ABSTRACT:
A concrete forming panel and its method of use is provided wherein the forming panel has a face plate including a frame, a front side and a back side, and one or a plurality of pairs of ribs which extend longitudinally along the back side. The pairs of ribs are provided sufficiently closely together to grip an element passing through the face plate or to grip a wedge which in turn engages the element. The element may be a nail, stake, or other fastener used to hold the forming panel in the ground, to connect the forming panel to other forming panels, or to indicate a desired level for concrete poured against the front side to be cured and hardened into a finished structure, such as a foundation for a building. The ribs may be provided with slots for receiving a reinforcing element of a relatively harder material, and the reinforcing element may be shiftably received in the slot so that its position may be changed as the reinforcing element wears during use.
