Using the long weekend to tackle a DIY project

The long weekend is almost here and while some will use it as a time to relax, watch some rugby and get together with friends, that day off work can also be a great time to complete any DIY projects you've been putting off.

With summer just around the corner, it could be the perfect opportunity to get your garden in good shape. Mowing, cutting the hedges, trimming trees and DIY gardening projects can make a huge difference, and none of these actions take very long once you've got the right equipment.

Kennards Hire has several mowers and slashers available, and they all come in a range of sizes to match the terrain they'll be used in. The Groundmaster 4000D, for example, is a broad area mower with three separate cutting units that offer a 3,350mm cutting width.

This product can cut up to 4.3 hectares per hour, and can maneuver around the tightest turns due to its short wheel base.

Other mowers include zero-turn and outfront models.

It may be tempting to relax this Labour Day, but think of all you could get done with that extra day around the house.
