question about the pole

[china003]

the poles were just built by the professional company for the future fence yesterday. I was told it should be dry for 3 days,but yesterday night,it began raining(less than 12 hours since the poles were built)

will this situation have some side effects of the pole?

thanks for any reply.

It should be ok! Most concrete for home use or to set poles are fast set kind. It should be harden in less than an hour. After harden, water is not a problem even beneficial. It will take few days for concrete to be strong enough. You can call the company; ask them what kind of concrete they used. How long it will become hard.

放心放心，混凝土那东西喜欢水。只要你没发现水泥和沙子被水冲跑了，就没事。

混凝土先要凝固，然后是强度增加。凝固（所谓初凝，一般是几个小时）之前，它怕水，主要是怕把表面的水泥和沙子稀释冲跑。凝固以后的事是强度增长，一般混凝土要二十八天达到设计强度。在这一段时间里，它是需要水的，特别是头几天。

你的桩子已经打下去一天了，什么混凝土也该凝固啦。这时候泡点水，是好事。
