Standard wood form height
Standard wood form height
(OP)
Do wood forms for concrete construction come in standarad lengths. I am designing a 30ft high concrete wall. I plan to step the width of the wall. I want to step the wall in height increments in multiples of a standard form length. I plan to use 8ft multiple increments.

"Sheets govern formwork sizes, with the exception of proprietary formwork systems in which case the manufacturer's material information sheets should be referenced" [Roughly paraphrased]
I would take it to mean that if you're making your own forms, or using reusable timber forms, you're dealing with 4' and 8' increments. Otherwise you've got to talk to the manufacturer.
I am looking forward to seeing more experienced replies!
Good luck,
