September Sizzler Trade Event: Success at Our Ipswich Branch

Our very first September Sizzler at the newly revamped Ipswich branch was a huge hit! Held on Thursday, 7th September 2023, the event brought together local builders, landscapers, and DIY enthusiasts for a day filled with great food, exciting product demos, and lively discussions about upcoming projects in the community.

Visitors enjoyed everything from live demonstrations to a delicious hot dog courtesy of The Hot Sausage Co.

September Sizzler Trade Event: A Smashing Success at Our Ipswich Branch

The highlight of the day was the Build a BBQ demonstration, where Kevin showed attendees how to craft an outdoor BBQ using Pavestone Moodul Walling.

Although it was one of the hottest days we’ve seen, the live project showed how easy it can be to create your own BBQ from building materials, inspiring many to plan their next garden upgrade.

We were joined by top suppliers including: Pavestone, Azpects, OX Tools, TuffStuff, and Fernco. A fantastic opportunity for local tradespeople to network, explore the latest products, and discuss projects.

Combine two loves, DIY and BBQ’s. Building a BBQ from our Pavestone Moodul Walling. Kevin will show you how.
