Concrete Stumps

When most people think of concrete, they think of a hard, grey material used for sidewalks, driveways, and other outdoor applications. However, at Cemex, our concrete can also be used for other purposes, such as creating concrete stumps.

How Concrete Stumps are Made

Concrete stumps are made by pouring concrete into a mould in the desired shape and then allowing it to harden. The mould can be made from various materials, such as wood, metal, or plastic. Once the concrete has set, the mould can be removed, and the stump will be ready to use.

Applications of Concrete Stumps

Concrete stumps are large, heavy blocks of concrete that can be used for various purposes. 

  • For example, concrete stumps can support structures such as decks or porches.
  • Additionally, concrete stumps can be used as a base for a shed or other structure. 
  • They can be used to create a border around a pool or other body of water. 
  • Concrete stumps are often used to create a raised garden bed, as a garden decoration, or as planters
  • Concrete stumps are a type of foundation that is often used in construction.

Benefits of using Concrete Stumps

There are many benefits to using concrete stumps over other types of foundations. 

Strength and weight distribution

Concrete stumps are a very strong foundation, and they can support a lot of weight. This is because the concrete stumps can distribute the weight evenly over a large area. Such a trait is vital in construction, as it means that the foundation will be less likely to crack or collapse.

Durability

Concrete stumps are also very durable and are not susceptible to rot or insect infestation like wooden stumps. This is because concrete is a very dense material, and it does not allow these things to penetrate it. Such a characteristic is essential in construction, as it means that the foundation will last for a very long time. 

Easy Installation

Concrete stumps are also very easy to install and do not require much work to set up. This is because the concrete is already in a liquid state, and all that is needed is to pour it into the hole that has been dug for the foundation. Such a characteristic is essential in construction, as it means that the foundation can be set up very quickly.

Low maintenance

Concrete stumps are also very low maintenance. They do not require any painting or staining and will not fade over time. If they get dirty, they can simply be hosed off.

Considerations When Using Concrete Stumps in Melbourne

There are a few things to keep in mind when using concrete stumps.

  • First, concrete stumps are extremely heavy, so they need to be placed on a level surface. 
  • Additionally, it is vital to ensure that the stumps are evenly spaced to support the weight of whatever they hold up. 
  • Finally, using the correct type of concrete for the application is critical. For example, if the concrete stump is holding up a deck, it is vital to use a variety of concrete designed for that purpose.

Concrete Stumps vs. Steel Stumps

Here’s a look at the critical differences between concrete and steel stumps:

Concrete stumps

Concrete stumps are more affordable, less likely to rot, and less expensive than steel stumps.

Steel stumps

However, steel stumps are easier to install, less likely to crack, more aesthetically pleasing, more durable, and more resistant to fire than concrete stumps.

So, which type of stump is right for you? Concrete is a good choice if you’re looking for an affordable option that is less likely to rot. However, steel is the way to go if you want a more durable and aesthetically pleasing stump.

Choosing Galvanised Steel Stumps

Galvanised steel stumps are an excellent option for various applications, from construction to agriculture, as they offer superior protection against rust and corrosion. Galvanised steel stumps are made from steel that has been hot-dip galvanised.

This process involves dipping the steel into a vat of molten zinc, which coats the steel and protects it from corrosion. Galvanised steel stumps are highly durable and will last for many years.

They offer superior protection against rust and corrosion, are easy to install, and require little maintenance. However, galvanised steel stumps can be more expensive than other stumps. They may require frequent maintenance and may only be suitable for some applications.
