If you need to put a lot of poles in the garden or cottage, then you can speed up this process by reducing some steps in the standard procedure.

What is the essence

Usually it takes a long time to install one column due to the preparation of concrete mortar. First, the pit breaks, after the concrete mixture is prepared, a pillar is installed and empty places are poured.

As it turned out, concrete mortar can be prepared directly in the pit under the column, thus reducing the time for mixing the mixture and pouring it. For one column, approximately 1 to 3 bags of cement-sand mixture weighing 25 kg will be needed.

Technology

To begin with, digging a meter-deep pit, at the bottom of which either stone or brick is laid. A pillar is placed on it, which is surrounded by retaining stones from below on all sides. At the top of the pit, a pillar is supported by a wooden beam.

It is important to align the pillar in all planes, for this the construction level is used. Further, with the help of water in the well, all voids are abundantly wetted, and then the pit is evenly filled with cement-sand mixture in a circle.

To protect themselves during the backfill of the pit, construction respirators and safety glasses are worn, since the dry solution is very dusty. After the first bag is emptied, the mixture is again abundantly poured with water, which can be used in excess, since all unnecessary is absorbed into the ground.

A second bag is poured onto the water in the same way from above and again the composition is poured. At the same time, it is not necessary to mix the layers together. The process is repeated until the pit is filled with concrete to the end.

During the construction of the fence, the guide of all pillars is fixed with screws. After the concrete has set, after about 12 hours), you need to make a blind area. For this, the necessary portion of concrete is prepared, and with the help of a trowel, the pillar bases are closed with a mixture. This is necessary to protect the wooden bars from moisture.
