The Jezzine Barracks playground is a children’s play facility in Townsville, Queensland completed in mid-2016. It sits on a 15 hectare redevelopment that includes coastal boardwalks, parks and traditional artworks that recognise the location’s significant Aboriginal heritage. From colonial times until  2006 the land was used for military purposes, after which it became public recreation space.

Trex® decking was used to create several items installed at the new playground, its application demonstrating how the versatile decking can be applied in interesting and appealing ways. Some 15 boxes of various sizes where made out of Trex decking boards and placed on a grass surface for playing and sitting on. In front of the grassed area is a Trex deck stage where children engage in play and event activities.  Trex was chosen for the new playground due to its 25-year stain and fade warranty and its resistance to mould; proof it will work well for years to come in the tropical Townsville environment.

Clontarf Marina is marketed as Sydney’s premier full-service marina. And for a new development on the Sandy Bay site, they chose premium Trex® decking. The expanded Clontarf Marina will include additional berths and a new restaurant, and will feature a 370 sq. m Trex® deck. When completed this will be a major enhancement for the already-upmarket Sydney, NSW boating facility.

Replas decking solutions product specialist Steven Pottinger recently met on site with Tom Simms, project engineer for SMC Marine who are in charge of the development. Steven is overseeing Replas’ part in the project, for which Trex® decking will be ideal for the marine deck and a great new asset for the marina facility.

Six months in and the Trex® deck at the Frankston Bowling Club, Victoria is still the talk of the club. When the game is done or when members are just calling by for a catch-up after work, the Trex®-decked outdoor bar space is the perfect place for a cold one on a hot Melbourne  day.

Membership of the club has increased in recent months, and the facilities can take their share of credit for that. The decking installation has made a big difference to members’ social space, with the vibrant Trex® colours and effective use of different shades making the new area an eye-pleasing experience for all who visit.  Trex® is playing an important part in this community gathering place where good sport and good fellowship are in equal supply. 

The Melbourne Home Show was a huge success again, bringing many Melbournian home owner’s together to enjoy a day filled with creative ideas. Trex® in particular was a crowd pleaser and massive hit amongst the thousands of people,  with its modern display of Trex® decking boards. The stunning range of plants supplied by All Green Nursery in Hoppers Crossing, enhanced the overall picturesque look of the Trex® display. A stand out fan favourite was the addition of a Karsha pressure cleaner that was given to all purchasing customers of Trex® decks. The pressure cleaner further confirmed to customers, just how low maintenance Trex® decking really is. 

John and Nathan Tresize from Yarrawonga Manufactured Housing in Victoria, are checking out the Trex®decking samples for use in their mobile home manufacturing process. Yarrawonga Manufactured Housing have been selected as an approved builder for the upcoming and very exciting Highview Waters Resort project in Moama NSW. Congratulations must go to John and Nathan for all of their hard work in gaining selection and on their fantastic achievement! Nathan was very impressed with the outer skin of Trex® and its scratch resistant technology. The 25 year fade and stain limited warranty is always a big winner, not to mention the huge array of stunning colours too.
