Materials you will need: burlap, cardstock, ruler, X-Acto knife, computer, inkjet printer. 1  Measure out your piece of burlap to 8.5 by 11. Use the X-Acto knife to cut it. 2  Repeat with the card stock. 3  Use the masking tape to affix the burlap to the card stock. 4  Make sure your printer settings are set to Heavy Duty.
Ideally, concrete should be poured when the air temperature is between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Cold temperatures slow the concrete-setting process, and when temperatures dip below freezing, the delay allows the water in the mix to freeze before the concrete hardens.
In weather above 50 dF, if pouring the QUIKRETE Fast Setting Concrete Mix into the hole dry, place the material in lifts of 2' 6â or less, adding the appropriate amount of water for each lift, to allow water to soak all the way through. Using a shovel to âchopâ the material in the hole will help distribute the water.
