How hard is it to work concrete? I want to make a DIY quarter pipe and in theory it doesn't seem complicated or anything.
>build wooden template
>lay rubble and a small amount of dirt as foundations
>lay ~6 inches of concrete-sand mixture
>smooth and let dry
but I have a feeling that it's probably a lot more fiddly and difficult than it sounds...

One thing tho, when making the conection at the start of the lip don't just start from the ground, dig a bit like in that picture, or even deeper, so the transition doesn't just get fucked after a month.

No dirt. Gravel.
Using organic shit for a foundation is asking for trouble.

Not gravel, rock.

You're going to need a really tight slump to hold that.
