In this video I'm pouring a concrete slab for a new garage that's 50' x 40'.
The garage slab has an attached carport slab that's 10' x 40' included in that total size.
We're sloping the carport part of the concrete slab away from the garage 1" for water run off.
We're pouring a 6" thick concrete slab with 12" thick edges and using a 4000 psi concrete mix with fibermesh reinforcement.
We also have wire mesh with slab bolsters under it and a double row of rebar in the edges for extra reinforcement.
We did power trowel this concrete slab smooth and cut contraction joints afterwards to help control any random cracks from developing
