Concrete Blocks.. Civil Engi-Halp
« on: Sat, 17 September 2016, 07:38:21 »
Emphasis on Flatness.. Need flatness

Buy premade and drill holes..

Vs....

DIY Cast



Thoughts?

Do ya'll think premade is cast more _flatly_ than DIY.. since they prolly got better molds?


Is it hard to drill concrete without cracking it ?..  does a cast hole work better/ more rigid-ly/ structurally sound than a drilled hole ?

Not much to go on but drilling holes in masonry is no fun.

If you can get pavers in the right size and shape, and you only need a few small holes, drill.

If you know how to cast your own and need many, that will be easier.
