Sakrete, Oldcastle APG’s leading bagged concrete materials brand, has released the second season of its reality competition show, Concrete Combat. Premiering on Roku TV, it brings together eight teams of professional contractors to compete for $10,000. Six episodes feature different challenges utilizing Sakrete bagged concrete materials, as well as additional Oldcastle APG brands like Belgard hardscapes, ushering new elements into this year’s competition. Season 2 presents an overlay paver project, full outdoor kitchen challenge, and the Skatepark Showdown, where participants cast a quarter pipe.
“Concrete Combat is a celebration of the men and women in the trades—a critical sector that is too often overlooked,” says Sakrete Senior Brand Manager Dave Jackson. “We feel strongly that if bakers, blacksmiths, chefs and ice road truckers have a show dedicated to their craft, concrete pros should too. We took it on ourselves to make that a reality.”
“The challenges we’ve presented this year were a chance for competitors to really put their skills to the test,” he adds. “We wanted to integrate materials and products other than concrete to give both our competitors and viewers a fun and well-rounded experience. This was a huge opportunity for the teams to push themselves and highlight just how many hats contractors wear during any given project. Season 2 is filled with talented contractors.”
Competing teams this year include Season 1 champion Concrete Mike LLC, plus Padron Building Services, TAS Concrete, Collective Concrete & Construction, Favors Concrete, Grindline Skateparks and two independent contractor teams. Returning as judges are
Mike Day, owner of Day’s Concrete Floors and host of All About Concrete; Jose Garcia, owner of Garcia Concrete LLC; and Pat McClain, owner of Chihuahua Custom Concrete. — www.sakrete.com/concretecombat
