Building up sagging border flowerbeds solution

Near Public buildings slightly dipped cast 11 years ago, the low curb 4 m long, which is why the water after the rain straight into the neighbor's yard, taking with them eroded the soil and its neighbors already ceased like. Decided not to touch the curb, shrinkage've already given, but simply build on top 12-15 cm.

First, it wanted to be broken and lifted, but, again, can be broken into pieces, and prosyadet again, so the idea abandoned.

Training

It all started with the fact that the deceased under the earth excavated curb bit to clear the ground and installing a small casing. Further every 50 cm were drilled anchor bolt. We took a medium length - 8 cm. The depth of the holes 4 cm. Bolts inserted deep into the half and tightened the nuts on top.

Anchors need for reliable fastening of the old with the new border, pour on top.

The process has started

To submerged monolithic curb not stabbed in the side, it was bought by a rigid reinforcing welded mesh wire 2 mm. Her grinder cut into pieces and is not easily bent by the letter "P", and then tied them with wire to a single tape. Bending grid useful long

OSB pieces use the principle listogiba.

We tried to bend so that the grid is in the form of "U" was slightly narrower than the width of the old border. Then another in the course of buckled a little height as the grid was a tall.

Then it was time to put together the formwork and it is normal to set. The case went to pieces of old particleboard vco and the same OSB strips. On the part of the flower beds formwork pressed pegs and from the sidewalk partially hammered stakes, partly backed by a cinder block. Another part of the sealed formwork rails. Done! You can carry solution.

For the batch was used screening the coarse fraction and cement M-400 at a ratio of 3-3.5: 1. 4 meters curb gone somewhere around 4 dropout bags and approximately half sack of cement (not just watched).

Pouring was performed in the evening, when the sun was setting. The day was very hot, and that was the reason for choosing this time to avoid drying out. Final grout curb postponed to early morning and carried out a friend who likes to sleep less than others.

After removal of the formwork and grouting brief border now looks like (Photo 6). Damp, as you can see, a little more, but the form is already there. After drying, paint will be white facade paint and voila! But, it seems, is already updated curb looks okay, huh? What do you think?
