Default How long for concrete to dry ?

will be dry by the morning with normal concrete, you can get fast setting stuff which will set in about half an hour

it should be dry enough in the morning ,but i would usually give it 24 hrs before i would put any big weight on it

depends on the strrenght of concrete,did you mix yourself or use readymix
