6 BENEFITS OF USING IRON FENCING & GATES

Many homes today have some sort of fencing and gated entry, for additional privacy and security.

While there a many options available for your fencing and gate needs, wrought iron is considered one of the best options because of these six benefits.

1 DURABILITY Iron is more durable and long lasting than any other type of fencing. Wrought iron is a mixed material, very fibrous in nature and is rust-resistant because of it’s an alloy. This tough material is more impact resistant, resilient to bending and denting making your iron fencing longer lasting.

2 MANY DESIGN OPTIONS Iron fencing and gates come in all shapes and sizes, the possibilities are just about endless. When choosing iron fencing you

have the freedom to choose what best suits your style, with plenty of design options to choose from and the option for custom fabrication.

3 ADDS VALUE Any type of fencing adds value to your property but iron especially adds value because it is an investment. It also adds charm and appeal other fencing and gate materials don’t offer. Having iron fencing and a gate only increases the value of your property if you were ever to sell.

4 EASY MAINTENANCE Although the initial cost of iron fencing can seem like a lot the actual maintenance is fairly simple. If you prefer for your iron to look like-new every few years you can wire brush it, rinse it with water and put a fresh coat of paint on it. The actual condition of the iron will remain solid for years to follow.

5 CONVENIENT INSTALLATION Most iron is manufactured in panels, for the above average DIYer you could probably manage a project like this with a little assistance. Every property differs but for homes on relatively flat land with not many obstacles in the way, you’d dig holes, set your posts in concrete and secure the panels with a horizontal framing bracket.

Regardless if you’re taking on this project

yourself or hiring a professional, installation really isn’t a huge process!

6 SECURITY One of the most popular aspects of adding iron fencing and gates is the added security; it’s a huge deterrent for any unwanted visitors. Another key aspect to iron gates is you can add automatic openers, which is not only added security but also convenience.

DECORATING PUMPKINS WITH SUCCULENTS

Fall…one of the most popular time of year, cool, crisp air, warm and cozy clothes, and pumpkins. We all know the traditional way to ring in fall is with pumpkin carving…but how about trying something new this year… planting succulents in a pumpkin! This is a great way to spice up your average pumpkin decorating, smaller pumpkins also make great table center pieces!

The first question you may have is, how does one plant a succulent on top of a pumpkin? Well, it’s fairly simply… you will need: • A pumpkin • Succulents • Hot glue gun/glue • Sphagnum moss • Scissors • Spray bottle of water You’ll start by clipping the succulents and let them dry out a little bit so they won’t absorb moisture too quickly and rot.

Then you’ll apply glue to the top of the pumpkin in any random pattern that you’ll want your moss and succulents.

Apply the moss to the glued area, then apply a bit of glue to the succulent, try putting the glue on it’s side and not at the end where you snipped it.

Press your succulents into the pumpkin, spritz it with water from the spray bottle and voila!

Try sticking larger and taller items closer to the center of the pumpkin and your smaller items on the outer edge.

The reason we chose to plant a succulent on top of the pumpkins opposed to carving them, filling them with dirt and then planting them is because the pumpkins will rot quicker. Also when you plant the succulent on top of the pumpkin it makes transplanting the succulent later on much easier!

Happy succulent-pumpkin planting!

Fall Smoothie Bowls Come to our tasty smoothie demonstration Smoothie bowls have been trending for quite some time and for a good reason.

A smoothie bowl has unlimited possibilities in taste, looks and health benefits.

Smoothie bowls are inherently healthy because of the use of whole foods, mostly including fruits and some vegetables.

When using fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables you’re simply adding to your vitamin and mineral intake for the day and it is a great way to get in a variety of nutrients. A few common ingredients

to add to the health benefits of a bowl include chia seeds, hemp seeds, avocado, cacao nibs, flax seeds, protein powder and so much more! Once the smoothie is prepped and blended, you then add toppings of your choice. Popular toppings include sliced fresh fruit of choice, granola, coconut flakes, additional seeds and more!

The toppings are the fun part because you can always mix it up with what you’re putting on top, giving it a different flair every time!

No question that purchasing or building an outdoor fire pit can add warmth, style and drama to your backyard, patio or deck. That uniquely relaxing and captivating feeling of sitting around a campfire with friends, family, or a special one no longer has to wait for the annual camping trip. Thousands of people now make it happen right in their backyard throughout the year.

Before you have one designed, there’s one

thing you’ll want to consider carefully, so that your new outdoor fire pit provides the kind of warmth, style and drama you’ll want to experience for years to come.

Plan now to take the following precautions when using your wood burning fire pit, so it’ll bring the right kind of drama and excitement to your backyard.

Being careful and using common sense must be considered when designing your new outdoor fire pit. Safety has to be high on the priority list. If not, the potential for injury to yourself and others, as well as damage to your property and that of your neighbors, greatly increases.

• Keep a fire extinguisher, container of water, or other source of water near-by.

• Don’t ever leave your fire unattended, and make sure the fire is completely out before heading to bed, even if it means filling a smoldering fire pit with water.

• Take special care to keep little children and pets from getting too close, and never ever leave them unattended near a fire.

• Don’t sacrifice safety to save a few bucks on an outdoor fire pit, extinguisher, etc. It’s not worth the risk.

• Consider the position your fire pit and keeping it at least 10 feet away from flammable materials or objects: lowhanging branches; piles of dry grass, leaves or brush; gas cans; your house...

Make sure you have plenty of space around and above your fire pit.

• Gauge placement of your outdoor fire pit according to wind patterns and where the smoke will be blowing.

• Don’t overfill your outdoor fire pit with wood or wood substitutes. Likewise, don’t over-gas your outdoor gas fire pit. You don’t want the flames to get too high or unmanageable.

• Use a spark screen with your fire pit.

• Use a fire pit pad or flagstone underneath your outdoor fire pit or fireplace on wooden decks.

Check the laws in your area before • building any outdoor fire. In different parts of the country, those laws vary.

Contact your local fire department to find out where fires or grills can be used in your area.

Familiarizing yourself with safety guidelines such as these should go a long way toward ensuring that your outdoor fire pit provides many years of enjoyment and pleasant experiences. Relax and enjoy the moment with those who are special to you.
