- We're doing another Dry Pour Concrete pad BUT this one will be a Circular Concrete Patio with individual square pads within the circle! We will also fill in the gaps with River Pebbles for some visual interest. On top of that I will build a Gazebo on it after only 4 days! I hope you enjoy it so lets make something cool!

For party prep, most people are like "oh I need to make a charcuterie platter" . Mike is like "I need to make a whole ass gazebo".
LOL, right!
Lol 😂 that’s how I do lol 😂
He just wanted to take it 1 step further 😆
In all honesty so do i...my daughter wanted her bday part here at out home and my first thought was "well that's a good excuse to make that outdoor kitchen I've wanted to" my husband just said "are you crazy ...we only have like 3 days"lol
Ass gazebo ha, ha.
Fyi to anyone dry pouring. You need to wait at least 2 weeks before trying to use concrete anchors. I did a 4x4 a few weeks back to mount a manual tire changer from Harbor Freight. In 48hrs, I removed the form, drilled the holes and mounted my machine. The anchors would not tighten as the concrete was too brittle. I waited a couple weeks and drilled new holes and did a 1/4" pilot hole 1st followed by my 1/2" for my anchor size. They torqued right up and show no signs of trying to pull out.
Waiting the longer the better! I waited a week for mine and they were solid, I wanted to wait longer but couldn't.
Thank you for this. I love the comment sections for this reason! I’m pouring 2 1ft x 24ft strips to anchor a shelterlogic frame and will be using tapcon screws.
I'm doing research but it seems like dry pour might be the most efficient as opposed to wet poor for small projects?
I have a couple small ish (roughly 1 yard each) pads that I have to pour and I'm considering doing dry pour instead of wet
@kylestyle2202 Well my 4'×4'×3.5 thick" took 7bags. If you're having yo mix more than one bag at a time, dry pour goes ALOT faster. You just have to wait longer to put it to use for heavy traffic or loads.
I like that I can pour all of this concrete for 500 bucks, if I mess up break it and do it again up to 10 times for the prices I've been quoted... and I'd still have change... 😂😂
The best reason to do this is because you can take your time and make it look good. Most people can't make wet concrete look very good. The only people that don't like this seems to be the folks in the concrete trades. The only dry pour that I have seen that didn't look good was a contractor doing everything wrong so the viewers think it can't be done. Keep up the good work.
Will be doing 3 different dry pour pads soon and have watched 50+ vids on the topic. This is by far the very best Dry pour completed project on youtube right now.
Oh my god THANK YOU SO MUCH! I truly appreciate that man! ☺️👍🏻
@@MichaelBuilds Hey, why was it wrong to put half the concrete down and water? I didn't notice it do anything different nor did you go into explanation why you were wrong.
@@yooper9062 Mike mentioned in the video that by adding water half way through the dry pour process, he actually noticed that the water was wicking up, which didn't allow him to put a proper finish on the top layer.
@2:19... "Cheap and Stubborn".
100% right there with you.
Great job. I did a dry pour for a wading pool 10 years ago...never used water at all! Just mixed the concrete (sharp sand and cement) and left it for four days. The nights here can be fairly wet - either humid in summer (which it was) or damp dewy nights in winter. After 4 days it was solid. It's still there and hasn't sunk a millimetre! Weight of the pool is 3 tonnes.
Little tip: If you soak your timber before you pour, they expand. When they dry, they contract, and are easier to pull out.
From England.
Cajun County Livin', the people who popularized the dry pour method, recommend only two mistings, one hour apart regardless of slab thickness. Next, they recommend two showers per inch of slab thickness with one hour between each shower. Thus, a four-inch slab would receive two mistings and eight showers over a 10-hour period. A slab 3.5 inches thick would receive the same amount of watering. In their most recent video, they caution against over-watering a slab during the hydration cycle in order to avoid spalling (surface deterioration). Once the hydration cycle is finished and the concrete is set, continued slab hydration over the next seven days is recommended to help with the curing process.
Agreed on no weed barrier. I wasted an entire summer pulling up old barrier in a huge area, cleaning rocks and putting new down only to have weeds this spring. Even if it blocked weeds below, it created a seed bed for new weeds to come up. Pull weeds or spray them!
I've always had weeds start out in the mulch layer on top of the barrier with the roots sometimes going through the fabric, making it a pain to pull them!
Just spray vinegar on the weeds or salt. I do it all the time. Safe for the doggies and kiddos.
Happy fathers Day Michael.
It's fantastic how you're adding to the body of knowledge regarding dry pour. The wet mix traditionalists are up in arms and defensive why it's such a terrible idea with no scientific evidence, while practical, thoughtful people like you are seeing an opportunity to learn, create, and refine new methods. This patio you created is probably the largest anyone would want to do dry pour, the wet mixologists really have nothing to fear from this new method, it will expand the usefulness of concrete for smaller projects for DIY. Thank you for your work!
Stonemason here, work with concrete and cementitious materials every day for the last several years.
Food for thought post here so meant to be completely in the interest of a respectful discussion.
As far as the whys regarding the traditional method, concrete, mortar, etc is a product that requires specific amounts of water for the hydration reaction to occur properly. This isn’t to say that hydration doesn’t occur but what often happens is that once the layer on the exterior starts forming, it affects the amount of water that can be distributed to the material in the middle of whatever you are forming. I’m making it very difficult to be able to control the ratios of what you are mixing.
I am totally open to exploring dry pouring and I don’t think anything should be scoffed at purely on the basis of tradition, however there is a scientific basis for why mixtures are currently the way they are.
This is all the more so considering concrete often needs reinforcement.
Calm down , water mixed concrete is always much much stronger and will last much longer...
@jamesduke4957 Ever dig out old fence posts that have been there 20+ years? Dump a bag in the hole and add water, dry pour right? Those last the test of time 🤷♂️
@@jamesduke4957 calm down- always stronger and longer lasting? Prove it. You can’t, because these methods of pouring are too new, there’s been no possibility for long-term testing.
I have watched all of the dry pour concrete videos in TH-cam because I want to make one. In terms of quality, I think yours is the best among them.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Autocad ? Was it that one ? @michaelbuilds
So I'm 40 and have a bad back and neck. Have been wanting to put a outdoor living space. The catch is it cost and building alone. Watching your videos have really given me more confidence that I am able to achieve this. Thanks a bunch for creating this content.
Happy Father’s Day! This project turned out great! And for sure my patio is going to have corners. 😜 No extra work lovelyness for this gal.
This was great thanks. Now I just need to have a party so I can build something like this.
Best tip here was wetting the ground before pouring, nice one.
Fantastic work on that concrete pad & gazebo build Michael! . Been really excited for this one and it didn't disappoint. Looks great!.
Fantastic job! Your work ethic is impeccable. Love what you do. Give this guy a TV show!...👏👌👊💥😊
Where do you get quickrete this smooth? Ours is full of rocks
I'm here for the hard rock music! ❤❤❤
Never knew you could dry pour and get that great a look. Thanks!
I would recommend some mulch glue for the rocks. It will keep them in place and keep a lot of the weeds from rooting deep!
Oh and Happy Father's Day Michael! 👊
Nice. Learn how to pull my walk right easy. Thank you🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
OMG! Super! Fabulous! You are amazing Mike! I really hope you had - at least a little - help off camera. Thanks much for making another great video!
your quickcrete is so much smoother than what I see in a bag here in FL, there barely looks like there's aggregate in yours which is the major problem with dry pour finishing from what ive seen. Great job looks good
This is what I wanted to comment on. I just did 2 8'x6' pads and screeding was a nightmare due to the boulder sized aggregate and the results were still less than ideal. Where do you find this particular small aggregate concrete?
Have you tried gently smoothing out the surface with a new paint roller before the initial misting?
You need to shimmy the screed board more to pack the aggregate down. Then dry paint roller the surface.
Second this. My yellow bag is also very rocky. Can we just use mortar mix for top coat?
@@cheyennewu9193 Yes we can use Mortor mix for the top inch or so, Different parts of the country fill their bags differently as they are manufactured in different places even if its the same brand
That's the right way to do it
I would never have thought that dry pour would have any strength.... Please revisit this next year at the same time with a durability update. Meanwhile I'll be looking at your other vids on the subject :)
I grew up just knowing that you used it for fence posts. This is a neat way to do finished pads.
It isn’t
DUDE!!! YOU ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED IT!!! EXCELLENT!!!❤
Thanks for making this video, I'm really glad that I saw this. I'm going to be dry pouring a 5x8 slab this weekend. Good to know about doing the watering at the end and not at the halfway point.
AWESOME! Email me the pics after your done!
I just have to tell you that I love your videos!!❤ You always teach me new things and I thank you for that.😊
Awesome build! Happy Father's Day!
Fantastic work on that concrete pad & gazebo build Michael! 👏👏👍👍
This video was Awesome from start to finish! Definitely the best dry pour video on TH-cam!
Can’t wait to try the fry pour method! Your videos are very well put together👍🏽
I agree on the weed barrier. One good solution is to use weed preventer before pouring the gravel.
Q: Will you make a video on painting/ staining fence? 🤔
Hey Michael. Nice job, I've been pondering about doing a slab for a shed and you just made it easy. Happy Father's Day!
The prodigal cement son has returned!
Mike another great video. Keep them coming, and i like the dry pour segments.
You are totally hilarious, entertaining, and a great builder. I initially thought about release agent for those forms, but the toxicity wouldn't be appropriate for the application, and you managed to get the forms out without anything bad happening. Here's hoping everything stays nice and level and true beautiful design.
Looks fantastic Michael.
Happy Father's day! : )
Thank you! ☺️
Yah that was awesome. Like I said Mike I can't wait to show you my pergola. I'm taking notes on all your videos and will be starting as soon as the parts get here.
Been really excited for this one and it didn't disappoint. Looks great!
You can add concrete stain to give it some color as well in the center square and leave the border alone.
Lol, you put the gazebo together by yourself! People always tell me I will need 2 or 3 people to put together a large gazebo like this. This is a big motivation for me, I will be putting together a gazebo soon.
Beautiful gazebo!
Glad to see you wearing respiratory protection! I always cringe watching dry pour videos where people are breathing in all that nastiness.
I truly resonate with the statement of "I am very cheap and stubborn" 😂😂😂
I am really enjoying your videos, Michael. Just found your channel today (researching dry pours) and have subscribed. You have a charming personality. Fun to watch.
Fantastic job and great instructions
Great job! You did your slab better than 2 professional concrete men I watched on YT!
Really enjoy all your projects!
Super amazing and fabulous.. Just outstanding👍👍 🌸
Looks good and thanks
Thank you so much. Trying this next spring!!!!
You are a madman and I know you slept good that night. lol! Thanks for the video.
You nailed that build. Awesome
THANK YOU! 🙏 ☺️
This was amazing to watch!
I want to try a dry pour countertop next
Heeeeyyyyy Michaaaeeelll! I love the patio and the pergola! You are a MACHINE!!! GREAT JOB!!! What a BEAUTIFUL set for relaxation! 💕😊
Lol well this machine is takin the day off and shuttin down lol 😂
I really like this. Good job!
This was fantastic and beautiful! I'm going to try the dry pour concrete method this summer.
appreciate the majora's mask vibes
Looks good. I’m gonna suggest that you keep your metal reinforcement at least 1.5 inches from any edge. Thanks for the video.
Very interesting details and information it looks awesome
Nicely done!❤
Awesome build!! 👍
All the time I've spent watching dry pour videos I could have been mixing concrete
Hi MIke. This is the first time I have watched your channel and your build on this is awesome! I just did a very small concrete patio for my grill and did a dry pour for the first time. I used the quick drying concrete (commonly used to pour into fence post holes). In hindsight I wish I had used the high strength kind you used and just let it dry and cure longer. I look forward to watching your channel.
Awesome job as usual!
Another outstanding video!
Great job😊
Founders KBS. One of Michigan's finest.
You still need concrete footings underneath if you’re putting a gazebo on top.
Awesome!, Looks great.
Wow great job
Thank you
Awesome video! Looking forward to the (dry pour?) concrete table!
😂😂😂
This is awesome 😮
MAN GREAT JOB CONGRATULATIONS IT LOOCK AMEZING GREETINGS FROM WISCONSIN U.S.A. ❤❤😂😅😊
Thank you so much George! Also, I LOVE CHEESE! 😂
Ok I’m inspired now!!! 😮
@michaelbuilds your videos have killed me... I'm dead thanks to your encouraging videos. I decided hell let's do it! Grabbed my tools and went to work... Flash forward 4 hours heat index is 111 and I'm 33% of the way done cutting sod out of the devil's dirt... Oklahoma red clay and Bermuda. Can't kill the Bermuda it holds on to the earth like the last pinch in a sweltering port-a-potty. As I stroked out and lay in a pool of salt laden sweat the tunnel closed and I waited for rescue. My toddler and wife walking over me like they had a sweet victory. Only her water gun brought me back to the light. As I roused I realized I'm an idiot for starting this on the hottest day of the year yet. Will advise if I finish or fall from my 10' retaining wall in an obvious decision to end the misery.
Okie verification: pass
Beautiful
Love the video. Thanks, I'm thinking of doing this for a driveway 😉
Curious, does a dry pour take more product(concrete), like percentage wise, anyone have numbers on that??
Looks good!
this was awesome
great vid... makes me think we could actually do this ourselves! also, thank you for the links to the products you used.
You guys are awesome!
great job!
Awesome 😎 I love ❤️ your videos.
Discovered you dry pour videos yesterday. I said, "that would work great for my patio. Maybe i could pour it in 3x3 blocks with rocks in the gaps..." *todays video*
It looks sooooo good! I'm glad you're not poo pooing on dry pour anymore
Wow. Once again Awesome 👏
That came out dope brotha! 👍🏻👍🏻
Very nice
Nice job, love the patio. For your grout lines, what if you would add concrete in the bottom before putting the rocks in?
Ooooh. Just a small amount would help with the weeds!
As a weed stopper or to help keep stones more stable?
@@emilcasas2707 I meant it as a weed stopper, but it would probably help stabilize the stones too.
Dude… I can’t believe you can edge it dry…mind blown
Thank you you are the best
I’ve been waiting 3 weeks for this vid to drop after watching your first one (before I try it here at home)
Hey Michael! Great stuff man, you truly are the gold standard of everything concrete on TH-cam. Really appreciate all the work you put it just to entertain a bunch of us strangers. Do you have anything planned any time in the near future that might include some sort of a concrete ramp? I'd really like to see the right way to do that.
REALLY..Gold standard of everything in Concrete.....In that case you would consider yourself the Gold standard of Logic...😂
@@yojo619 Correct.
