When the snow starts to pile up in Fort Collins, it’s important to keep your driveways and walkways clear for your safety and convenience. Icy sidewalks can be hazardous, and heavy snow can block your driveway. It’ll probably make it even difficult to walk the dog! Whether you’re dealing with a light dusting or heavy Front Range blizzard, having the right tools makes all the difference. At Ace Hardware of Fort Collins, we have everything you need to take on the snow.

Sturdy Snow Shovels

For many Colorado homeowners, the snow shovel is the first line of defense. Use a shovel that has a curved, ergonomic handle to decrease strain on your back. A shovel with a blade will be more effective in grabbing and removing snow. The Suncast Poly Ergonomic Snow Shovel offers both things, plus a d-grip handle for comfort and control.

A Reliable Roof Rake

Colorado’s snow and ice can be hard on your roof. Leaks and clogged gutters can be hazardous and cause damage to your home. Keeping a roof rake on hand is a good idea to clear away snow from the roof and any awnings or skylights your home might have. This Garant Roof Rake is light and has a telescopic handle to get hard-to-reach places.

Super Snow Blower

When shoveling isn’t effective enough, a snow blower can be a lifesaver, saving time and energy. Single-stage blowers are perfect for smaller driveways or lighter snow, while two-stage models handle heavy, wet snow and larger areas with ease. This Ego Power+ Peak Power Two Stage Snow Blower exceeds the power and performance of gas-powered snow blowers without the noise, fuss and fumes. It’s cordless and can throw snow up to 50 feet.

Snow in Fort Collins can arrive suddenly and stick around for weeks. With the right tools you can clear it quickly, safely, and efficiently leaving more time to enjoy winter activities (or just a warm cup of cocoa inside). Come into Ace Hardware of Fort Collins on Harmony to stock up on snow removal essentials before the next storm hits.
