OK, guys, I am getting ready to pour a new concrete floor in my shop area. The garage has a good floor, but the shop had a hardwood floor, which was rotten and is now waiting for a dumpster to take i

Not knowledge on the "French drain", but I would say that a 4" floor reinforced with just chicken wire would make a decent floor for a chicken coop, but not a shop. Al least, dig the edges deeper lik

You will get floor cracks if you don't reinforce, so you'll want something in the concrete. But you can just get the 6" square reinforcing mesh if you don't intend to drive on it. Since the floor hea

For the weight you are contemplating, you can use the 6"x6" re-mesh. It looks like huge hardware cloth. Concrete cracks just to bug you. Any car would be heavy enough to add to the cracks. So you'll

With only 4" of concrete, rebar will not be a huge advantage over mesh. Rebar wired together into a 6"-12" grid is appropriate. Remember, concrete is simply a form of composite construction. The ceme

Put in more (thicker) reinforcing than you expect to need - I used a rebar grid for my L-shaped twocar garage/shop. I also highly recommend a vapor barrier and some blueboard under the slab. /// unsu

there? the grid Hi Allen, It's worth considering some form of a gully trap for your floor drain then lay a pipe from that to some point outside the shop where you can construct the outfall soakaway.

We may have a terminology problem here. Do you mean "blueboard" as in the stuff that goes behind skim-coat plaster (watch "This Old house" for mention of it that way)? Or, do you mean blue extruded p
