How To Form A 30' X 28' Concrete Slab - Garage Slab

This video will teach you how to form a concrete slab.

My company, Day's Concrete Floors, Inc. is forming a 30' x 28' x 6" concrete slab for a garage.

I'll show you all the steps needed to build the forms, square the slab, drive in the metal stakes and get the slab ready to pour.

My company specializes in forming and pouring concrete slabs. We install concrete slabs for garages, houses, sheds, and storage buildings.

If you want to learn how to build the forms and pour a concrete slab, I have included a link to my training course below. In the course I teach you everything I know about forming concrete slabs and pouring them too.

Mike, I appreciate the simple narrative you use to create this instructional video. I learned alot and apprecitate you.

I switched to screws too but always had trouble with the screw tip getting clogged by concrete or dirt and getting stripped out. Finally I found the PERFECT SCREW! You’ve got to try the screws made for metal buildings that are 2.5” long. They have a 1/4” tip (that is a tip that is connected on the outside of the screw) it never clogs and I have ended up reusing these dozens of times if you collect them when stripping the forms. I’m hoping to start a trend in the pro concrete community using them. They’re not very expensive either and the fact that they are reusable is even better. Much love Mike! Keep up the good work

Great video. I have a question. I plan on doing a concrete parking pad. 20 x 12 wide. Could I make it 4 inch thick? Do I need rebar if I'm only parking a car? I will put gravel underneath as a base

Hi Mike, great vid. Ive used a lot of dewalt but prefer the bosch stuff for most tools now, find them better made for same price comparatively. Also as you are already aware the slab is only as good as the preparation already done, I would be concerned about the depth of stone/hard core and whether its been compacted correctly. I dont trust other peoples work. Good idea with steel pins though. Regards Jon

Good Video, Everything explained made sense. Learned a lot watching this. Thank you

[agri-lifeorganicfarm]

What about leveling the concrete 2 x 6 forms and what what about any slop in the slab for a drain? Great video's !

[nister]

I looked for your $49 course. Did you double the price?

[terrymcgillicuddy]

Thanks Mike. A lot of good info. Enjoy all your videos.

[jimkime]

Great video and no bullshit just the facts and information. I’ll check the course out. Getting ready to pour a slab for my shop 40’x30’

[AsylumSays]

Love your videos! I have a question? What thickness of concrete slab should i use for my shop which is going to be used to hold my truck and trailer?

[roachwerks]

could you build a small one floor house on a slab like this? without stem walls?

[aboveallholidaylighting]

can you go into more detail on your process with the laser level?
