How to Prepare Concrete in 3 Simple Stepsš§±
Mixing up some concrete for a DIY project? Proper preparation is key! Follow these 3 steps:
1ļøā£ Choose your materials - Pick the right cement type, coarse aggregate (gravel or crushed stone) and fine aggregate (sand).
2ļøā£ Calculate your mix - The standard concrete mix ratio is 1:2:3 (cement : sand : aggregate). Adjust amounts as needed.
3ļøā£ Mix it together - Combine the dry ingredients first. Then add water gradually while mixing until optimal consistency.
Tips: Only mix what you can use in 90 minutes. Wear protective gear. Stir frequently as you pour to prevent settling.
