Just another two-day job for us. And this time, we were assigned to build a concrete table and a tree ring planter.
We will do it right in the area where an old tree stood.
On the first day, we started with the measurements and layout. We had to ensure the tree wouldn't be damaged.
We began by laying hollow blocks to form the base of the structure.
Of course, we shaped it around the trunk, ensuring the spacing was correct.
After setting the base, we installed steel reinforcements to make the structure strong and stable.
Then we added wooden formwork, which would hold the concrete in place while it sets.
On the second day, we poured concrete.
We need to make sure it fills every space...
After that, we smoothed the surfaces and checked the alignment.
The table and the planter, may be similar at first, but they're actually finished differently.
The tree ring planter needs space for soil. So after the concrete dried, we filled it with soil. Sadly, I don't have a photo of it.
I don't know why I missed it. Maybe I was too focused on finishing the work.
It's a bit disappointing because I can't show how it really looked.
Anyway, for the table, it had to be fully concrete. So we applied cement all over it, smoothing it out until it became solid.
And this is it, the table. The one I captured. Yey!
Anyway, this is just another day at work, so thanks for joining.
