Adam2 Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 I'm building a driveway that is on a steel platform with beam and block on top of that. Is it OK to screed this and use it for storage (no vehicle traffic) before putting the concrete / mesh top on it for a few months? Or should I wait another couple of weeks and get the concrete on first? Just not sure how stable this is with a screed on.
Temp Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 If you can't concrete it now how about a large thick tarp? Put some blocks on it to stop it blowing away. 1
Russell griffiths Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 You could use it no different to any other house interior before final screed goes on just be aware of what you are loading onto it and keep well under its load capacity.
Mr Punter Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 You can load out a beam and block floor that has where you just brush in a lean mix grout. The concrete would give added strength but you should be OK. The supplier should advise on max loadings. I have seen one fail but they had staked blocks 2 packs high x 2 along one beam and the floor had not been grouted. 1
