CEMENT WALLS AND BENCHES. 



I am about to rebuild a greenhouse 

 and wish to use concrete for the side 

 and end walls. Can you tell me the 

 quantities of cement, sand and stone 

 to use? Please state the thickness of 

 the wall and whether it should be re- 

 inforced. Also state how to make ce- 

 ment slabs for tables, to be used in- 

 stead of 2-inch plank, F. E. 



The usual thickness for solid walls is 

 from six to nine inches. There is no 

 necessity for reinforcement, either on 

 walls or corners, at this thickness. The 

 proportions are: -Stone, seven parts; 

 Atlas cement, one; or, stone, six parts; 

 cement, one. To make a nice finish, the 

 walls should get a coating of finer ma- 

 terial, such as the following: Cement, 

 one part; fine, clean sand, four parts. 



Cement slabs for benches should be 

 made in molds, and at the thickness 

 mentioned they should be reinforced 

 with strong wire netting or strands of 

 wire. Make the molds just the size the 

 slabs are wanted and knock out when 

 the cement is sufficiently set to bear 

 handling. Proportions: Sand, six parts; 

 cement one. Eibes.
