In this video I'm going to show you how to build and set up the forms for a concrete slab. This slab is for a new garage that's 28' x 20' x 6".

When it comes to building a new garage, the concrete foundation is the first and most important step. If the forms aren't built and set up correctly, the slab will not be square, level, and true.

Building the forms for a garage slab doesn't have to be hard. You just need a plan and that's what I'm going to show you.

I have a step by step, plan of action I use each time I form a concrete slab. This video will show you each step and if you want to learn more, you can check out my concrete slab course below.

In the course, I show you in detail, each step from forming, to pouring the concrete, to power troweling the slab so you can do it yourself.

Make sure to check out Part 2, Pouring the concrete for the slab, and Part 3, How to power trowel a concrete slab.
