Reinforcement works

Decking work update here

Dennis3D:
Just as promised.
Here is what we are doing here today.
Completing the colum layouts and grids.

Can you finish laying foundation blocks before standing these columns if the rods are not yet ready?

Dennis3D:
Some of the Works on lintel and Colums.

You used 10 coaches for door (entrance) instead of the conventional 9 coaches for door. The 10 coaches will automatically increase the door height from the usual 7ft.

Do you have a special or customised door to install for the entrance?

Hatesin:

Yes you can, but for best practice you have to do your starter pillars. This is because, for your pillars to be properly done. You will need to do a colum base for pad and strip foundation as we did here then pour concrete to fill up the base to the same strip height then lay your blocks to close down the 900mmx900mm colum base or 1200mmx1200mm colum base size to 9 inches that's 225mm which is the colum spaces between the blocks.

That's for the question and observations.
This was done intentionally because we intend to increase the entrance porch there a bit when we get towards the finishing stage...

Kindly follow through to see the plan we have for it when we get there...

Thanks for following up with us here. We appreciate very much.

The area is about 220sqm
And the number rod irons used here is not determined by the area but by the structural design.

So I would prefer you follow your own structural design for that information because the design of your slab and this one may not be the same.

Ok. Like how many bags can deck 156 sqm Area?

Approximately 87 - 95 Bags
Your mix ratio has a role to play in the number of bags to be used too.

What should be the best mix ratio for a solid deck?
