Can anyone tell me how long we should wait for concrete foundations to dry before building a wall onto it?

Question

also want to build a wall on that, how long does this take?

Answer 1

Depends on how much concrete there is, typically a couple of days, a week should be plenty, as for "how long will it take you to build a wall?"- well how long is a piece of string ?!

Answer 2

Is your wall a brick or block & your foundations are 300x300 or 600x600 you have to wait 28 days till the concrete has cured & reached its total MPa strength if you dont the wall will cause stress on the concrete & cause deep cracking which will cause your wall to collapse. If just timber frame & plaster you have to wait at least one week.

Answer 3

depending on weather conditions a wood wall can be built as soon as a day after its poured we build off green concrete all the time and have been for many years

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/2AO3H
This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.
