About Fort Collins
Fort Collins is the county seat of Larimer County in northern Colorado and home to Colorado State University. It sits at about 5,000 feet near the mouth of the Poudre Canyon.
Regional considerations
Colorado's dry air, strong sun and wide temperature swings affect how concrete sets and cures. Cold-weather pours may need protection such as blankets, and hot, windy days can speed up surface drying.
