Hi fellas,
Do bags of cement have a shelf life? The reason I ask is that I started a project last year and got beaten by the weather so was left with 15 bags of cement. They are in their undamaged bags in the garden, on a pallet, well wrapped up and protected from the rain but not the cold.
I am getting a skip in the next week or so so if they have 'gone' I don't mind launching them.
With them being subject to temperature fluctuations would this effect their properties? I'm not a tight arse but if they are usable then they will be used. They will be used for some mortar for a concrete block wall and some rendor for the same wall.
Cheers, I did do a search but could find nowt.
