Hello, I just posted about rebar a bit earlier and mentioned the liteform blocks I was considering using and got two vastly different opinions. Now I'm a bit concerned about using them. The actual form I was looking at was the flexblock made by liteform not the liteform put together form. I could sure use some input here. I wasn't going to do the pour myself but have someone come in and check and make sure I had everything right and let them do the pour. Thanks to all who posted earlier. I do appreciate the input.

I've used them with no problem. The 8 ties per form will hold a 6 slump with no problem, follow the recomendations for pour in no more than a 4' lift .

Make sure that you order the internal bracing it keeps the walls supper straight.

I used the flexxblock not the fold-form or the standard lite form knock-down block.
