Concrete curing time ?

[j1985 1,984]

It's going to be finished in red sealant paint which is a smooth finish so "hopefully" no shit can stick to it, plus only one run and will be cleaned daily!!

what about cleaning the runs ? shoudn't it be finished a lot smother, or would slabs be a better option ? a.t.b sfa

 

Slabs are a bad idea. No matter what you use to grout with the gaps between get full of piss and the whole place stinks. After 18 months or so there will be grass and weeds growing from the dirt trapped in the cracks.

No reinforcement but it does have a good hardcore/type 1 base underneath it and the ground it's on is solid. Iv got one up the top of my garden I did too which is fine 4 years later so hopefully this one will be sound too!! If not the misses will gave a wicked rockery lol
