Make your own Lightweight Concrete Garden Boxes from Perlite! Build the forms and cast your own reinforced perlite concrete panels that join together to make long lasting and durable garden boxes. I'll make a lightweight concrete version of my garden panel from Perlite. And, I'll experiment with cement dyes and pigments to see how the colours come out. I'll replace the gravel aggregate from concrete with Perlite. And, I'll make a version using CSA cement. This is Part 3.5 of the series and a follow-up to Part 3.

@mikeshoops 4 года назад

Love this video. I grew up in a family of masons and your attention consolidation and curing was superb. According to a concrete engineer, the glass fibers really do not and reinforcement; they provide even curing in hopes of avoiding checking, though engineers do not guarantee against it. Steel (rebar) provides tensile strength (you can't stretch it to a fracture easily) and concrete provides compression strength, which varies to aggregate qualities and ratios of cement.

Been fascinating watching the series and the results. I used a perlite/portland cement mix to lay a greenhouse base 25 years ago and it is still holding strong and stands up to wear and tear well. Where I live in the U.K. the soil is a heavy clay base. The addition of perlite helps aerate and lighten the soil giving much better growing results, over the clay soil.

@octaviusvanzandt3695 4 года назад

Wow, your series on concrete/cement is amazingly well done. Really appreciate your detailed explanations on mix ratios, products, and test results. I made some stackable concrete planter parts a few years ago and they turned out way too heavy for me -- so if I ever do that again I'm going to try your perlite mix. Looks perfect.

Seriously mate, your channel is awesome. I just bought your 3 version package, not so much because I couldn't figure out how to build these myself but more as an expression of thanks for all the concrete R&D you've done and your willingness to share with us all. I do need to start replacing the Macrocarpa boxes that I made a few years ago, so these will be perfect for the job. Would make great Christmas gifts using a Nordic symbol for the inset panel for the gardeners in the family too. Cheers from down under for the videos mate

Hi! I bought the plans but i have not been able to make them. I wish i was handy. I asked a woodworker to give me a quote for them. No answer so far! Anyways i found the portland cement here and i got 20 bags of it for cheap. I hope im able to get these boxes up and running before the garden season kicks in. I just hope they arent too heavy for me to carry coz if they are then i have to entice my nephews to help me out :D I am gonna stack them 3 high for height of the beds so then when i get older i wont have issues with my back, shoulders and neck. Thanks for the plans these boxes are awesome :D Much love from Norway

I've always had hydration issues with perlite. Either too much water, and it's weak; or it doesn't compact well and completely. I think a 'superplasticizer' would help, but I didn't really care that much to go find some.

Really good stuff! Very good video. One comment: I'd try to mix the color with most of the water you plan to use to get a most even color distribution. e.g.: If you expect to use 20L of water for a batch of concrete, I'd mix the required amount of color with 18L of water first, then mix that into the dry mix. Just a thought!

i wonder what it would look like for decking, having them being able to lock down from underneath, with a clip of some sort as long as it s durable to stand on side ways, and since decking joists or sixteen inches apart, it should be stronger, in theory only

@zemadeiran 4 года назад

A great replacement for aggregate are fired clay pebbles or "hydroton" with is commonly used in hydroponic growing and is becoming a mainstay in the construction industry due to is non compacting nature along with light weight and strength Keep up the good work

@ResilienceOnPurpose Год назад

Vegetable shortening is a great form oil for this too. I used to make these with forms that were slightly flared, like the sides of a cake pan, then the panels would just drop out by flipping the form over. No disassembly required. Seems like radiusing the ends would allow them to be connected at any angle and long serpentine beds or stand alone beds with as many sides as you want could be made.

@tedtolentino4955 11 месяцев назад

Seems easy enough method if you did not have to have the stake holder channels molded into the ends like he does here with his panels.

I love your easy to understand instructions and easy to follow video... You might want to try an even lighter mix, using NO sand... only perlite, portland cement and water... You do not need the sand as an aggregate because the perlite becomes the aggregate... and the mix is 4 parts perlite to 1 part portland cement... the panels will be much lighter... and strong..

@MANaboutTOOLS Год назад
