Modular Decking Solution for The Block McCafe

Outdure’s QwickBuild modular decking was the perfect solution for The Block’s McCafe to ensure easy access of coffee. After all, when it comes to working hard, no one works harder than the contestants on The Block, bringing to life an old house in record time and all the while being judged along the way. Well who could do that without a constant supply of fresh coffee? This year on The Block 2020, a caravan-style McCafe was set up for a constant supply of coffee for contestants and crew.

The caravan needed a semi-permanent deck area over the muddy ground and what better
solution for this than Outdure’s QwickBuild modular decking framing system and surfaces. It
can be built over any surface, whether the muddy ground, waterproof membrane or
concrete. It was the perfect solution we designed and semi pre-fabricated a modular area
using our QwickBuild aluminium framing to support a combination of ResortDeck boards and
Outdure Tiles finished off with ResortDeck fascia.

QwickBuild modular decking is the only deck framing system that provides a low
height, level and stable solution for supporting decking, tiles, turf or a combination.
With aluminium joist/bearer profiles to suit all deck heights, it is ideal as a low risk,
floating deck system for installations over waterproof membranes and as a sub-frame
over concrete, pavers or natural ground. It can be supplied as loose components, kit-
set, or modular. For The Block McCafe, we delivered this pre-fabricated to ensure
speed of build, which allowed this to be built in under a day.

To make the exterior floor space multi-functional our design team also came up with customised ‘waterfall’ style benches also constructed of ResortDeck and QwickBuild as shown in the concept sketches. It was very functional allowing contestants to sit on one side of the table or stand on the other.

Check out Scotty giving the install team a few pointers and our very own in-house talent ordering his double FW! Not many pointers were needed though thanks Scotty, as the benefit of QwickBuild modular decking is that it can be built to any height, goes down quick and it guarantees a perfectly straight deck every time. And while The Block McCafe is only
used for a short period of time, this deck could last forever; it is exceptionally low maintenance and will never rot despite being built on the muddy ground.

Stay tuned on The Block to see what the outdoor spaces look like!
