Pouring A Footing

Pakmix Concrete Mix is a specially formulated blend of Portland cement, sand and gravel ideal for use where a thickness of 2" or greater is required. All ingredients are thoroughly premixed to ensure maximum strength and workability.

Tools Needed For Project:

Step #1:

Dig a hole for the footing. Always make sure the footing is below the frost line and the base is solid and compacted.

Step #2:

Now, mix the Pakmix Concrete Mix. Follow the directions on the bag. Mix to a smooth consistency. Avoid a soupy mix as too much water decreases the strength and durability.

Step #3:

Place the concrete into the hole, and fill to the desired level, and use the float to provide a smooth, even surface.

Step #4:

To make sure your footing cures correctly, keep it moist with a fine mist from your garden hose. Then cover with an opaque plastic or burlap. Repeat this process 2-3 times a day for 3 days.
