Quikrete 5000 Concrete Mix

QUIKRETE(r) 5000 Concrete Mix (BOM #108624) is a commercial grade blend of stone or gravel, sand and cement specially designed for higher early strength. It is ideal for cold weather applications and achieves 5000 psi after 28 days. It is suitable for all concrete projects, including slabs, footings, steps, columns and walls up to 2" thick.

Whether you're installing a patio, adding new steps or repairing a cracked sidewalk, quik 5000 can help you finish your project quickly and easily. The commercial-grade blend of sand, cement and stone is ready to work with and comes in two bag sizes: 80 lb. or 60 lb relx.

Its quick set time means that you can complete most footings in a day and get out on the patio in less than a week. Unlike traditional concrete that takes longer to dry and set, quik 5000 sets up within hours of mixing. The only drawback is that you don't have as much time to shape or smooth it after it sets up, which makes it great for footings and smaller jobs.

If you're putting in an outdoor kitchen, fire pit or other heavy furniture, you want a patio that's as strong as it is beautiful. Fortunately, fast setting concrete like quik 5000 can deliver the high-compressive strength you need to ensure a long-lasting and low-maintenance deck for entertaining.

Quikrete 5000 is a premixed concrete that's just as strong as concrete you make yourself or buy from a plant. It's easy to use and comes in a variety of strengths as high as 5000 psi.

How to Use a Quikrete Bag

Just like traditional concrete, this mix starts out with sand and cement mixed together in the right ratio for the strength you need. You add water and mix the ingredients until you have the perfect mix for your job.

Once you've poured the concrete, you'll be able to take it to the next level by adding additional sand, gravel and aggregate. You can also add color or reinforcers to the mix to customize it for your project
