CCCA member Mr.Bin wrapped up a successful Summer Outdoor Building Supply Event on June 25!
On Thursday, June 25, CCCA member company Mr.Bin Outdoor Building Supply hosted its Summer Vendor Event at 3445 Kennedy Road in Scarborough. Open to the public free of charge from 11 am to 3 pm, the event drew professionals from the construction, landscaping and renovation trades, along with families interested in outdoor and garden projects.
Held under the theme “Share Your Dream Garden with Our Pros,” the event brought together Mr.Bin's various business lines and 11 brand vendors, presenting the full journey of outdoor building supply — from material selection to on-site installation — all under one roof.
Pavers, Natural Stone & Outdoor Porcelain
The event showcased ground-surface materials including pavers, natural stone and outdoor porcelain, with participating brands such as Unilock, Permacon, Best Way Stone (BWS), Brown's Concrete Products, Oakville Stone and Porcea. These materials are widely used for driveways, patios, walkways and terraces — the literal foundation of any outdoor space.
Outdoor Lighting Systems
The outdoor lighting section featured In-lite, presenting low-voltage outdoor lighting systems. For many homeowners, outdoor lighting is about more than nighttime safety — it sets the mood of a garden and extends how long an outdoor space can be enjoyed.
Polymeric Sand & Installation Accessories
Polymeric sand is a key material for filling the joints between pavers — it locks the units in place, suppresses weed growth and reduces water seepage, often making the difference between a paving job that lasts and one that doesn't. In this section, Alliance presented polymeric sand and installation supplies, LePage brought sealing and bonding products, and CFC was also on hand with related installation materials and accessories.
(New) Equipment Rental & On-Site Test Drives
A major new highlight of the event was Mr.Bin's newly launched equipment-rental line. TerraX brought machinery from brands such as SDLG and LGMG, including compact excavators and aerial work platforms; also on display were Benda motorcycles and AODES ATVs and UTVs. A dedicated test-drive area let guests get a close, hands-on look at how the various machines and vehicles perform. For small and mid-sized contractors and landscaping crews, flexible rental can meet a project's stage-by-stage equipment needs without the burden of a large up-front purchase.
The Display Garden & On-Site Exchange
Beyond the product and equipment displays, Mr.Bin's display garden was one of the event's focal points, showing how different materials look in a real outdoor setting and making it easier for guests to compare options and picture their own projects. Brand representatives were on hand throughout, talking with visitors and answering specific questions about material selection, pairing and installation.
Free BBQ & Street Food
The atmosphere on site was relaxed and lively. Organizers laid on free BBQ, Hong Kong–style egg waffles and other street food and drinks, along with small gifts for guests. Sampling food while browsing the booths and equipment gave the day the feel of a community gathering on top of the business conversations.
