Wahoo Walls

Wahoo Walls is a ready-to-install basement finishing system available to purchase direct from the manufacturer, giving you a basement you can quickly install yourself without going through a basement franchise company. Utilizing advanced materials, this company has created a DIY composite wall panel that replaces the conventional stud-and-drywall construction method with a wall system that answers the challenges of below-grade construction. The polystyrene core is clad with a substantial exterior facing of Magnesium Oxide Cementitious Board. Unlike wood and drywall, both the Magnesium Oxide board and the polystyrene insulation are made of non-organic materials and do not feed mold. EPS polystyrene insulation and Magnesium Oxide remain unaffected by standing water and provides a durable wall panel. Combining these modern materials into a single component makes for easy installation that is quick, clean and unharmed by water. Simply install the lightweight aluminum mounting track, measure and cut each panel to the correct dimension, carry into the basement, fasten in place and enjoy a cozy finished basement to fit any budget.

Handy Andy Aluminium Fence in dirt

WamBam Fence

Forget about digging holes and pouring concrete with WamBam Fence’s innovative fence systems. Developed for the DIY market, WamBam Fence manufactures a line of professional-grade vinyl and aluminum fencing that offers an easier way to install a fence. Traditional fence installation is a time-consuming and difficult process for homeowners that requires renting augers, tearing up the yard, and pouring hundreds—if not thousands—of pounds of concrete. WamBam’s no-dig fence systems eliminate these headaches because their fence is installed by driving steel pipe anchors deep into the ground. The pipe anchors work in conjunction with some patent-protected pieces to ensure a strong, lasting and easier install. Rated for up to category-1 hurricanes, the concept of no-dig vinyl fence systems has been used successfully by professional fencers all over Western Canada for more than fifteen years. WamBam Fence is the first company to have developed a full product line to take the concept national to the DIY market in a boxed program. Visit www.wambamfence.com.

Maggie

Maggie Magnetic Locator

The Schonstedt “Maggie” is a next-generation magnetic locator that combines the best features of the company’s two flagship products; the sensitivity, precision, and reliability of their GA-52Cx model, and the single-handed operation of the GA-92XT. In basic terms, Schonstedt took the best features of their very popular 52Cx model and combined it with the ergo-nomics of their 92 model and created “the best of the best” in the world of magnetic locators. Schonstedt Engineers took user input to offer features like a handle that makes it easy to hold the popular 52Cx model. Users did not like opening up the 52Cx and exposing the electronics just to replace the battery, so the Maggie’s handle is located where the electronics are not exposed during a battery change. Schonstedt also offers a soft case that can easily fit behind a truck seat, as well as be carried with a shoulder strap. Another feature is the knobs are now on top and not underneath like they are on the 52Cx. For excellent sensitivity and ergonomics, check out the new Maggie Magnetic Locator.
