What happens here

The demonstrator showcases the Form Extender's ability to facilitate transitions to flexible forms or to use shorter form boards more effectively. By using a Form Extender, a shorter board can be utilized and held securely in place with a stake behind it, preventing it from floating to the front. This eliminates the need for a stake in front of the board, which would later require filling a stake hole, thereby making the process quicker and cleaner.

Goal: Simplify transitions to flexible forms and optimize the use of shorter lumber.

Tools and materials

  • Flexible Form Material Unspecified — Creating curved concrete forms
  • Form Extender Form Extender — Connecting to flexible forms and securing shorter boards
  • Short Form Boards Unspecified — Lumber used as shorter sections of the concrete form
  • Stakes Unspecified — To secure the form boards from behind

are we looking at here, though? So, here we got a transition to a flex form. Maybe you got your 2 by 4s. A lot of guys will run these by. Well, now you can have your boards shorter. You don't need to put that stake in front. You can just clip this in here. Your board can be short there. You can just put a stake behind it. It's not going to float to the front. You don't have to fill that stake hole later. It just makes it a lot quicker, a lot easier, and it does a better job for you, too. Now, you have different sizes available? So, we make them from 6-in all the way up to 5-ft long. So, here'd be a 3-footer. This is really good for if you're running patios. If you're doing a wheelbarrow into a patio area, you leave a little slot out. When your wheelbarrow's full
