  2. Stamped Concrete Patio Design Concrete has been playing the role of an active ingredient behind any structure’s stability. Strength, durability, and versatility are a few characteristic features why concrete stands out as the #1 choice. Whether it's concrete slab, beautiful walkways, or stamped concrete patio design- the construction is as awe- inspiring. 513-538-5000 shelby@estridgedeckandpatio.com www.estridgecarpentry.com

  3. Concrete Too Wet This is one of the most commonly occurring concrete mistakes. Don’t stumble on this! You should be able to mold concrete into a four-inch diameter, four-inch-tall pile if it’s mixed effectively. Anything sloppier than this and the strength of the concrete won’t get the results the way you’ve imagined. 513-538-5000 shelby@estridgedeckandpatio.com www.estridgecarpentry.com

  4. Concrete Too Dry Although a less commonly occurring problem than concrete too wet, too dry is neither an ideal fit. If troweling a sample pile of concrete doesn’t create a smooth surface in three strokes of the trowel, your concrete is too dry. 513-538-5000 shelby@estridgedeckandpatio.com www.estridgecarpentry.com

  5. Pouring Too Thin Concrete can stay in top condition for a long time, but only if it’s thick. Are you pouring a concrete slab for a shed floor or to create a patio? If yes, then make sure you never lay down your slab thinner than four inches for any application. Six inches is the minimum thickness to aim for a concrete slab. 513-538-5000 shelby@estridgedeckandpatio.com www.estridgecarpentry.com

  6. Expecting Reinforcing Mesh to Stop Cracking No one wants their dream concrete project to crack into splits! If you’re determined, then don’t put all your trust in the standard welded wire mesh mostly used for concrete reinforcement. It won’t stop cracking, but it will hold the cracked concrete together. 513-538-5000 shelby@estridgedeckandpatio.com www.estridgecarpentry.com

  7. Using Old Cement Do not impulsively scumble over cement or a just-add-water concrete mix that’s more than a year old for any project you want to accomplish. Even new cement with solid lumps should not be used for concrete. Hard or solid lumps reveal the cement has gotten moist at some point and also lost its ability to harden. 513-538-5000 shelby@estridgedeckandpatio.com www.estridgecarpentry.com

  8. Failure to Use Fibers If you are wondering what concrete reinforcing fibers are? You’ll be able to uncover it here. These are actually thin, short strands of plastic that add a lot of strength and crack resistance to any concrete project. Add a pint of fibers to each mixing drum load of concrete and mix. The fibers rolled out within the mix and help bind the hardened concrete. That will make a huge difference. 513-538-5000 shelby@estridgedeckandpatio.com www.estridgecarpentry.com

  9. Corrosion-Prone Reinforcing Rod Concrete is strong in compression but may get really weak in the knees when any force tries to pull it. This weakness in tension is the reason why concrete is often reinforced with metal rods. The problem is, most concrete reinforcing rods are made of bare steel that’s prone to rust. When steel rusts, it expands, causing the concrete to break off and come apart under internal pressure. This is why corrosion-proof reinforcing rods should be preferred for concrete projects. 513-538-5000 shelby@estridgedeckandpatio.com www.estridgecarpentry.com
