FAQ
How high do the formwork boards have to be?
This is easy to determine: you take the depth of the foundation trench minus the layer of gravel plus the overhang above ground level. This gives the required height of the formwork boards. It is best to cut some 20 centimetre long wedges from the battens to support the boards laterally against the garden soil.
What does formwork mean?
Formwork brings liquid concrete into shape and holds it until it has completely hardened. If you build with concrete, you really can't avoid formwork.
Why use wood for formwork?
Plastic, wood or steel can be used as materials for formwork. Wood is considered to be the cheapest. Wood is often the first choice, especially for DIY projects, for example when it comes to building formwork for self-built garden sheds. Wooden boards are used here, which are fixed in the ground with pegs and then stabilized with cross braces and supported with wedges.
