Hello!
ReplyDeleteAlthough your existing concrete is the tone and level, it is fairly easy to do!
There are several options, and reduces or increases the difficulty of the project to be chosen so that the best your level of expertise and staff:
1. We could all on the wall of wood and rebar and "for" itself a massive concrete wall, a mortar, brick and tile laminate, stone or whatever you choose. The challenge to transform the wood into the desired shape and then the peg hammered into the ground in the right places to keep the wood from the outside strainghtening. In addition, you should ensure that sufficient reinforcement to prevent (bars) of wood, not before / after adding the weight of the concrete agaist her. Another difficulty is that it is all or nothing works ... If you start pouring concrete, they are about to finish the job the day before the start of curing and to fine-tune you want isto throw in a few hours. An advantage of this approach is that once you have your way all current and be strengthened, you can mix a few bags and pay quickcrete, or even rent concrete mixer from your garden, according to how the work is great.
2. Concrete blocks, you can buy and build the same wall with mortar joints after the mortar laminate. Now a mixture of mortar, add the appropriate amount of water, and put a layer of mortar Nice clean concrete base. then with a layer to its first block in place and level to create space, "butter" on its side with a small mortar, and put the next block beside him. Place the block 2, a level which, butter, wash, rinse and repeat. Once Complate their first course of block, start the second course, and make your first block, so that the vertical mortar joints are not online, as seen in stone. Continue its course until you have your desired height. Then some mortar strike on the faces of the blocks and establish their handicap laminate.SomeAdvantages of this approach are the heavy work, use the time and more waste. Some of the benefits it can work at their own pace, to 1 or 100 blocks, with no need to rush and hurry, and if you happen to mess up, you can only call the block (s) are not correct.
Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, and as the owner of DIY, I have two different methods to build walls in my garden. I think the use of concrete blocks is good if you do want a little bit each day after a busy day ... a wheelbarrow of mortar and save 5 blocks before dinner, or if you feel comfortable, knockdown 25th Pour the concrete is very good if you open a weekend for you where you can do a lot of time, in creating your form, then pour finish / concrete itself. Remember when the concrete hardens, you are with what you have, or take the whole wall will be lol. With blocks, you find that waste and mortar is a bit messy, but you can always make a blocksome time before the plaster begins to harden.
