Working with casting concrete?

Rhonda B on Jun 20, 2014You should be able to put them in one at a time-regular concrete takes a while to set up. Fast setting concrete will set between 20 and 40 minutes which still should be enough time to place your poles one at a time.Helpful Reply

Jeanette S on Jun 21, 2014My suggestions: (1) I have is to have someone there to help hold them in place while you place them (2) 25 -12 ft. poles will displace almost all of that concrete so you want to make sure you have large enough container or it might be top heavy! (3) hold the poles in place until the quick dry concrete sets...tie a string around them? Before you finalize the project, you can put all the poles in your container and pour in sand to get an idea of how much concrete it will take. If the poles are hollow...like bamboo, the concrete can ooze inside them as you work them down into the concrete...otherwise, it will only be "displacement".Helpful Reply
