    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/29029"&gt;@beemerx65&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If the Dingo brand is not available in your area, you can also try &lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/easy-mix-20kg-55mpa-super-strength-concrete_p0760460" target="_blank"&gt;Easy Mix 20kg 55MPa Super Strength Concrete&lt;/A&gt; or the &lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/westbuild-20kg-40mpa-concrete40-high-strength-dry-mix-concrete_p0760334" target="_blank"&gt;Westbuild 20kg 40MPa Concrete40 High Strength Dry Mix Concrete&lt;/A&gt;. But I don't recommend getting anything lower in MPa strength.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I suggest speaking to your local store’s trade specialist, as they will be familiar with high-strength concrete and might be able to offer other alternatives.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;hi I’m wondering if I’m able to make my current top about 2 inches wider on the front &amp;amp; side edges for more overhang maybe another 1/2 inch thicker all over to seal &amp;amp; polish better as bbq stains or would it be easier to remake ?? &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@444DAEF616367EFFECB2C6E3EEA2BBEB/emoticons/1f644.png" alt=":face_with_rolling_eyes:" title=":face_with_rolling_eyes:" /&gt;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@D41D1899EFF7820F2D877BAE29497387/emoticons/1f44d.png" alt=":thumbs_up:" title=":thumbs_up:" /&gt;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@D41D1899EFF7820F2D877BAE29497387/emoticons/1f44d.png" alt=":thumbs_up:" title=":thumbs_up:" /&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Evening&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/29029"&gt;@beemerx65&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Love that countertop &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/html/@45A9845BB027EC316189AE2CA43B1C27/images/emoticons/Smile.png" alt=":smile:" title=":smile:" /&gt; Not sure how thick it is. I am starting to think that it may be easier to construct a new one then modify this one. Mostly because I dont know how you could bond the new part to the old part with enough strength to support the weight. And that just raised anther question, what supports the current concrete bench top?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thinking outside the square, I wonder if you could give the whole bench a hardwood timber edge? That way you could expand it out without having to concrete it.&amp;nbsp; I am thinking of something like this&amp;nbsp;&lt;A title="Hardwood" href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/135-x-19mm-l-m-decking-ironbark-kd-standard_p0061786" target="_self"&gt;135 x 19mm L/M Decking Ironbark KD Standard&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;Maybe not all four sides, but the front three sides. I went for a lighter hardwood comparedto the usual Merabau as I think it would look great next to your concrete. How bad are the stains on the concrete?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Dave&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/29029"&gt;@beemerx65&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thank you for your question about extending a concrete countertop.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/36305"&gt;@Dave-1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; has said, it would be very difficult to attach concrete to the side of your countertop in a way that would bond well, be supported and look nice.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately, if you wanted an extended countertop made entirely of concrete, you'd need to start again.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you want to attempt to pour your own, you might like to check out &lt;A href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/Kitchen/How-I-poured-my-concrete-kitchen-countertops/td-p/115666" target="_blank"&gt;How I poured my concrete kitchen countertops&lt;/A&gt; from &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/36585"&gt;@mcscc&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; for some inspiration.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you weren't confident pouring your own countertops, I like Dave-1's idea of attaching some hardwood as an edge band. This would give you that little bit extra space, while still maintaining a nice look to the countertop.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Let me know if you have any further questions.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for your help. I’m ok with pouring another slab as in mcssc &amp;nbsp;page. I noticed that dingo high strength concrete was used with an extra cup of cement. Unfortunately dingo concrete is not available in WA ??&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;cheers&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
