Newly poured concrete is prone to small, fine cracks within the first 30 days of installation, but most noticeable cracks will disappear within that time frame. If a crack is greater than 1 inch, consider contacting the person who installed your wall to inspect the job.  

When comparing fence post foam versus concrete, concrete is considered more durable and stronger. Concrete is a stronger material that can handle larger amounts of weight, making it a good choice for load-bearing posts. For posts on smaller fences or fences made with lighter materials, like vinyl or wire mesh, post foam is a good choice.

No, you cannot drive on concrete after three days because it has not cured enough to support the weight of a vehicle. Doing so will likely leave tire track imprints on the concrete surface and reduce its long-term strength. It is best to wait at least seven days before driving on concrete.

Most of the time, you or your contractor will spray the concrete form and framework with a release agent or oil to prevent sticking. This is common practice with wood and steel forms. For insulated concrete forms, the styrofoam formwork often remains in place after construction, so you don’t need to treat it beforehand. Foam concrete forms made out of melamine also may not need treatment beforehand, as the material naturally won’t stick to the concrete after it’s cured.
