Ground beam 'formwork'559 viewsAs mentioned, this is a low budget Thai style construction. We will be pouring the ground-beam concrete directly into the trenches in the earth, when the trenches have been lined with plastic sheeting. This will also fill the rest of the footing holes to lock everything in place.
The ground beams a re 20 x 20 with four runs of RB9 and RB6 braces at 20 cm.
