SETTING ELEVATION OF SLAB
• Use grade pins (A) to set height of slab
in the middle of the pour.
• Chalk line or expansion joint sets
elevation around walls.
• Form boards set elevation where
there are no walls.
MAKING WET PADS
1. Using hand float, make wet pads around all grade
pins (A).
Note: Make sure all wet pad distances
are shorter than the length of board
being used.
2. Use board to stretch from wet pad to wet pad form-
ing rows (B).
3. Once rows are formed, run screed board off of the
two rows leveling the previously untouched con-
crete (C) in between.
NOTE: Height of concrete in area (C)
must be slightly higher than wet
pad rows (B) prior to striking off.
Once floated, wet pads (B) and concrete (C) will all be the
same height
