Learn Five ways to mix Dry concrete in this video! This video will show you various ways to mix dry concrete bags so that your next concrete project goes smoothly and fast.
The five ways to mix concrete covered in this video are:
1. Mixing Concrete in a Wheelbarrow.
Mixing concrete in a wheelbarrow is very easy. Simply add water and dry concrete to a wheelbarrow and mix it up using a shovel. This method can be a bit labor intensive, However.
2. Mixing Concrete with a Mechanical Mixer (Typically Rented)
Mixing concrete with a mechanical mixer is much easier than mixing concrete with a wheelbarrow. You can typically rent a mechanical mixer from your local big bog store for a few bucks. To use a concrete mechanical mixer, simply plug in the mixer, turn on the rotation, and then add water and concrete to the mixer. The Mechanical mixer will mix the concrete up via the rotation of the mixer. Then, simply pour it out where you need concrete.
3. Mixing Concrete with the “Mud Mixer” tool.
The Mud Mixer is an excellent tool for mixing large amounts of concrete. If you are a contractor or a DIY'er who does a lot of concrete work, the Mud Mixer is a must have. To use the Mud Mixer, add dry concrete mix to the hopper, adjust the amount of water, and then let the mechanical rotation of the auger do all the work. The Mud Mixer can mix up to 40 concrete bags in one hour, making it a great option for mixing concrete.
4. Mixing Concrete in a Bucket with a Drill Mixer
If you’re looking for a quick way to mix small amounts of concrete, mixing concrete with a drill mixer in a bucket is an excellent option. The process involves adding water to a 5 gallon bucket and then gradually adding concrete mix. After adding the correct amount of water and concrete, mix with a drill mixer. This method is faster than mixing by hand and requires less effort. Mixing concrete in a bucket is typically only suitable for small projects
5. Mixing Concrete in Place by Pouring Dry Mix and Then Adding Water with a Hose.
Mixing concrete in place is typically only a good option for small areas that do not require any structural strength. This method of concrete mixing involves pouring the dry concrete mix onto the surface where it is needed and then adding water with a hose. This method is ideal for projects that require the concrete to be placed in a specific small location. However, it can be challenging to achieve consistent mixing throughout the entire project.
