    Anyone know if you can use shuttering pans on a raft foundation.

    Seen them used on farm tanks and wondered if you could turn them on there side for a slab about 2' thick( at the perimeter).

    Raft foundation is 11 m x 7 m

    Yes it can be done
    Need to be well propped though to stop them bulging out as they wont have much strength
    Would it not be hard to float and screed it if it they are sticking up that high?
    Better job might be 6"x3" timbers?

    A raft foundation could easily be 2 foot thick, parents house is I think built on a metre slab. probably only a metre round the edges, but still some load of readymix to do it.

    An extension to an old cottage that had the walls basically sitting on the ground and had never moved an inch.


    If suitably pinned and propped I see no reason why they couldnt be used on their side.
