Re: what time of concrete mix to use for a outdoor BBQ bench top

Hello @Matfoxy6 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about what concrete to use for your benchtop.

 

Thank you very much for sharing that picture of your BBQ area. It's looking great and it appears you've made excellent progress.

 

I suggest having a quick look at this discussion - Concrete tabletop project by @markw. It's a well-documented guide that shows you how they built their benchtop. It has excellent tips and recommendations on how to remove concrete bubbles and what reinforcing to use.

 

I recommend having a look at the Easy Mix 20kg 55MPa Super Strength Concrete as this is what they used to build their benchtop. I suggest calling your local store to make sure they have this in stock. 

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
