This is not a how to video but just to show how we did it. We think it turned out great. This will be the floor to a storage building. We will frame walls on top of the concrete and put a door and a couple of windows in. There will be no heavy weight or any vehicles on this slab so it should be just fine. Lots of people hate this method and I understand so we will see how it holds up long term. I watched many videos prior to doing this and for this kind of use I've seen no issues long term. Thanks for watching!!!

Been test saying it's as strong as the bag says it is, concrete companies are trying to go to a 2500psi mix on residential slabs so i don't see any problems with the dry pour over ready mix, especially when you get lazy finishers dumping 20-30 gallons of added water in the truck to make their job easier, nicely done

Looks good! I used dry pour over 25 years ago for the fence posts, walkway and porch on my house. Still there. My house was far from commercial concrete so there were expensive surcharges. Dry pour was easy for me to do by myself. This technique has a place for DIY. People here saying it’s easy to learn how to finish wet concrete-- well, ain’t easy if you ain’t interested in learning skills that won’t be looking good on the first and only time. My time and energy go to learning other skills Imwill use more often. I haven’t seen anyone advocating to use dry pour method to create residential or commercial building foundations - but a shed or walkway? Absolutely.

I did a 12*20 at my uncle's farm about 5 years ago using dry pour. He parks his boat trailer on it, It's still going strong.

Did you use 2x4 or 2x6 to frame it out and how many bags did you use and what was the price on each bags ??????
@workingbettertogether4882
@workingbettertogether4882 5 дней назад
I used a 2x6 and dug down into the existing gravel and had 3 1/2” of concrete. We used 119 50lb bags and with the quantity discount it was around $3.36 a bag which was around $400 total of concrete.

The worst problem I see from this trend is people doing this to say, renovate the external concrete of their house to then sell and the new owners dealing with concrete falling apart alot sooner than it should.. the only thing I see this being 'ok' for is setting fence posts

Every time I see vids like this say same thing 15 years experience, save people money , time and call a professional , there is a reason we broom finish for traction and yes the durability will not hold up, (especially in a state that freezes)any bag concrete is junk

About the only labour advantage I can see is not having to mix the concrete. Personally I cant see that slab lasting too long.

​@@workingbettertogether4882they're in every dry pour video comment section whining about the method. They've never done it so obviously it won't work because reasons.
