Ace! FrogTape gives the advantage to the Bald Builders’ tennis

Published: 12 July 2023 - DIY Week

The Bald Builders don’t need to be at Wimbledon to enjoy top tier tennis - and their fans on tiktok agree.

 

Brad and Sam - the popular building professionals and Fix Radio presenters - have not travelled to SW London, instead they have shown all their fans how to easily create a tennis court at home, with a little green paint and FrogTape.

The two simply purchased a large white MDF board and used FrogTape to draw out the lines of a tennis court before painting it a vibrant green paint to look like grass. Once the paint was almost dry, they slowly peeled back the tape - its unique Paintblock Technology meant the crisp clean lines of Centre Court were created perfectly - and built a net using two pieces of wood and some mesh tape.

With the obligatory orange juice and McEnroe-style headbands, they were then ready to enjoy Wimbledon style table tennis tournaments between their building projects.

Says Brad: “We use FrogTape all the time in our decorating projects so we know how it creates really clean lines, clean enough to look like a pristine tennis court. It turned out a treat, but the issue is that we are all a bit too competitive, while not actually being that good at table tennis.

“Thankfully the forecast means we will get a lot of use out of this table and the families love it too!”

Their video has had thousands of likes on tiktok.

Jason Burns, MD of Shurtape, says: “The Bald Builders keep coming up with creative ways to use spare tape and this is just brilliant. Definitely something we will be doing in the office!

“We have a good record of working with builders across our entire adhesive tape portfolio,” says Jason. “It means we get professional insights from those working in the trade which is invaluable from a product development and marketing point of view, but it also means we have some great fun – case in point here!”
