I've been asked to re-render the top of a concrete seated area because the current seat is too flat and rainwater settles on it. (FYI - the depth of the seat is 700mm)
The problem I have is that the front of the seat is also concrete, so there's a corner-bead already forming a nice, clean edge. I'd planned to slope the seat with 10mm of render at the back falling to 0mm at the front but this will almost certainly crack at the front due to the render being far too thin.
Any ideas?
I thought something similar to Self-Leveling cement would be good as it is made of much thinner stuff (but of course the self-levelling part rules this out!).
My other ideas are to recommend tiling the area, putting timber on the top or I may simply stop answering my phone......
