When you have measured the length and distance of the area you are interested in pouring, call our dispatch office and they will help provide the estimated yardage for your project. You can also check out our Concrete Calculator.
We recommend referencing job site permits, checking city ordinances or checking with your contractor for strength requirements.
The wet concrete will have a loss of volume as the concrete “sets” and continues to harden. This loss of volume occurs as shrinkage. That sets up tensile stresses causing cracks in concrete. Concrete cracking can be controlled but almost never eliminated.
Concrete needs to be jointed to account for the shrinkage that will occur. Joint placement is determined by the thickness of the concrete.
No. Mesh reinforcing does nothing to make the concrete stronger. The mesh reinforcing will keep cracks from opening up once a crack has occurred.
Much of that depends on what the concrete is being used for. In most cases, Fibermesh is an excellent no-hassle solution to providing additional strength. We also suggest using rebar or wire depending on the use.
