The good weather arrives, the days have more daylight hours, the temperatures are warmer, the rain begins to subside,… All these aspects and others, encourage the practice of DIY tasks and projects. Therefore, it is the time of the year in which we are most encouraged to carry out the small, or not so small, reforms that we have been wanting to do for a long time.
On the other hand, we also have something more leisure time, which more and more we are the ones who sign up to enjoy it outdoors, on our terrace or garden. This is the reason, also, to seize the moment and get them ready.
A typical problem, and the solution
DIY enthusiasts know the ordeal it can be to collect, from different shops and stores, all the necessary material to carry out some DIY projects.
Well, in addition to online hardware stores, there are specialized DIY firms that have EVERYTHING related to DIY, home and garden. And when I say everything is everything. I am referring specifically to Brico Depot.
At Brico Depôt they make it very, very easy for us. In these establishments we can find everything that we may need. From the most specific screws, through tools of all kinds, both electric and manual; even wood, doors, windows, laminate flooring, toilets, partitions,… even for the garden you can find pergolas, sheds, barbecues, borders, irrigation systems and endless items with which to carry out any DIY project, from the beginning finally
If we add this, to the fact that Brico Depôt aims to popularize the prices of its products in order to try to make DIY accessible to everyone, it has become one of the largest construction stores in Spain, as well as a benchmark for shops specialized in DIY.
Do you want to practice DIY, but you don’t know what project to do?
If you feel like doing something DIY that is practical and useful, but you are not sure what, here are a few ideas, either to set up your terrace or garden and enjoy them in spring and summer. Or even also, in order to prepare them for next winter, since in the coldest and rainiest season, it is also possible to enjoy them.
Planning and Installation of a pergola.
Another proposal, somewhat less sophisticated, but that will also help us to protect ourselves from the heat is the installation of a pergola. We show you step by step, how to carry it out.

Waterproofing of awnings.
In winter there are two great enemies that prevent us, in many cases, from enjoying our garden or terrace. As you might have guessed, it’s all about the air and the rain. We combat the first with vertical awnings or some type of enclosure. However, the rain, when the awnings lose the benefits of the first years, is difficult to combat. That is what it seems. Well, in this article we show you that nothing is further from reality. A video tutorial is included in which we carry out some extreme tests to demonstrate the effectiveness of the system.
Protection of wooden floors for exteriors.
The wood, especially suitable for exteriors, has a high natural durability, however, if we do not apply preventive treatments on a regular basis, it will gradually degrade, losing all its properties. Here we leave you a video tutorial in which we show how to apply a preventive treatment to an outdoor wooden floor.
Installation of a misting system.
The summer months even, in some areas, also the spring months, are usually quite hard. We propose a solution so that you can enjoy your terrace and garden without hardly noticing the heat. We show you step by step how to install a misting system, building our own micro climate. Video tutorial is included.
However, if these proposals do not fit you, you can visit our DIY section, where you will find much more content.
And do not forget to take a look at the catalog that Brico Depôt has on its website, you will see that I am not exaggerating. They also have a section Tipswhere you can find a lot of content that will surely be of great help to you.
Finally and as if that were not enough, they are committed to the Environment. They have opted for the efficient and respectful management of natural resources, forming part of the “Net Positive” strategy of the Kingfisher group.
