Summer is upon us and with it the long-awaited holiday period. Whether it’s a quick weekend, a long vacation on the other side of the world or a few weeks of relaxation under the umbrella on one of the many Italian beaches, the important thing is to leave and disconnect from the daily routine. However, to enjoy a well-deserved rest without worries, it is essential to properly organize your home before leaving. Who will take care of watering the plants? And if it rains, how can you avoid ruining the chairs on the balcony? Leroy Merlin offers three suggestions for leaving without worries.
Plant survival
Flowers, aromatic herbs, small fruit plants: who doesn’t have a few pots on the balcony or in the garden? Before the holidays, the worry is always the same: how to keep them alive? The solution is drip irrigation kits, equipped with a programmer that releases water where and when needed. Thanks to the integrated pump and photovoltaic panel, neither water points nor electricity are needed. An ideal solution to ensure the survival of plants even during long absences.
Home security
Summer, with many homes left empty, is a critical period for domestic burglaries. To protect your home, there are alarm systems that allow constant monitoring. Thanks to the internet connection, you can check what is happening at home via smartphone or tablet, with the possibility of reviewing the videos. In addition, the security bonus is active for 2024: a 50% tax deduction on the expenses incurred to secure your home, without the need for building renovation work. An opportunity not to be missed to enjoy your holidays in peace.
Outdoor furniture shelter
Tables, chairs and deckchairs are essential for summer evenings on the terrace or in the garden, but where to put them when you leave? If there is no possibility of sheltering them in the cellar or garage, there is a risk that rain and sun could ruin them. The solution is dedicated covers and protectors, ideal for protecting furniture during long periods of non-use. These covers not only protect from rain, but also from the sun’s UV rays, ensuring that the furniture remains in perfect condition when you return from vacation.
