our lives as we try to minimize the negative impact we make on the planet. Whether it’s a concern over climate change, the desire to leave the world a better place than we found it (or at least not worse) or simply the opportunity to save a few bucks on gas and electricity bills, there’s plenty of reasons to go green!

There are also lots of ways to do this, and the best place to start is from home. We spend a lot of time in our homes and usually focus on our own comfort, which can be at the expense of the environment. Some examples include, leaving lights or electronic devices turned on when not in use, or using more water and heating than we probably should.

Below are some tips on how you can make your home more environmentally friendly without sacrificing your own comfort:

Use solar lighting

During the day, the sun lights up your garden and it doesn’t require any electricity or batteries to power it. So why not continue that same method when the sun goes down? The best kind of lighting solutions you could use in your backyard are available as solar-powered options, with both decorative and security motion lighting available. You can make your garden more attractive and more secure and it doesn’t cost the planet. At Christmas time, you can also buy solar-powered decorations for the outside of your home to add a green touch to your festivities.

Food and drink storage

So much of the damage being done to the environment is caused by food waste and packaging. It all comes wrapped in plastic and cardboard, and buying bottles of water is one of the worst things you can do if you are trying to be environmentally friendly. Instead, why not buy a water bottle that you can re-use as often as you’d like? And when it comes to food, homemade meals and storage boxes that cut down on waste, are the way forward.

Keep an eye on the bills

Of course, during the winter months you need to keep your home at a safe and comfortable temperature, but sometimes it can be tempting to turn on the central heating and then forget about it until you realize how hot it is. By that stage, your bills have skyrocketed and the planet is worse off. Invest in a proper LCD thermostat that allows you to take control of your heating, cut down on your bills and make your home more environmentally friendly.

Tips for cleaning and organizing a garage or tool shed

August 21, 2017

Having a garage or tool shed is essential for anyone who needs that extra space to store tools, outdoor toys, bicycles, go karts, lawnmowers, automobile maintenance accessories and much more! However, as one will quickly become aware, it’s easy to get carried away when it comes to storing things in a place that’s separate from a living space, and these areas can quickly get out of control.

Suddenly, instead of having a handy place to store important items, your garage or tool shed has become a disaster zone and you can no longer find anything that you stored away in the first place. It’s time to take control, but where do you start? Here are some tips for cleaning and organizing a garage or tool shed:

Start From Scratch – The first thing you need to do is get ruthless. The only way to properly clean and organize your shed or garage is to empty it out first. For starters, you’ll actually find all those things you haven’t seen for 15 years be able to take stock of everything. Secondly, you’ll finally be able to get everything clean! Throw away, recycle or donate the things you don’t need anymore and you’ll be well on your way to a storage space that actually makes sense.

Get Scrubbing – Once your garage or shed is empty, you need to do a full deep clean to get rid of all of the dust, dirt and cobwebs. Make sure you have the right equipment, which needs to be more janitorial and industrial than your everyday cleaning materials due to the types of surfaces you’ll be cleaning. The main tip for how to clean is to start from the top and work down, ensuring you aren’t knocking cobwebs down onto cleaner surfaces.

Give It New Life – Once everything is clean, you have the chance to add some decoration, whether it’s painting the floor or the walls to make everything look and feel fresh and new. It’s also a good chance to add new lighting options inside to brighten things up and make it easier to find things.

Correct Your Storage Options – You’ve got everything ready to go back into the garage or shed. It’s all clean, painted and lit up like new! What you need here is critical and that’s the proper storage and shelving options to make your life easier. Whether it’s industrial shelving, cabinets or bins and containers, there are many different options out there to suit your specific needs and making the right decisions now will help determine how successful the entire project will be in the years to come.

Tips for Yard Clean Up and Maintenance

June 26, 2017

One of the downsides to the warm and sunny weather that summer brings is that the more time you spend in your back yard, the more you realize just how much of that time you need to start spending on cleaning and maintenance. At first the sunglasses and beer goggles might help shield your eyes from the problem areas, but eventually you’ll need to do something about it.

It’s a pain, and they’re not called chores for nothing, but it’ll be well worth it when you’re able to sit back and relax in a clean and well-maintained yard. You can feel satisfied knowing that you won’t need to do anymore yard work again for… at least a week or two.

Below are Deelat’s top tips for yard clean-up and maintenance:

Get the right tools for the job

It’s the same for all of us; you never realize that your gardening tools are rusty and basically useless until the point at which you try to actually use them for something. It’s a sign that you probably should be using them more often and also a sign that you need to buy something new and non-rusty. Whether it’s pruning shears that actually trim hedges and shrubs really well, or a new lawnmower, you need to make sure you’re not going to be wasting your time trying to do maintenance with substandard equipment.

SKU #D1160567

Apply some pressure

Sometimes, the hardest parts of the yard to get looking good again are the parts that garden trimmers and lawnmowers won’t help you with. It’s the paved areas that can look grimy and neglected, and a simple blast with a hose pipe won’t do much to shift that grime. What you need is a good pressure washer that will bring some power to your cleaning efforts and leave your yard looking fresh and new again. They are surprisingly affordable and definitely worth owning rather than renting.

Don’t forget the pool

If you’re lucky enough to own a pool, the summer is when you’ll be using it the most often, which means you will want to make sure it’s clean and ready to spend time in, especially if you’re planning to have a pool party. This is a job you could pay someone else to do, but why not save some money and do it correctly by purchasing your own pool vacuum and cleaner? You can even get a robotic one which will do the majority of work in those hard to reach places.

Get the finishing touches right

If you’re going to all the effort of cleaning and maintaining your back yard, why not go the extra mile to improve its appearance? It doesn’t even have to cost that much to add the finishing touches to a neat and tidy yard. Adding some decor and functionality like outdoor solar lights will bring some illumination and sparkle to your yard space with a minimum cost and effort required, not to mention ensuring that all of your hard work doesn’t get missed after the sun goes down.
