Concrete Slab Secrets No Contractor Wants You To Know!

#concreteslab #slabongrade #garageslab This is part 2 of a 4 part series about this job and the two slabs we installed for this homeowner. Today we're pouring a 40' x 24' x 6" concrete slab for a storage building/garage. A 6-inch thick concrete slab will be strong enough to support this structure and the RV, Tractor, Lawnmower, & car he plans to store inside here. I know many of you are used to seeing grade beams or haunched and thickened edges for concrete slabs and in many cases those are good ideas to do. This concrete slab will suffice in this case, where this building is just for storage and is a single-story building. I've installed 100s of concrete slabs just like this one over my 45-year career with excellent results. The main key is properly installing a gravel base that will support the concrete slab for many years. This homeowner has done that. I'm going to show you in this video how we pour and level the concrete for this size garage slab.
