What basic tools should every rural property have?
Essential tools for rural properties include a sturdy hammer, fencing pliers, cordless drill, wire strainers, shovel, post hole digger, wrench set, and a reliable handsaw. These tools cover most general repairs, fencing maintenance, and small building jobs. A toolkit with fasteners, tape measure, spirit level, and utility knife also comes in handy. It’s worth investing in durable tools that can handle the demands of outdoor and off-grid work, especially in isolated or weather-prone areas.
What types of fasteners do I need for fencing or sheds?
The right fasteners depend on the materials you're working with. For timber fencing or sheds, galvanised nails or screws resist rust and are ideal for outdoor use. For metal sheeting, roofing screws with sealing washers are commonly used. Bolts and coach screws provide extra strength for load-bearing structures. Always match the fastener type and coating to the conditions—coastal and wet areas benefit from stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanised options.
Can I use general-purpose adhesives for outdoor repairs?
General-purpose adhesives are not always suitable for outdoor use. Look for weatherproof or construction-grade adhesives labelled for exterior use—they're designed to resist UV, moisture, and temperature changes. Products like liquid nails, silicone sealants or polyurethane-based adhesives are commonly used for fixing panels, bonding timber, or sealing gaps in outdoor settings. Always check drying times and curing conditions on the label to ensure long-term performance.
