If you have concrete stairs, they’re probably pretty hard to remove, but if you want to add some extra functionality to your outdoor concrete, it’s time to put concrete paint on them.
The cement paint is used to coat the steps, creating a layer of concrete, and you can add more to the steps to give them a different look.
Here’s how you can do it.
First, you’ll need to decide how you want your outdoor steps to look.
You can use either concrete or wood.
Wood will give you a much easier, cleaner look, while concrete will give the stairs a much nicer look.
I like to use a mix of wood and concrete to make my outdoor steps, because it gives them a nice solid look without having to remove the wooden sections.
If you can find wood that’s in a lot of different colors, you can paint them.
You’ll have to choose a color that matches your wood.
You may want to go with something like turquoise or pink.
Once you’ve decided which wood color you want, paint it with cement.
The process can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days depending on how thick your concrete is.
The paint will take anywhere between five and 20 hours to dry.
Once the concrete is dry, take the wooden steps and glue them onto your concrete.
Then, cover them with cement again, and make sure they’re completely dry.
Make sure you seal off any holes or cracks on the steps before adding cement, because once cement dries, the steps will start to harden and it will take longer to seal the cement.
Finally, add a coat of concrete to the inside of the steps and make the steps look even more like concrete.
You’re done!
I love how these outdoor concrete stairs add a bit of character to my outdoor spaces.
I could go on and on about how awesome they are, but I’ll stop here.
