More sheds, boxes and beds added to Keter’s popular Darwin range
Following its original highly successful launch, KETER has now unveiled a suite of additional new products in its DARWIN PORTFOLIO to drive further sales for retailers.
A Darwin raised bed for planting, a 380L Darwin storage box and a 6x4ft with double doors Darwin shed have been added to the range, which already includes the top sellers of the 6x4ft and 8x6ft Darwin sheds. All made with Keter’s Evotech cutting-edge composite technology, this evolution in outdoor storage and gardening has grown in popularity due to its aesthetic appeal, easy assembly, and low maintenance.
Darwin products all look and feel like traditional wood, but with the added benefits of resin, so they are virtually maintenance free. They do not rot, peel, or fade and just require an occasional hose down to keep their subtle shades looking like new season after season.
Another appealing
attribute for consumers is the simplicity of assembly. There’s no need for any special skills or tools, a Darwin item can fit in most cars and the 6x4ft shed can also go from flatpack to functional in under two hours – if not quicker. The Darwin sheds, available in two different shades of earthy colours
(brown and grey), have double wall panels for greater strength and rigidity and feature a window to let in natural light and ventilation ducts. Included as standard is a heavy-duty floor panel to stop garden pests or rainwater leaking in. The Darwin box, which is also available in brown and grey, is ultra-strong, all weather resistant and UV protected, enabling consumers to refurbish their outdoor space with ease. n For more information about the Darwin range and Keter’s sustainability goals, please visit:

The key to DIY tiling
Tiles are a great feature to add to any home or property. Whether it’s updating a bathroom, adding some colour to a kitchen, or tiling a hallway or utility room, tiling can easily transform any room. Before you start any tiling work, it’s vital that you research the right tools and materials to help you lay that perfectly tiled floor or complete a flawlessly tiled backsplash. U-PRO, a handy online retailer of trade tools and supplies, offers a wide range of tiling products you’ll need, such as tile adhesives, spirit levels, mixing buckets and trowels. Although sometimes intimidating
for novices, trowels should be in every DIY tiler’s toolkit. Essential for applying tile adhesive to a floor or wall before adding tiles, Rubi offers a wide range of trowels that are affordable, lightweight and flexible. They come in a range of sizes for different purposes, with the Rubi 10mm Square Notch Tiling Trowel and Rubi 6mm Square Notch Closed Handle Tiling Trowel proving popular for tiling. Rubi also provides a durable aluminium spirit level with a machined base to ensure consistent accuracy and a mixing basket. n For the full range, visit:

Cordless Webb hedge & lawn care range with interchangeable batteries
Now available for 2022, from British garden equipment manufacturer WEBB, is the latest Webb Cordless range of hedge and lawn care products with new fast-charging and long-lasting interchangeable 20v Lithium-ion batteries for optimum performance.
Light but powerful, the new
Webb Cordless range of garden tools offers customers convenience and flexibility. Each tool in the range comes complete with a battery charger that features a fast-charging 1.5Ah slot, so each battery only takes 80 minutes to charge (2Ah only). The Lithium-ion batteries hold their charge and don’t degrade in storage, which is an important consideration for choosing garden tools, which may not be used on a daily basis. Featuring a new design, the Webb WEV20HT Cordless Hedge Trimmer comes equipped with generous 50cm dual action blades for a sharp finish and clean cut. Lightweight and compact, it is ideally suited to smaller gardens and lighter trimming jobs, with a runtime of up to 45 minutes (2Ah).
Recently updated to form part of the new Cordless range, the WEV20PHT Long Reach Hedge Trimmer is a lightweight, versatile long-reach hedge trimmer designed for tall hedges due to its extendable shaft with articulating cutter-head. For jobs closer to the ground, the Webb WEV20LT Cordless Line Trimmer is designed to put the finishing touches
to a lawn with 25cm (10”) cutting width, using an auto-feed head and adjustable telescopic shaft. The line trimmer can be used to trim or edge your lawns and pathways with its rotating head and has up to 35 minutes runtime (2 Ah).
Also available in the range is the
Webb WEV20LM33 Cordless 20v Rotary Lawnmower with integrated finns for up to the edge mowing. Featuring a 33cm cutting width and a spacious 35-litre easy-empty grass collector, the WEV20LM33 allows for easy manoeuvring while mowing. An integrated handle also enables it to be easily transported around smaller gardens. It is supplied with five cutting heights from 25-65cm, with one easy adjustment lever. For the more demanding task of tilling the soil, the Webb WEV20TIL Tiller is a lightweight, easy-to-handle model. A 19cm (7.5”) working width, and capable of depths of 15cm (6”), this is ideal for your flower bed or small allotment. It has up to 40 minutes runtime from its 2Ah battery. n To discover more on the Webb Cordless range and to purchase direct, please go to https://
