If you're facing the familiar houseful of clutter and not enough storage, it might be time to take the matter into your own hands and get building. With the versatility of a product such as ContiBoard(www.conti.co.uk), it's easier than you might think!To help you on your way, here are some handy tips for beginners:

Get inspired

Measure up and get planning

Measure your chosen space and create a plan that you can refer back to ensuring you stay on track during the build. This way you'll also save money as you will avoid purchasing unnecessary materials. ContiBoard's user guides and how-to videos can help you with the planning process.

Buy your materials

The beauty of ContiBoard is that it's available online and can be delivered straight to your door. Simply pick the right sizes for your build and await their arrival! Don't forget to order your edging tape to finish your boards too. The type of fixings you'll require will depend on your project, and you can find out about the various types available on Conti's website.

The build itself - safety first!

As with any DIY project, there are a few safety precautions to take. We recommend when using ContiBoard that you wear your finest safety glasses, gloves and boots for the task, so you're protected from all angles. If you're doing any sanding, it is also advisable to wear a dust mask.

The finishing touch

The perfect finishing touch can make or break your project! ContiBoard's range of matching edging tape makes it both quick and easy to cover up any exposed edges. Then simply wipe down the boards with a damp cloth for a smart and smooth finish.
