concrete

Guys, Ideally, I'd like to inlay 2''/50mm thick wooden planks into a garage floor. Basically my idea is to pour the floor but include a 2'' drop 600mm away from the walls all the way around. The floor area is 30x20', the timber floor would be 28'x18'. Am I mad and just making work for...

I need to cast a concrete base for an above ground swimming pool. It's made of plastic and weighs about 70 kilos. The pool when full weighs 35 tons (35000 litres of water) and is 6m in diameter. How deep should my concrete pad be. I thought about 300mm with plenty of reinforcing mesh. The...

Question for the masses... I'm laying some concrete for a pizza oven; and it needs some tensile strength. Looking around, the colleagues over the pond who build these use exclusively stainless steel rebar - they don't touch the carbon steel type as they are worried of it corroding due to...

A strange post from me but I am just curious as to the average cost of concrete per cubic metre. I understand it varies but was just interested in an average figure? (Bit late to phone companies now so want to prepare myself before I do!) :D

Hi Folks, Just after a bit of advice if you could... I'm in need of having my patio re done as the stones are all over the place and looking very untidy/uneven. It is over 10 years old now. It has the old stone flags (good ones) and not sure whether to have them re laid or replace with the...

To the end of last year, I built a garage base. On the final mix of concrete, I got a phone call to attend an emergency, (death in the family) and forgot / did not care. 3 days later, the mix in the drum had set firm. Half a drum full. Other than spending days chiseling it out, are there any...

...takes to dry out? Just had a conservatory built and Im not sure how long concrete takes to dry before you can floor over it ??

Bit of a wild shot, but I've seen wilder on here!... Looking for 'best value' concrete panels to make a small shed (12' x 6' probably) Can only seem to find 6' x 1' ones which would do the job I guess but would prefer larger ones! Anybody know least expensive source? Near Preston. Could be...
