Colder takes longer. Drier takes longer, if it ever sets up. Also depends on the mix. I would suggest asking the concrete company what the cure time is. I have done a 100' and a 140' freestanding. I waited the full 30 days because multiple contractors reminded me that it is hard in 5 days when it is 8" thick like a basement wall. At 3'x3'x8', I doubt the middle will be hard in 10 days, let alone cured. I go for safety first, I would let it sit for 30 days. lakel...@gbcx.net wrote: > Concrete cures fast.
