Cattle Guard “repurpose”; PVC Playground; Barrel Built Ice Bath

January 20th, 2026 | Please feel free to forward to a colleague. SUBSCRIBE

Customer Purchase: A customer grabbed some of our Steel H-Beams and used them to build a cattle guard on their property. Heavy steel spaced out over the opening keeps cattle from crossing while still letting trucks and equipment roll through without an issue. Thank you for your purchase, Neil.

Customer Purchase: “I wanted something different for an ice bath and ended up using one of your Wood Wine Barrels. It holds water great, looks way better than a plastic tub, and gets the job done. Cold, simple, and honestly kind of perfect.” – Vivian in Ohio

PRACTICAL”repurpose”: This Fire Hose ended up as a tool mat that doubles as a place to set and hold tools while working. Heavy, durable, and built to take abuse without shifting around.

 

 

New Warehouse: We’re beginning the process of opening our 7th warehouse location. Our target this time is the Mississippi Valley region within about 200-250 miles of Memphis,TN. We’re looking for a warehouse property in the 15,000 – 30,000 Sq Ft range with 3-5 acres for outside storage. The property must have frontage on a major highway or interstate.

If you know of a property that meets this criteria, Call Ethan @ 720.615.0282 or Email Ethan.

“repurpose” In Action: A customer sent in photos of how they put our Aluminum Composite Panels to work—using them to trim out exterior openings and add wall panels on their building. It was a straightforward install that cleaned things up and gave the space a finished look. Thank you SariSand Tile!

“repurposing”HOW/TO: Need to cover an area larger than our biggest Billboard Vinyl? No problem. Jesse in Michigan glued multiple Billboard Vinyls together using HH-66 Vinyl Cement (easy to find on Amazon) to create a custom-sized cover for the job.

 

Q: Do you have a “repurposing” tip of your own? Maybe a favorite product, tool, or technique you use when working with used materials? Send us the details—we’d love to share it.

MISCONCEPTION: A lot of people assume the typical “repurposer” is lower income. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. Our customer base is full of high-net-worth individuals and companies—you can see it every day in the newer trucks rolling through our yard, like this one we loaded Poly-Iso onto.

 

Here’s the part people miss: Many of them are successful because they save serious money by buying used materials to solve real problems.

Customer Project: One of our customers’ end-of-summer DIY projects is “repurposing” some Faux Leather Naugahyde Fabric to reupholster their boat’s swim platform.

FEEDBACK: “I picked up one of your Collapsible Bladders to use as a pipe plug while pressure testing a section of irrigation line on the farm. It worked like a charm—sealed up tight and held pressure with no problem. Way easier than messing with rigid plugs.”Mike in Nebraska
