Concrete
« on: February 02, 2010, 03:54:58 PM »
Ok another dumb question,but I feel it may be important before my tower becomes a monument to disater as it crashes to the ground.


How long did you folks let your concrete cure before you lifted your tower...days...weeks? To give you some idea, at each guy anchor I will probably have about 1200-1300lbs at each location.

 Thanks,

Typically, if you follow good engineering practices, 3000 psi mix typically takes 27-30 days to reach safe loading limits.


Not sure what you used, So no guarantee.
