In this video I'm going to show you how to form, pour, and finish a concrete shed slab. Simple DIY steps to follow to install your own concrete slab for a shed. This shed slab is 14' x 10' x 5". 
We set the forms using 2x6's, metal stakes, and a laser level. We used 3000 psi concrete and wire mesh reinforcement. This concrete slab design is very strong and will support any type of simple shed you plan to build or purchase and install on the slab.
If you're installing the concrete slab yourself, I'll show you the simple steps from start to finish in the video. If you want a more detailed video instruction, you can check out my concrete slab course below. The course will teach you everything you need to know to install your own concrete shed slab of any size.
