Survive the heat
SURVIVE the heat while camping during a heatwave. You have a trip planned but the temperatures are set to soar, and the added heat will tire you out, you worry about whether you will enjoy the trip. It’s not ideal but you can still have a great time! Make sure to stay hydrated, and continue to drink water even if you don’t feel like it. You can get dehydrated so easily in high temperatures and before you know it you are lethargic and irritated. Stay away from fizzy drinks and especially alcoholic drinks as they will dehydrate you faster.
Wear loose breathable clothing that covers your skin, don’t be tempted to expose too much skin this will actually make you feel hot and sweaty in the long run. Keeping your skin covered will keep you cooler for longer and protect against sunburn. It goes without saying that suncream is a must, apply factor 50 and keep it topped up and always wear a hat of some kind to protect your head from the sun.
Try to keep your tent open as much as possible and avoid sitting inside for too long as the air will become hot and stuffy and even humid sometimes making it uncomfortable when it’s time to get some sleep.
SINCE 2006, Graham and his son Paul have been providing quality wood products in Almeria and beyond. With over 65 combined years in the timber industry, the familyrun Wood2Go are a knowledgeable and experienced provider and creator of wooden structures in the area.
Whether you are a keen DIY’er wanting to create your own beautiful pieces for your home or business, or a professional builder or joiner, Wood2Go’s doors are open to provide you with the best products, pieces, and advice. From their large workshop situated on the Industrial Estate of Velez Rubio, the experienced team custommakes all of their projects for clientswhether it is a pergola, gazebo, door/window canopy, carport, decking, shed, trellis, fencing, porch, summer house, or anything else that may be requested.
Wood2Go install the majority of the structures made for their clients and also offer a kit form if selfinstallation is desired. All timber used in the fabrication of any project, except the redwood roof battens, is ‘Glulam’ or Glued Laminated Timber. Glulam is made by gluing together, under pressure and heat, laminates of timber that have been accurately planed. The resulting product is strong, stable, and corrosionproof with significant advantages over structural steel and concrete. This type of product is perfect for the hot climate in Spain as it’s less likely to twist or warp and is stronger than ordinary timber. The team have been using this material in their pergola kits, sheds, skirting boards, T and G boarding, and decking boards with great success over the past 15 years. Wood2Go deliver to a wide range of areas, including Murcia,
Almeria, and Granada, and can legally carry up to eight metres in length on their vehicle (but up to 12metre lengths are also possible).
They are continually expanding their products and invite you to discuss your needs. To find out what Wood2Go provides, their custommade projects, and for advice on your own DIY, contact the friendly and professional team today!
