According to an advice piece on eHow, curing concrete can take anywhere in between a couple of hours and an entire week.
This, it said, depends partly on the weather conditions, as concrete takes longer to cure in cold temperatures.
Builders may therefore wish to make sure they check the weather forecast before curing concrete to avoid time being wasted on their site.
The article also noted that the length of the curing process can be influenced by a number of other factors, such as the size and type of form a person is pouring.
An economy polypropylene concrete curing tank could be one ideal item to have on site at this stage of a building project.
This heavy duty device is equipped with a heater and temperature controller and offers great accuracy and durability.
