pool too deep
I poured (shotcrete) a concrete pool adout a month ago and have now
decided it is too deep. I want to pour more on top of the deep end/middle, a varying thickness of 1.5 to 10 inches. The existing finish is very rough. The concrete wil be 400 psi pump mix. I could use some fibercrete? Will this pour bond well enough? |

It is not going to move. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |

Up to 10" sounds quite thick, might save a little money if you backfill some
with gravel to keep the thickness closer to 3"-4" . It May also need additional reinforcement . "islandcon" wrote in message ups.com...

Please explain that concept to me. Steve |
