Ideas for your Australia Day DIY home project

With the Australia Day period fast approaching many minds start to think about what home DIY project they can get stuck into?

The key to any successful home DIY project is to not bite off more than you can chew. Sometimes DIY projects can take longer than you think, and when you run out of time and leave a project half done it can be frustrating.

So we suggest being DIY smart and start with DIY projects that will:

• Have high impact and can be done in one period
• Make your life easier
• Make you feel good
• Add value to your home

Have your DIY ducks in a row

In the lead up to Australia Day make sure you have everything you need the night before, so when you get up the following morning you can grab a coffee and get stuck right in without the need for fluffing around.

That means making sure you have all the tools and equipment you need to make the projects work as well as the materials you need to make your project a success.

To help, you can order what you need from Ullrich Aluminium and arrange pick up or delivery for the day before your project commences. And remember Ullrich Aluminium stock a range of hardware, like measuring tapes, fasteners, cutters, etc, so you can order most things you need from the one place. Simply drop into a branch and say G’day. Our staff are also very helpful with suggestions and advice.

Remember, if your order is large in volume or awkward in size, like decor panels, make sure you have somewhere to store the items until you start the project.

We have five quick DIY projects you may like to consider for the Australia Day period, these include:

1. Add privacy and shade using the perforated Ullrich Aluminium panels or choose from our range of décor shade panels. 
2. Update your mesh screen doors – Ullrich Aluminium stock aluminium screen mesh as well as fabric material options.
3. Get the ladder you need to clean out the gutters or wash windows that are higher up – but remember to follow all safety instructions when working at heights.
4. Speaking of working at heights, why not get a couple of trestles and a plank so you can breeze through the painting job.
5. Organise your laundry or garage spaces with our range of storage and shelving options.

Happy Australia Day 2022!
