There’s so much to love about a DIY project. For one, you can let your creativity run wild. You’re in the driver’s seat. You can select projects that suit your skill level, serve your interests and align with your unique style. Plus, when the job’s done, you get to marvel at your work every day. As the IKEA effect has shown us, if we have even a small role in creating something, we’re bound to love the finished product even more.
If you’re looking for a fun DIY project to kickstart the year, read on!
DIY Bike Rack
Bikes can take up a big chunk of space. If you have a big family, managing your bike storage can be even harder. Plus, if your bike’s impossible to reach, you’re probably far less inclined to actually ride it.
To keep your bikes in order, why not try a DIY bike rack? Making it yourself means you get to choose how big it is, and how many bikes it will accommodate.
Once it’s finished and you’re storing your bikes away, make sure you go over your new rack, bike chains, brake and gear change cables with some INOX-MX5. This will not only make sure everything is squeak-free, but in good condition for the next time you or the family ride your bikes.
DIY Fishing Rod Rack
Stop your rods from getting tangled, prevent your reels from getting scratched and minimise snapped tips with an easy DIY fishing rod rack. Plus for further maintenance, use INOX-MX3 and INOX MX4 to keep your fishing reels free from salt corrosion and well lubricated.
DIY Hanging Planters
Hanging pots bursting with plant life are a stunning way to freshen up your space. They can be used anywhere around the house – indoors or outdoors. Plus, they’re great for people living in smaller houses or apartments who still love having a garden. To keep the plant pot chain in good shape and protected from rust or corrosion, give it a quick wipe over with INOX MX3 every once and awhile.
DIY Outdoor Shower
Outdoor showers can add a bit of a ‘resort luxury’ feel to any home. They are also super practical if you want a quick rinse off before or after jumping in the pool. Plus, you can build an outdoor shower using your existing garden hose – so there’s no need to call in a plumber. To ensure your shower looks fantastic year round, protect the shower head and taps from the elements by applying INOX MX4 regularly.
DIY Outdoor Entertaining Area
A stunning outdoor living area can make those summer get-togethers even more memorable. If you have unused space in your yard, treat this as your blank canvas!
Plus, it turns out you only need basic materials and tools to create an outdoor living area worthy of the magazine pages. Applying LANOX-MX4 to your furniture and other accessories (such as barbeques or light fittings) will keep your outdoor entertaining space protected from corrosion.
So, what will be your next DIY project? No matter what you choose, keeping a can of INOX in your toolbox is a sure way to keep the operation running smoothly.
