New Building

[Dan Darst]

I will reply because I had a parking pad built 12 feet by 40 feet to park
the bus on, but I know nothing. The pad was built 2.5 years ago and have no
cracks yet. First put down six inches of pea gravel, then use rebar wired
together instead of, and into the shape of, the typical wire mesh commonly
used for keeping the concrete together after it cracks. Then request a "five
bag mix", I think this makes it harder or stronger, and poor the slab six
inches thick.

I built mine with 6" and fiberglass strands in the concrete. The builder
thought that 4" would be just fine. They said that they "didn't do steel".
This was done in 2003 and to date NO CRACKS. It is a 34x44 foot building with a
14x14 door. We are located in Western WA. I compacted the site with the BB we
had at the time a '81 31' FC, about 28000#. We now have a '87 PT38, much more
weight. Good luck, you'll enjoy the "Birdhouse". That what we call ours.

I'm getting ready to build a storage building for my 86 8V92 PT40. The
previous owner had kept it in a barn on his farm. I would appreciate
some advise on the concrete pad. I plan on building a 16'x56' building
with 14'x14' roll up doors on each end. I had one builder say to
compact the dirt well and pour 4" of 2000# concrete with fiber the
other says I need to pour 6" of 3000# concrete with wire.
I also plan on putting in a 42" wide by 42" deep by 12' long service
pit.
I would appreciate your imput.

I'm getting ready to build a storage building for my 86 8V92 PT40. The
previous owner had kept it in a barn on his farm. I would appreciate
some advise on the concrete pad. I plan on building a 16'x56' building
with 14'x14' roll up doors on each end. I had one builder say to
compact the dirt well and pour 4" of 2000# concrete with fiber the
other says I need to pour 6" of 3000# concrete with wire.
I also plan on putting in a 42" wide by 42" deep by 12' long service
pit.
I would appreciate your imput.
