What happens here

Attach your formwork using screws instead of nails. If nails are used, the form boards will be very difficult to remove after the concrete sets, potentially damaging the fresh concrete edges. Screws allow for easier and cleaner form removal.

Goal: Secure formwork in a way that allows for easy and clean removal without damaging the concrete.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill — Driving screws for formwork attachment
  • Pry Bar — Demonstrating the difficulty of removing nailed formwork
  • Screws — Attaching formwork

What they say

Hide

pitched away from the house, water will flow back towards your house. Pitch it away from the house, water will run away from your house. If we set our formwork too low, your concrete will be thin and weak. If we attach our formwork with nails, these forms will be hard to pull. If you're going to order over a half yard of concrete, just order a truck. If your concrete's too wet, it could be weaker and take forever to dry. If it's too dry, it can be hard to work with.
