Tarps Now® Releases Guide to Outdoor Mesh Tarps

St. Joseph, Michigan, USA, 2023-Apr-10 — /EPR Network/ — With record temperatures anticipated later this year, Tarps Now® is pleased to announce the issuance of a new Guide to Outdoor Mesh Tarps which focused on educating the public on using mesh shade tarps to help create shaded “green zones” where lower temperature climate areas can be created.

This new guide focuses on uses of mesh tarps, shade tarps, and windscreens that provide protection from harmful UV rays of the sun, all while providing privacy and security when sued with fencing.  In addition, supplies, materials or freight in transit made from durable materials that include polyethylene, polypropylene, and vinyl are discussed.

Most of these tarps have shade factors that extend from 40 percent up to 95 percent. Your needs will depend upon your shade requirements and other factors. Mesh Tarps are fitted with durable grommets, or eyelets, that are positioned in each corner and spaced equally apart around the perimeter ranging from 12 to 36 inches, depending on the product. The grommets are instrumental in helping secure the tarps to structures or tie them down.

You will also find that mesh tarps allow air to flow through the woven material to add comfort to the protected area while at the same time helping block any heavy winds and flying debris. In addition, as a result of the porous weave design, water will pass through while the fabric does repel heavy rainfall.

Compact Track Loaders Market: Contractors’ preference is shifting from skid steers to compact track loaders in the U.S.

DUBLIN 2, Ireland, 30-Oct-2018 — /EPR CONSTRUCTION NEWS/ — Fact.MR, a leading research firm that tracks markets across 150 countries, has recently announced the launch of its study that provides a scrutinized analysis on compact track loader market. This study is an all-inclusive compilation of insights on production and sales of compact track loader across countries, including the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, and Greater China.

Sample of the report is available at https://www.factmr.com/connectus/sample?flag=S&rep_id=1661

Key insights from the report:

  • U.S. will retain its lead in compact track loader sales, accounting for over 75% volume share of the overall industry in 2018
  • Demand is increasing in Brazil, Mexico, Germany, and China – these four markets will collectively account for over 10% market volume share in 2018
  • Contractors’ preference is shifting from skid steers to compact track loaders in the U.S., to realize enhanced productivity and uptime at lower operating expenses
  • Construction and landscaping & maintenance have traditionally remained prominent applications of compact track loaders
  • Compact track loader sales are increasing in the agriculture sector, particularly for producers who require extra traction, and additional floatation, according to Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM)

U.S. – Largest Compact Track Loader Market

Compact track loader continues to dig out a larger niche in the U.S. construction equipment industry. Contractors in the U.S., with their robust capital vigor, now show a marked preference for compact track loaders over skid steers, owing to the former’s relatively longer wheel base and greater lifting capacities. Higher-flow hydraulics of compact track loaders the enables more effective and efficient use of attachments such as snow blowers has further undergird the contractors’ preference for compact track loaders in the U.S.

Compact Track Loader Sales by Key Countries (Units)

“Demand for compact tracker loaders is particularly robust in the rental space, with more and more rental centers including compact equipment fleets in their portfolio. Effective operation in ground conditions where skid steers are not as effective in wet or soft soil has further upheld compact track loader rentals, enabling customers to stay productive and meet tight schedules at affordable investments,” says Mohit Loshali, Senior Consultant at Fact.MR.

“Market penetration of compact track loaders in emerging markets will increase if customers are educated well on availability of various attachments. Tight labor and stricter deadlines in emerging markets, compared to their developed competitors, have made timely availability of the equipment essential. This further points at relative proliferation of compact track loaders in the rental industry,” adds Mr. Loshali.

Product and business strategies of manufacturers, vendors, and other stakeholders of the compact track loader industry have also been tracked in key sections of the study. Fact.MR study includes detailed profiling of key players operating in the compact track loader market, which include

  • Caterpillar Inc.
  • Deere & Co.
  • Komatsu Ltd.
  • Volvo Construction Equipment and Services, Inc.
  • Doosan Bobcat, Inc.

Community Area Around Olympic Park “A Bit Glorious”

The landscape surrounding the London 2012 Olympic velodrome is set to provide local residents and visitors to the city with a “pleasant space to spend time”, it has been said.

Writing for the Guardian on the London blog, Dave Hill noted the positive impact that the space could have on the community, and said that while the economic effect of the Games is yet to be seen, there is little doubt that the gardens and spaces around venues will become important parks in the city.

Each area of the Olympic park has been designed with a part of the world in mind, reflecting the global focus of the Games. Plants from the USA, Asia and Western Europe combine with the athletes’ village, and the “iced cake” basketball arena, and Hill said that the gardens already look set to “become an urban design classic”.

Since the coalition came to power there has been much talk around the idea of community spaces and the importance of people having somewhere green and open to spend time has been highlighted. But for those who live and work in the city, pleasant environments are also vital, and in a blog on the New Scientist website earlier this month, it was noted that when it comes to transforming city scapes, it might be time to tear up the rule book and completely begin again with innovative ideas.

“Why don’t we grow plants on the sides of skyscrapers? And why isn’t all this rainwater run-off used to irrigate them? Our modern urban environments spark countless ideas for innovation toward sustainability. But who’s really going to make them happen?” the post wondered.

Bailey Street Scene specialises in finishing touches which add character and practicality to green and urban spaces, including benches, cycle pods and street furniture.

Commenting on the importance of practical but stylish urban and green spaces, managing director at Bailey Street Scene Ian Bailey said: “Many people underestimate the impact that their surrounding environment has on their mood and their overall feeling of wellbeing, but great design combined with practical solutions can make even the busiest city centre feel like a haven.”

Increasing Numbers of Home Improvement Projects Ignoring Trees

Today’s homeowners want their homes to be functional and attractive with pristine curb appeal, but it takes careful planning to decide on a home improvement project.

Sometimes a room addition is needed. Sometimes it’s landscaping. The homeowner might want to add a play area or a basketball court to the back yard for the kids. In all these projects it’s important to not overlook trees.

Trees can present problems for the home improvement weekend warrior that many planners fail to consider in improvement projects affecting the outside of the home.

Play areas and room additions may require the removal and relocation of trees, but if the tree is providing a valuable benefit, like shade, some homeowners don’t want to lose them.

“You don’t have to, “ said John Howard of Premiere Tree Services of Orlando. “It’s sometimes more reasonable to relocate trees than to buy new ones.”

Premiere Tree Services of Orlando offers a full range of tree services, including planting, tree removalstump grinding and tree shaping.

Jon Ahrens of Madrone LDC Wins 2010 Honor Award from Texas ASLA

Jon Ahrens, owner of Madrone LDC, a landscape architecture firm that takes advantage of nature and the land’s natural topography to design and construct its projects, was awarded a 2010 Honor Award from the Texas Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (TX ASLA) for Chris Park in San Antonio.

Jon Ahrens of Madrone LDC Wins 2010 Honor Award from Texas ASLA

TX ASLA recognized Ahrens, of Austin-based Madrone, at an awards banquet March 11 th in San Antonio for the Chris Park project. Ahrens’ award came in the Design: Constructed Projects Category, which recognizes site-specific works of landscape architecture and urban design. Chris Park, once part of a neglected industrial area, is now an inviting green space with a unique mix of plants, terrain and artwork. As envisioned by the client, the late Linda Pace, the park memorializes and celebrates her late son. It provides a playful yet calming escape from the city, improving the lives of locals while introducing environmental improvements. Chris Park is part of a larger mixed development project.

“We worked collaboratively with Linda Pace and several Pace Foundation artists to achieve the right mix of plants and contemporary art,” said Ahrens. “Our challenge was to convert an old industrial parking lot into a lush garden that would give back to the residents of San Antonio for decades to come.”

The judges, members of the Colorado ALSA Chapter, reviewed the entries based on design quality, functionality, context and environmental responsibility. Entries were also judged on relevance to the profession, the public and the environment; and design value to the client. According to a TX ASLA Award Committee chair, “T he Colorado jury loved the [Chris Park] story and the amount of thought that went into the creation of the spaces.”

Park highlights include Chris Hill, where a Natchez Mock Orange Tree blooms abundantly in Chris’ birth month of April, the entrance fountain with an intricately designed drainage system to ensure that water does not pond and kids can safely run about, and t he Starfield, where 55 LED light fixtures shine tiny blue lights into the nighttime sky and represent the constellations the day of Chris’ birth.

ServiceSpider.com – An Auction Website For Homeowners And Contractors

ServiceSpider makes the online auction process that has long been used by companies like eBay, available for homeowners and contractors to buy and sell services on the Internet.

After beta testing for a year ServiceSpider releases a new version of their auction website with many new features such as forums. On ServiceSpider.com homeowners can save time and money by letting contractors compete for their home improvement needs.

Homeowner Haye Kesteloo came up with the idea for ServiceSpider while working on a bathroom remodel project in 2006. “As I started to contact different contractors to get quotes for my project, I found it difficult to establish what a fair price should be for a job well done.” Prices, time estimates, and other factors varied from one contractor to another, and Kesteloo found himself wondering if there wasn’t a better way to navigate the Home Improvement market using the Internet. Kesteloo decided to stop wondering and to make the idea a reality, helping homeowners and contractors in the process. With that plan in motion, ServiceSpider was born.

Most homeowners know how difficult and time consuming it can be to find the right contractor for a home improvement job. Scheduling appointments, checking references and licenses and other related issues can make a job seem much more difficult than it needs to be. This is where ServiceSpider comes in. As a homeowner, one needs only to go to http://www.servicespider.com, and create a posting about the job that needs to be done. Need a leaky shower fixed? Maybe it’s time to upgrade the electrical panel? Or perhaps it’s time to replace those old windows? Whatever the home improvement needs are, once the job is posted at ServiceSpider, the service request will show up on the site’s home page, and will be automatically send to matching service providers in the area. Free of charge to the homeowner, ServiceSpider will have pre-screened contractors offering competing bids for the job. One can even read the reviews from other homeowners on different contractors and see how they are rated.

Currently, in the greater New York area alone, there are over 700 service providers, so a match can be made quickly and efficiently. The homeowner chooses how, when and where they will be contacted, be it phone, fax, or email. The homeowner is in charge!

For Haye Kesteloo, making ServiceSpider a success is a full time job. He knows that finding the right contractor for the right job and for the right price can be a challenge, especially in the current economic climate. Kesteloo offers the following advice: “Take your time when choosing the right contractor. Don’t let yourself be hurried into making a decision. Make sure the contractor you hire is licensed and insured and that you receive a written contract.”

For additional information regarding ServiceSpider, please contact Haye Kesteloo directly or go to www.servicespider.com.
