    Hi All

    Our IP gaps of about 3 inches between footing and concrete path around house, any ideas on how to fill them.

    Thanks

    One of mine had the same. A couple of bags of sand from Bunnings fixed it.

    Gravel is quick easy and no mess, and also easy access to inspect for termites and damp

    Taking a stab, "possibly" the gap is intentional.
    One consideration would be for easy termite control/treatment, rather than drilling holes through the path every foot or so for treatment.

    Just buy a few bags of premix,just pour the mix in broom the surface off then just a light spray of water and let it set,but the easy way is just use gravel that would be the low cost and easy to do..imho..
