{"product_id":"concrete-mix-20kg-bag","title":"Concrete Mix 20kg Bag","description":"\u003cp\u003eCement Australia Concrete Mix is a quality ready-blended mix of cement, sand and aggregate, made for small projects around the home and garden. There’s no sourcing and measuring separate materials: add water, mix and pour. It suits garden edges, mower strips, paths, garden slabs, foundations, footings, and posts and uprights for pergolas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMixing is simple. Add 1.75 litres of clean water per bag to the mixer or wheelbarrow, then add the mix and blend thoroughly. Only add small extra amounts of water (about 100ml at a time) if you really need to, because too much water ruins good concrete. A good mix should hold its shape when squeezed in a gloved hand, neither too stiff nor too sloppy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the concrete in the formwork, filling all the corners, then compact and level it and finish the surface with a float or trowel. Keep the surface moist for 7 days for maximum strength, remove formwork after 24 hours, and stay off it for at least 3 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCement Australia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConcrete Mix\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComposition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlend of cement, sand and aggregate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAustralian made\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.75 litres per bag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormwork removal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAfter 24 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFoot traffic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot for at least 3 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCuring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKeep moist for 7 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWorking temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvoid mixing and placing below 5°C or above 35°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGarden edges, mower strips, paths, garden slabs, foundations, footings, posts and pergola uprights\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHot weather.\u003c\/strong\u003e Set times are affected by extreme heat, so avoid mixing and placing above 35°C.
