If you are considering installing a new stamped concrete patio, you will probably be thinking about the fact that this is not a long term solution. You will most likely be thinking about the fact that it is a lot of work and if you get caught in the middle of a project where you need to re-sod your concrete then you will end up having to do a whole new installation. Well you will be surprised to know that there are alternative ways of installing stamped concrete. Here is a short guide to help you decide on which option is best for you.

First you need to think about what the sloped shape of your building is like. If it is on a single level then you can just build it like a slab. Make sure that the sloped part is raised so that it will be easier to seal the back side of the concrete. You will want to cover the sloped area completely with concrete. It should have the same thickness as the rest of the concrete around it.

If you are looking at an even more sophisticated way of installation then you will want to consider purchasing a stamped concrete sloped over the surface. This will allow you to build on both sides at the same time. Now there are different grades of slabs available. You will want to make sure that you have chosen one that is appropriate for your own building.

Choosing between the two types of slabs has a great deal to do with how much money you are willing to spend. For most homeowners they will choose to install cement slabs because they are very economical and can be built in relatively small amounts. However, this is not always the case.

If you are putting in a section of a building that is going to need a large slope then you might choose to purchase a different size of the slab. You can also decide to build a wall on the outside of the building with this option. On the other hand, if you are installing a section of the building that is going to be sloped flat and that is going to be on a one level, then you will want to choose the cement slab option.

The other option is to go with plywood over your stamped concrete. The plywood over concrete can save you a lot of money and it will help to prevent moisture from building up inside the concrete. Plywood is generally used over concrete for jobs that are not going to be damp during construction. It is important to remember that you will need to ensure that the plywood is properly sealed before you install it.

There are many different options available to you when it comes to concrete installation. By knowing which option is best for you, you will be able to make the best decision possible.
