Manufactured forms for casting concrete fence decorative covers

In the first part I showed how made frames for plastic molds (link at end of article). In the last days of May holidays went on to finish form the lining of metal fence posts. There is an idea to hide them in a concrete "shirt" with a decorative surface made of natural pebbles.

Blockouts made for forms. They are wrapped in stretch film and wrapping paper for that would be separated from the concrete.

Two forms with dimensions 10h12sm - for the pillars fence mesh. Will hide all three sides of the column. And 5h12sm two forms - for the pillars of the fence of the profiled sheet. These poles have to hide half.

The reason for this lesson - do not want to repaint, because before that we have to somehow remove the old paint, which peels off because despite its effect of "a powder paint" - it was not the enamel 3 in 1 to rust, although I was assured that it was So.

Markup cover forms - for a flat top surface of the block. Why - is clear in the following photo:

Because previous jigsaw broke - broke off the U-shaped profile of the drive mechanism, has acquired a new one:

I bought an ad, practically new of Dexter, 700W. Laser pointer, platform rotation angle. Quick change of saw blades. According to the reviews - a good brand name, which is amazing for an instrument sold in Leroy Merlin.

After the May holidays, the week did not go in the evening at the construction site. It was the cold weather. Sometimes it was snowing:

However, after half an hour he had melted:

Contrast the weather was in May.

For the pommel on the front of the pillars of the fence has decided to make the shape of a pyramid:

I made from a laminated plywood 8mm, which remained sheets of molds for casting permanent formwork foundation

Although there are plastic molding for such pillars 39h39 cm, but the product, cast in it, I did not like - it looks like a hat in the fungus.

Wooden frame is needed as a transition from the inclined plane to the vertical, which would have had no form an acute angle and is not chipped.

After the trial castings will be understood how this element would look on the pole. Form interesting. Although, all the amateur.

For those who first read the article of this channel - photo, on which you can understand what the fence is planned in the style:

For pommel for blocks between these pillars made form a gable roof:

I use each piece of plywood. Stitches Casting on "washed concrete" technology is not important, because the upper layer is washed off the concrete.

In the inverted position. Yes, the form - "the farm." But in similar forms cast a plate of permanent formwork. For limited "circulation" blocks and elements - the best option.

Well, for the tops of the pillars of the fence mesh and metal sheets - a miniature form, too, in the form of a pyramid. Just after the casting is clear - whether they make or have to come up with something else.
