Concrete Steps

Published by gardener at 3:25 am under Uncategorized Edit This

Concrete is a commonly used material for steps, however it is not always the most attractive. A simple mold can be made of a series of boxes, of a few feet of bamboo or in the case that bamboo is not available, lumber can be used as a substitute, each box is better if kept to be the same width but ten or so inches shorter than the box which was used on the lower step.
the method to be observed is to place the boxes one on top of the other, and hold them touching each other   from the outside. Keep in mind that the corners should be well supported.  Cast the Cement in the blocks and you’re on your way.
