Metal Buildings

A concrete foundation is one of the best foundations to build on and will help your building or carport last for years to come. It will also save you the trouble of having to do it later down the road. However, if you’re ready to get your VersaTube building kit up before the end of the year, time is running out, especially if you want to build on a concrete foundation. 

Right now, early Fall is the best time to get your concrete poured. Here are a couple of reasons why you need to get your concrete poured now, before your project is delayed.

The weather is still mild enough

Mild weather is the best time to pour a concrete foundation. If the weather is too hot or too cold it can impact the quality and lifespan of your foundation. And too much wind will cause the water in concrete to evaporate too quickly leading to shrinkage cracks. The mild weather of Fall is perfect for pouring concrete and allowing the foundation to cure.

It needs time to cure

It takes two weeks for concrete to cure enough to support the weight of a car and 28 days to support the weight of an RV. This is about the same amount of time it takes to ship your new VersaTube metal building kit to you, so you should plan to pour your concrete foundation right after you order. That way your concrete foundation will be fully cured by the time your VersaTube building kit arrives. After that, all that’s left to do is assemble your kit, and that hardly takes any time at all.
