Abstract
A concrete screeding tool includes an elongated stake, a disk, and a bar. The stake has a longitudinal axis, an outer surface, a first end, and a second end. The disk extends radially from the outer surface. The bar is spaced from the outer surface and is parallel to the longitudinal axis. Slurry depth is measured by vertically positioning the concrete screeding tool spaced from an outer frame; pouring a slurry into the frame; placing a screeding board between the bar and the elongated stake and on the outer frame; and leveling the slurry with a sawing motion. The tool is small and durable, is easy to set up and clean, prevents dips in concrete, makes bull floating concrete easier, and can save man hours in screeding the concrete level.
Claims3
A measuring and supporting tool for use with concrete slurry, comprising:
- an elongated stake having an upper stake portion and a lower stake portion, the upper stake portion including a plurality of pre-measured line guide notches;
- a disk extending radially from the lower stake portion, configured to rest at ground level when the tool is pounded into the ground;
- and
- a guide bracket extending from a margin of the disk, the guide bracket being parallel to the upper stake portion, forming a slot between the upper stake portion and the guide bracket configured to support a board;
- wherein the upper stake portion is formed with a circumferential notch at a junction between the upper stake portion and the disk, the circumferential notch defining a weakened break point;
- and
- wherein the elongated stake, the disk, and the guide bracket are formed as a single unitary piece.
