Pouring Slab for Shed

by Derek
(Brampton, On, Ca)

Q. What thickness of slab is recommended for an 8x6 garden shed? Is 2" sufficient over a 1 inch screening bed?

A. I would recommend 4" thick. Two inches of concrete will break very easily. Put some wire mesh in the concrete for reinforcement to hold it together in case it cracks.
