National Rental Awareness Week On NOW

WINNIPEG, May 6, 2013 /CNW/ - Deck and lawn season are nearing, but after years of hosting days of fun in the sun and weathering many winter storms, that summertime refuge looks tired.

It's nothing a little sanding won't fix, but who has the elbow grease to sand by hand or who wants to spend the money on an expensive sanding machine that will languish in storage after the job is done? 

Whether you're sanding a deck, looking to spruce up your yard, renovating your home or organizing a wedding, renting allows you to use professional quality equipment and party supplies at a reasonable price.

To highlight the benefits of renting versus buying, the Canadian Rental Association (CRA) is celebrating National Rental Awareness Week from May 6 to 10, 2013.

"Renting is smart and easy and it alleviates the cost of purchasing equipment you may use only occasionally," said Jeff Campbell, President of the CRA. "Renting is often the most economical and hassle-free way to access tools, event supplies and heavy equipment."

So, what are those benefits of renting?

• Easy access to specialty equipment and supplies.
  

• Acquire equipment  quickly and in ready-to-use condition.
  

• Provides access to modern and maintained equipment.
  

• Eliminates the need to store large equipment.
  

• Worry-free way to accomplish a project or host an event.
  

• CRA Members will help you choose the right equipment and show you how to use it.
