Looking for a funnel for filling Concrete bollards

admin

I do bollards enough to want to get a funnel for filling 4" and 6" bollards.I was thinking a 12x4 pvc reducer and 12x6 but not at $140 each and none second hand from eBay. Anyone have another funnel idea that isn't just making one.Sent from my 2PS64 using Tapatalk

Reply:a plastic water cooler jug with the bottom sliced off might work.i.u.o.e. # 15queens, ny and sunny fla

  Have also used the big traffic cones.  What about rolling up a piece of FRP with a couple of 1/4-20's and fender washers to hold it in shape you want??I've got a big plastic funnel for filling 8" pipe.  I'll have to see if I can dig it up."You can't out puke a buzzard"
Reply:Put a few gallons of water in the pipe then just pour in dry concrete from the bag until all the water flows out, then just finish of the top.***********************CR
Reply:A tremie funnel is what I'm talking about. But probably cost a couple hundo.

Reply:Traffic cone... you can't improve on perfection


Reply:Go to lumber yard or local building supply, ask for a footing bell for a sonotube,  don't know where you are but in the North east these are common in frost areas. Designed to be buried  with the sonotube on top, makes for a footing that is wider than the sonotube, But instead of digging with a post hole digger and just dropping the tube in you have to excavate a lot more. Anyway it should make a great sonotube concrete funnel.  About $20https://bigfootsystems.com/include/products.htm
