Your guide to Spring Essentials is here to help you to create a smarter, cleaner and more organised space! \ud83c\udf3c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the clocks going forward this weekend, it is the perfect excuse to reset your workplace or home. Here at Direct2U, we are on hand to help with finding the right solutions for you! From high-quality shelving units to smart recycling bins, a few simple upgrades can make all the difference<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Declutter your home with spring essentials \ud83e\uddf9<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A brand-new season is the perfect excuse to sort out your home environment. This includes de-cluttering your belongings to store them in an organised fashion or throwing them away for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We specially designed our range of garage shelving<\/a> to upgrade your home environment without overwhelming the space. Our budget TUFF 175 Shelving<\/a> starts as low as \u00a323. This offers a cost-effective way to store bulky items you need to grab at a moment\u2019s notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

To kit out your garage fully, our TUFF 360 Garage Shelving Bundles are perfect for the job. Our best-selling Bundle 2<\/a> comes with two large shelving bays, as well as a corner shelving unit. This is perfect for making sure every inch of your garage is usable in an effective manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shelves are fully adjustable, ensuring items of any size can fit with absolute ease. The capacity of these shelves is 250-360kg, making them heavy-duty for holding tools. Plus, when you order before 3pm, you can receive this shelving the next working day!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"TUFF<\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

The decluttering process can often reveal items that require storage in your loft. This can include boxes for technology in your house or seasonal items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To assist with making this space accessible, we offer a wide selection of ladders<\/a>, helping to boost accessibility. Our favourite Werner Telescopic Loft Ladder<\/a> is capable of reaching up to 2.6m. Compact in size, it is easy to store in your loft until the next time you require access.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Werner<\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For a more portable option, the Werner D Rung Double Extension Ladder<\/a> is perfect for the job. It can reach heights of 1.85m, ideal for the loft as well as completing outside chores. This can range from cleaning the windows to repainting underneath the gutters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encourage sustainable habits at work \ud83d\udeb2<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spring is a fresh start, and the perfect time to make greener choices in the workplace. A few simple swaps in the day-to-day routines can help to encourage sustainable habits that last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longer days with nicer weather are a great motivator for people to cycle to and from work. And here at Direct2U, we offer a great range of cycle shelters<\/a> suitable for reliable bicycle storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Our best-selling Fortis Cycle Shelter<\/a> has a galvanised frame and a PETG roof. Weather-resistant, it helps to protect bikes from rain. The feet are fully adjustable, making this design easy to integrate outside workplaces. Simply choose to bolt each foot to tarmac or cement, or grout them into the ground for long-lasting performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, when you buy this cycle parking shelter, you will receive a free Sheffield Cycle Rack capable of holding up to 10 bikes securely. The reliable design encourages more employees to cycle to work. This is because they will know their bike will be safe during the working day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Fortis<\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another great habit to encourage as we move into spring is recycling! Especially as food waste rules are changing across England from early April, it is a great time to help more people recycle daily waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

At Direct2U, we offer a wide range of recycling bins. They help you sort waste and reduce landfill. Recycling Bin Kits<\/a> come with everything required to set up an efficient workplace system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes the Rubbermaid Glutton Recycling Bin Kit<\/a>. It comes with four slim bins, each with an 87L capacity. It also includes different slot sizes, helping to match your local recycling guides. A central folding lid allows for easy access to all the compartments during emptying.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Rubbermaid<\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Keeping personal belongings safe is always a crucial factor in the workplace. And with the spring season upon us, why not opt for our stylish Retro Charging Lockers<\/a>? The option to choose either 3-Pin or USB charging ports helps create a locker system that meets your needs. Their vibrant colour will lighten up any room they are placed in, whilst creating convenient storage space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Retro<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Prepare for the summer evenings \u2600\ufe0f<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With summer evenings fast approaching, it is now time to get your garden ready! And here at Direct2U, we can help ensure you have the right outdoor furniture and smart storage to keep everything in order. Plus, our home, garden and leisure<\/a> category has everything you need to be garden party ready!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Our Skandi Caf\u00e9 furniture range is perfect for positioning in gardens or workplace patios. Ideal for eating lunch in the sunshine, the Multi-purpose round table<\/a> is easy to clean with minimal assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chairs are also sold separately in packs of 2, and are available with<\/a> or without armrests<\/a>. As a result, flexible seating areas can be created to best meet your requirements. These chairs can also be stacked, making them easy to store during the winter or when bad weather hits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Skandi<\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Keep your garden looking neat and tidy with our range of wheelie bin storage<\/a>. Coupled with a timber frame exterior, this helps stop your bins from becoming an eyesore. To cater for local council recycling guidelines, our range comes in various orientations, helping to store one, two or three wheelie bins in one. Additionally, locks on each door to stop unwanted access to your bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

To fully kit out your garden for the summer, why not explore our Home, Garden and Leisure<\/a> selection? We offer everything needed for hosting a summer party or picnic, from gazebos<\/a> to swimming pools<\/a>. Our favourite Wood-Fired Pizza Kit<\/a> can cook pizzas up to 14″ in no time at all, with only a 10-minute warm-up required. A portable trolley lets you move this oven indoors with ease, keeping it protected from the elements in bad weather.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
