RHOMBA CONCRETE AND WOOD BENCH
Create a statement feature for your home, commercial space, or maybe a rooftop environment—the RHOMBA Bench is beautiful, functional, and mobile. Designed by Fu-Tung Cheng, this versatile bench balances the polished surface of concrete and the warm look of wood to deliver a beautifully simple aesthetic for your outdoor living space. If you’re careful when de-molding, you should be able to reuse the form for many castings.

BENT CONCRETE SIDE TABLE
Our most popular how-to guide walks you through the entire process of making a flexible rubber mold and using it to shape fiber reinforced concrete into a fantastic side table. The four legs are created as the mold is bent upward while the concrete is still “plastic”, creating four graceful arches that give this table a timeless sense of style. The rubber mold can be used for hundreds of additional castings and will last for many years.

QUADRA FIRE PIT
Part modern and part rustic, the Quadra Concrete Fire Cube was expressly designed by Fu-Tung Cheng to rekindle the nostalgia of gathering around a wood-burning campfire. The Quadra provides mass appeal with dimensions of 48”W x 58”L. Utilizing CHENG D-FRC mixes, each finished Quadra section weighs less than 150 pounds, making it easily moveable any place within your backyard or from one home to the next.

The sleek Greenbrae Lounge Chair is perfect for kicking back in any outdoor setting. Made entirely of fiber-reinforced concrete, the ultra-thin walls of the Greenbrae Lounge Chair defy conventional expectations of concrete. Weighing in at only 100 lbs, the Greenbrae Lounge Chair is heavy enough that it stays “put” in high winds and light enough to easily move around with the help of a friend.

OUTDOOR CONCRETE DINING TABLE
Featured on Concretenetwork.com, this table project combines basic forming methods for the table top with advanced foam forming for the base to create a great outdoor dining table. With fiber reinforced concrete mixes from Surecrete Design Products we were able to keep the entire weight of this table below 250 pounds and if the table base looks too ambitious for you, the table top can be accomplished with moderate form building skills and placed on any off-the-shelf table base

PARK AVE CONCRETE PLANTER AND BENCH
The Park Avenue Planter and Bench is a versatile seating solution that requires moderate carpentry skills to complete. Turn your balcony or patio into a modern garden oasis with this project comprised of three pieces, two planter boxes and one concrete slab for the bench. It can be moved around with relative ease and the deep planters allow plant roots plenty of room to grow. Drain holes in the bottom of each planter ensures they won’t fill up with water when it rains.

FABRIC FORMED CONCRETE FIRE TABLE
This is a fun project that we completed during a recent training while exploring the use of vinyl upholstery fabric as a forming material. To quickly create the dramatic transition from a flat table surface to the trough holder, the trainees used a standard shop vac to hold the forms shape while casting the fiber reinforced concrete mix.
