How NOT to Pour Concrete with Victory Outdoor services. #4

What happens here

After the concrete has set sufficiently, it's time to remove the formwork. The worker, nicknamed 'Darryl the Destroyer,' demonstrates this by first using a claw hammer to tap the pins holding the wooden form boards. He taps the pins *away* from the concrete to loosen them from the ground and the board without damaging the newly finished edge. Once loosened, he slowly pulls each pin out of the ground. With the pins removed, he gently pulls the wooden form board away from the concrete, revealing the clean, straight edge of the patio.

Goal: Safely and effectively remove the wooden formwork from the concrete patio edges.

Tools and materials

  • Claw hammer — Tapping and pulling form pins
  • Form pins — Securing the wooden form boards in place during the concrete pour
  • Partially cured concrete N/A — The concrete patio from which the forms are being removed
