Simple ways to clear snow in the yard so as not to overstrain
The problem of snow removal in private houses is now more relevant than ever. The shovel only helps to clear a small area. To quickly cope with snow in the country, another tool is needed near the house.
Now you can buy a modern snow removal tool - a scraper. It stands, for example, in Leroy from 700 to 4000 rubles. The cheapest one (for 700 rubles) is suitable only for loose snow removal.
If you clean stale, compacted snow, it quickly breaks. According to reviews, when removing snow, plastic bursts almost immediately (during the first cleaning). The rule works here - the cheaper, the worse. But I don't want to buy for 4000.
Many people save themselves from snow with the help of salt. They just sprinkle ordinary salt on the snowdrifts, and the snow begins to "melt". But after such a manipulation, a snow porridge appears, which again needs to be removed.
The disadvantage of this method is that table salt eats away at the surface of the tracks, the sole. And when salt gets into the soil, this is also not a desirable process for plants.
We won't talk much about snow blowers. It is definitely a good tool for dealing with snow. But spend 25-30 thousand. rub. not many are ready. Cheap, gasoline snow blower for 25 rubles. in Leroy is not advised to buy. By the end of the season, the engine smokes, according to reviews, the unit has a weak belt. He can't handle wet snow.
2 ways to clear snow easily and quickly
Option 1
You can make a snow blower with your own hands from scrap materials. This is not a complex frame structure, consisting of bars, studs, runners from old sleds (can be welded from a pipe). Reinforcement in the middle (bar) so that the stud does not bend.
The knife is made of a galvanized piece of metal bent at the edges. The bars are connected to metal corners. The cost price of this design is 300 rubles.
Option 2
I use a regular shovel, but with the addition. First, I clear a small place. Preparing the film. On one side, I tie the edge with tape so that it is convenient to drag the snow (you can tie it on 2 sides with tape).
I cover a place free of snow with a film. I shovel snow onto the film with a shovel. Then, literally with one hand, I grab the edge that is without scotch tape and pull the film with snow over the fence. Very easy and simple.
