In the words of Jon Snow, winter is coming. There’s not long left to get everything in order for those colder months. Winter is a time for cosy nights in, Christmas preparation and spending time with friends and family. Or at least it should be…Make sure you’re not missing out on the festivities by preparing for winter with My Tool Shed’s top 7 home essentials.1. Outdoor lightingAs the cold weather approaches, so do the dark nights and late mornings. Keep your garden and your home’s surroundings well-lit all year round with some outdoor lighting. Not only is this a practical investment for your home, it will also deter burglars and unwanted visitors. It’s a win-win.2. Smoke detectorsThose cosy nights in around the fire are an essential part of winter for many. But, it’s important to keep safe too. With all the extra indoor heat that winter brings, and the use of log fires, the risk of fire and carbon monoxide can increase. Keep yourself and your loved ones safe with smoke and carbon detectors around your home.3. DehumidifiersIf you suffer from allergies, the winter can bring a flurry of coughs and sneezes your way. Help to keep symptoms at bay with a dehumidifier. As well as reducing the sniffly noses and watery eyes, a dehumidifier can even help to keep your home warm. By drying out the air, heat can travel around the house quicker.4. HeatersIt goes without saying that you’ll want to keep warm during these cold months. Sometimes, your home’s heating just doesn’t cut it. For those cold nights, invest in a portable heater to keep you toasty around your home. Remember, safety first! Don’t cover the heater or put it next to anything flammable.5. Door bellsWith winter comes a flock of visitors – some of them even invited! Be sure to greet guests with open arms, not leaving them out in the cold for too long. Never miss a trick-or-treater or a troop of carollers with a new door bell. You could even set up a Christmas chime to get you ready for the big day!6. Door LocksSo, you’re all set up to welcome in visitors. But, how about keeping unwanted guests at bay? Burglars are more likely to attack during the winter months, particularly around Christmas time. Don’t panic, there’s no need to re-enact Home Alone to keep safe. Simply secure your doors with extra night latches and locks.7. Security CamerasWith extra door locks and motion sensor lighting, you’re sure to keep thieves away. But, you can never be too safe. A camera outside your home has been proven to deter burglars, even if it doesn’t work! Even better, with a working camera, you can check who’s knocking and avoid chatting to your nosy neighbours.Be ready for winter with My Tool Shed Don’t get caught unprepared. The cold weather is fast approaching, and My Tool Shed are here to get you equipped. We stock everything you could need for home preparation, from outdoor floodlights to fire extinguishers.Take a look around our site and see our extensive product range for yourself. Be sure to get in touch with our team with any questions or for more information about any of our products.

Outdoor Work Gear We’re quickly turning the corner into winter, and with that comes cold weather, dark evenings and frozen ground. Working outdoors in these conditions can be daunting and, sometimes, even dangerous. Lucky for you, My Tool Shed are here to help. Read on to discover our essentials for keeping safe and warm while you work outdoors in the winter.  Gloves Numb fingers can be a work-hindering nuisance in the winter months. Especially when working with power tools. Cold fingers can slow you down and, most importantly, could cause accidents. Of course, choosing the correct gloves for the equipment is always important, particularly in cold weather. Some sturdy, lined leather gloves are the perfect way to keep frostbite at bay.  Hats Wearing a hat while working outdoors is just as much for safety as it is for warmth. For light, open air work, opt for a warm beanie to keep your ears nice and toasty. But if you’re working on a construction site, or underneath anything that could possibly fall, a hard hat is fundamental for safety. Throw on a hard hat over your beanie, to stay safe and warm.  Clothing Whether you spend your day working outdoors or you like to get out in the garden after work, it’s important to be dressed for the occasion. If you’re out all day, or even all night, you need to wrap up and make sure you stay that way. Layer up with some thermals under a jumper or hoodie and be sure to stock up on waterproofs for the inevitable downpours. Lights The lack of light in winter can really eat away at your productive work hours. Avoid missing out on valuable time with site lighting. Useful both at work and in the garden, portable lights are an essential tool for those colder months. Head torches are also great for working on the move, particularly for intricate jobs that require a lot of light. Tarpaulin Along with the cold weather in the UK, the winter months often bring with them a lot of rain. Don’t let your hard work go to waste. Cover up any damageable areas overnight with some tarpaulin. Remember to protect yourself against the harsh winds, too. Add some clip on eyelets and peg your tarp to the ground for an extra secure fitting.  Radio Even with the cold weather, a radio is an essential for those working outdoors. Save yourself from the long hours of silence with a portable site radio. Or, better still, invest in one with Bluetooth connectivity so you can choose your own tunes to sing to. Be sure to get a long enough extension lead so you can keep the music playing no matter where you are.  Keep safe in the cold with My Tool Shed From winter woollies to waterproof tarp, My Tool Shed has everything you need for working outdoors in the winter. Make sure you’re stocked up and ready to go – there’s not long left! Any questions? Don’t hesitate to contact our friendly team of tool experts for more information.
