Concrete Specifications
Curious about how thick your concrete slab should be? The drawings below will give you typical specifications for different types of concrete slabs such as shops, home foundations, and driveways. Keep in mind that the reinforcement is just as important as the thickness of the concrete.
Shop Foundations
The kind of shop you plan to build and the location of your shop make a difference in the kind of concrete foundation you'll need.
Here are some of the questions we'll be asking:
- Are you building in a city or HOA?
- Are you building a light weight tubular structure, or a heavy red iron shop?
- Do you have a site plan or drawings?
Here are some helpful measurements to give you an idea of typical foundation specifications.
Light Duty Slabs
Light duty slabs are excellent as a cost effective option for light, tubular structures.
Heavy Duty Slabs
If you're inside city limits or have an HOA, you may be required to pour a heavy duty slab.
Heavy duty slabs are excellent for high quality red iron shops and garages.
