This is the best video on diy concrete I’ve found by far. I had a 6 foot wooden quarter growing up but with timber prices so high and how they only last so long I gave up on the dream of my own backyard mini. But I’m definitely going the concrete route for sure, this videos given me a lot more confidence. Ill just use large rock in place of the foam. The dream of a 3ft tall by 8ft wide mini surrounded by gardens is still alive!

This is a great presentation of the essentials for DIY concrete. Couple tips for people attempting similar project. Chainlink fence fabric may be easier to acquire than this traditional mesh. It also easily bends to a transition. As another commenter mentioned, a concrete truck will bring a cubic yard for around $100.. Will save a lot in backbreaking labor transporting the bags and mixing. Have the truck dump right into your wheelbarrow and roll concrete to place. Fill material can be anything- gravel, dirt, bricks, rocks. Doesn't have to be styrofoam.

Damn, comments say it all. I've been skating for 30+ years, construction for 15 yrs and a building inspector for 10 yrs. I'd have to see the drawings but from a distance, or if it was close to lunchtime and I was in a hurry, I'd pass this. Proper spacing - ✔ Correct rebar size - ✔ Clean form - ✔ Mix design - close enough Not sure about that foam, soil is pretty cheap.

Saw cut the floor and pour the concrete all the way down and trowel the upper part of the tranny also 😂 dont know what he did to the top part but it looks like shit. Diy is no excuse to not to trowel. It takes 10minutes max

Call a concrete truck, order 1 cubic metre of curb and gutter mix. Give a quick sprinkle with water can to get a perfect finish with the steel trowel. Stick a few off cuts of Rio in the bottom part so the grout dosent break off. Put some pool tiles up top for a coping👍

@@pukeyloww5279I'm pretty sure it's rebar. Basically, any time you're connecting new concrete to old, or in this case partially dried concrete to a big hunk of rapid set it helps to tie them together with rebar so they don't crack away from each other over time. Usually, the rebar (or in this case mesh) that's used in the ramp is extended out a bit so new pours can be tied in. The commenter is suggesting just pushing in some cuts of rebar into the bottom edge of the concrete and then pouring the rapid. It's not a bad idea.
