Thread: rombus grid ...

Has anyone here tried any of that rombus grid in there shed. Most likely members over in perth.

I reckon this would be so simple to do DIY.

and you could do small sections as you had time .... as you don't need to worry about stop/starting sections of concrete slab.

I assume those tie points are what prevents the concrete just popping out like ice blocks.

Neat idea though. I'm already thinking about re-doing our driveway.

Yes, you could just dig a hole and put re-enforcing ini t where the hoist posts are to go, and pour "through" the grid. Nice idea!. You don't want hte concrete joining at the bottom. It like paving, designed to "give" and large loads without cracking. they do a pretty cool demonstration here:

so if the ground ever moves, you don't end up with a damaged floor. This is also why it will probably work really well on your drive. If you have farm gates the turn muddy, I'm guessing you could lay this there as well.
