Retired concrete contractor and on my big pours I would set up overheads witch were basically a L bracket with a I hole that was tapped for a set screw . All I had to do was pull a string line from form to form set at grade and slide a 2x4 that was above the finished grade of the concrete and pull the steel staks the were attached to as we screeded . I wish I would have bought a roller screed . Two back surgeries was what I paid for being set in my ways . Your 100% right form to form is yhe right way to strike the mud off

Concrete work is hard so we have tried to find the easiest and fastest way to do it trying to avoid injuries especially back injuries.

your labor cost to grade perfect and saving concrete is basically a wash at the end of the day vs. when you just quick grade and pour a hair deep ! I have done both and the cost is pretty freaking close to the same when you compare ! Just my 2 cents.

I think the reason the roller screeds are not used as much anymore because when I started in concrete in 1984 they were only made for commercial work. They were so big you needed heavy machinery to move them around. But I would use one now because I see they are built smaller and it doesn’t require a 10 hp engine.

@@redlinemanu iv used the rail setup on different jobs before but see no value in them, I guess when you’ve learnt to do things the “traditional” way and believe that to be the best then these other methods seem strange. I’m in Australia, 90% of concrete is screeded by hand, we also just have one person on one screed. You guys in the states have so many more concreting machines and tools then we do though, iv been watching American Concretors on KZfaq for years and it’s mind blowing some of the stuff you have over there.

Hand rodding would be faster, though a little harder on the back and I never liked how the roller would fling cream back on the finished surface. If this is an advertisement it's funny that you have a Bunyan handle and tube ends on the roller :)

We like the Bunyan, that was one of the first, our homemade one is a Frankenstein screed with different parts. We find the roller screed to be faster and when the mud shoots over the type we will just go back and screed it again

People don't like innovation. I've worked on high rise construction for over a decade and been in dozens and dozens of pours and nobody likes to be told how to pour easier or faster. They'd rather kill their guys and "tough it out". Btw, no roller screed in high rise construction in Los Angeles. I saw them years ago. Nothing new, but people are hard headed and stuck in their ways

Nobody pours curb at a 1" slump. Takes too long to place and its difficult to close up in form without massive amounts of honeycomb. Pour a 5" slump, fast, with 2° accelerator and we finish 3 - 9 yard loads a day of curb....every day.

Roller screeds are great for small jobs like these. You can use laser screeds on sloped concrete, as long as it's flat, not level, flat. You can also laser screed compound pitched with 3D system. I just purchased 2nd Ligchine Screedsaver Elite. 35,000 sf per day with FF 75 FL 70. Can't do that with Roller screeds.
