mic u seem to know stuff

question

any advise for the forn work for DIY concrete?
MMichael Mulhall27 Apr 2009
Can't help you much with crete Duff. Maybe VB or someone who's worked with Convic can answer you. I only know from what I've seen during construction of Five Dock and a few others. All my experience is with wooden ramps and street courses.

At a geuss.. I'd say you need at least 100mm depth to the crete with the rebar 50mm below the surface. Maybe try to find some construction pics of some of Convics parks for ideas of how to lay the rebar. If someone on here can't help, maybe try google.

Oh yeah.. In regards to the crete. Find out about what hardener to use. I don't know anything other than Five Dock used 40mpa hardner. The surface came out smooth as a babies bum, and so solid that it hasn't cracked after 2 years.
