Step 15: Placing Bucking

After cutting, ensure that all rough openings are square and use corner braces or strapping to maintain square during the pour. Place vertical rebar below window openings before installing bucking. Ensure holes are placed in the bottom of window bucking to inspect and consolidate concrete during the pour. Make sure that all bucking is braced adequately both horizontally and vertically before the pour. For BuildBuck, use foam adhesive to secure in place before pouring.
