Decking Challenge- Clennett’s Mitre 10 Trade Expo 2019

In March 2019 Decktec conducting a live decking challenge (race) in front of 1500 tradespersons at the Clennett’s Mitre10 Trade Expo, at Princess wharf 1, Hobart Tasmania. We got Keith ‘The Forman’ Schleiger in to oversee proceeding.

The challenge was straight forward, 3 blokes each team, laying decking boards on identically sized pre built sub frames and pulling sticks from the same sling.
The 2 teams consisted of Obrien’s Building (using Decktec) v’s Deckheads Tasmania (using an alternate leading joist protector) and laying boards traditionally.The challenge required both teams to protect the joist, lay straight boards with even gaps and pin each joist with 2 screws.

The Result?

Obrien Building completed a 20m2 deck in 1 hr, 7 mins with 2 screws in every joist and a seamless straight finish.
Deckheads Tasmania worked full tilt, though only completed half there assignment.
