Abstract
A form for creating a pattern in uncured concrete during a casting process includes a support frame and a perforated reinforcing structure coupled adjacent to at least a portion of the support frame. The perforated reinforcing structure includes a plurality of apertures defined therein. A pliable liner is disposed at least partially within the plurality of apertures and at least partially about the perforated reinforcing structure adjacent the support structure. The pliable liner has a patterned surface formed thereon for creating a corresponding pattern in uncured concrete poured adjacent the form.

A form for creating a pattern in uncured concrete during a casting process, comprising:
- a support frame;
- a perforated reinforcing structure, coupled adjacent to at least a portion of the support frame and having a plurality of apertures defined therein;
- and
- a pliable liner, disposed at least partially within the plurality of apertures and at least partially about the perforated reinforcing structure adjacent the support structure, the pliable liner having a patterned surface formed thereon for creating a corresponding pattern in uncured concrete poured adjacent the form.
A form system for creating a pattern in uncured concrete during a concrete casting process, comprising:
- a base;
- a pair of opposing end wall forms, extending upward from the base and defining end wall surfaces of a vertical mold cavity for uncured concrete;
- and
- a pair of opposing side wall forms, extending upward from the base and defining side wall surfaces of the vertical mold cavity, the opposing side wall forms each including at least:
- a perforated reinforcing structure having a plurality of apertures defined therein;
- and
- a pliable liner, disposed at least partially within the plurality of apertures and at least partially about the perforated reinforcing structure, the pliable liner having a patterned surface formed thereon for creating a corresponding pattern in uncured concrete poured adjacent the form.
A method for making a form for vertically molding concrete, comprising the step of:
- a) obtaining a support frame;
- b) coupling a perforated reinforcing structure to at least a portion of the support frame, the reinforcing structure having a plurality of apertures disposed therein;
- and
- c) disposing a pliable liner at least partially within the plurality of apertures and at least partially about the perforated reinforcing structure adjacent the support frame.
