#EverythingAboutConcrete #TheConcreteUnderground
This video is about how to pour and finish concrete with a steep slope to it. The concrete patio/driveway area we are pouring has a 12" slope to it in a 10 foot wide area.
In order to pour concrete with a slope like this, you have to pour the concrete at a pretty stiff slump.
Slump is how dry or wet the concrete is after mixing it. It is measured on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being very dry and 10 being very wet or loose.
The slump we poured this concrete at was approximately a 4 inch slump.
It's more difficult to work with but it will hold a steep slope much better than wet concrete will.
