Outdoor Heating Blankets Will Thaw Frozen Hose Water

It never fails that each time a cold snap hits, gardens and yards across America are put to bed. This also means that the household garden hose is coiled up like a snake waiting to pounce, is placed with all the other gardening tools. What happens if you need water outside during the winter? You usually haul a cumbersome, oversized bucket heavy with water to wherever you need the H2O. If you invested in an outdoor heating blanket, using your outdoor water would be a cinch. Insulated blankets designed specifically for outdoor use, can ease any frozen burden you encounter during the long cold months. Outdoor heating blankets are meant to withstand the vigorous demands of rugged outdoor projects and can be driven on, pulled on, dragged through mud and snow, and refolded until its next use. The electric blanket can be used in all kinds of weather, including any type that produces precipitation. The outdoor heating blankets have been designed to attach to one another to accommodate various size requirements you may have.

My parents have a hot tub on their back deck and are faced with the necessary task of emptying it at certain intervals for cleaning. After the water is drained, the next daunting winter task is to brave the elements and fill it back up. Year after year the water to the outside faucet is frozen over and the hose has to be hauled out for each use. Using an outdoor electric blanket might be a handy alternative to plugging in the hair dryer, bundling up and standing by the faucet as they blow hot air hoping for some water to drip! 

Avoid Digging in Frozen Ground

If you have ever tried to dig a hole in rocky terrain, then you already know what it's like trying to dig on frozen ground. Digging in frozen ground will hurt your back (if digging by hand) and your equipment. The PowerBlanket ExtraHot SuperDuty is designed for exactly this situation (more specifically for thawing ground for mortuary services). One ExtraHot SuperDuty PowerBlanket can thaw a depth of 18 inches and an area of 72 square feet of frozen ground overnight.

If the frozen ground where you are digging is covered in snow, the ExtraHot SuperDuty PowerBlanket can melt 5 feet of old snow (that is settled and denser than fresh snow) in approximately three days. Because the PowerBlanket is so durable, it can be walked on, driven over, and dragged without ever receiving damage. This means while the ground is thawing, the PowerBlanket also serves to heat the work area while other jobs are being performed. For best result, the minimum allowable temperature is -40 degrees F.

Winter construction always poses a lot of problems, but with the proper equipment you can make your job site manageable and more efficient. The key is finding products with multiple important usages, to cut down on your materials/equipment costs. The versatility of the PowerBlanket gives your work site the freedom it needs to get winter construction projects finished on schedule with as little bumps as possible along the way.

Thaw the Ground to Facilitate Winter Digging

Snow, ice, debris, trees and shrubs are some of the many obstacles faced when preparing a site for construction. Difficulty increases with frozen, hard ground that becomes impossible to prepare without the use of major machinery. Keeping the site free of snow and ice is another problem that often delays construction schedules and causes damage to newly poured concrete and construction. An electric heat PowerBlanket is an excellent solution to all of these problems.

The SuperDuty PowerBlanket can be easily connected to additional blankets to cover the allotted area. Its durable design allows the blankets to withstand even the harshest conditions, and is as easy to use as unrolling a sleeping bag. The blanket produces fast even heating for melting snow and ice, making ground preparation simple and easy, and to keep your construction site operational. Multiple PowerBlankets may be connected to cover larger areas.
