[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 254628, member: 9"] Several Items Here: The 4" square welded wire panels of #6 guage wire works well. Stronger than the "re-mesh" used on slab floors. Also, any junk steel you have laying around...nice place to dispose of it to help reinforce the concrete. Ditto on suggestion to set coffee cans (ends taken out first) as "forms" thru which to run your well pipe out of. Now... The "Hardi-board" concrete type sheets WILL get soft and you can easily knock a hole in them with foot (or break off a piece with your hand) when they get wet/soaked. I'd go with treated plywood sheets and/or use any primed siding sheets. Then, paint with good exterior paint before it rains. Can also use 3/8" exterior plywood and then "side" the structure with the corrugated tin (e.g., "Galvalume" panels) and trim out for an excellent weatherproof, fire-resistant structure. [/QUOTE]
