Pour a Concrete Slab

Step 5

Build wheelbarrow paths.

Decide where the concrete truck will park and plan how the concrete will get poured in the formed area. If you're lucky, a chute extension can be added to the truck to pour the concrete directly into the formed area.

In most cases, however, you will need to deliver it with wheelbarrows. To keep from damaging your lawn and to provide a smooth running surface for the wheelbarrows, construct paths made of 2 by 10s or 2 by 12s.

Use scrap pieces to make a stable bridge wherever the wheelbarrow will go over a form board. Make sure the form will not get bumped as you wheel over the bridge.
