How To Pour A Garage Slab | Monolithic Concrete Slab
#garageslab #monolithicslab #concreteslab In this video I'm showing you how to pour a garage slab. Some people call it a monolithic slab and others call it a Haunched slab. What do you call it? Let me know in the comments below!! The edges on this concrete slab are 12 inches thick and taper up to 6 inches in the middle of the slab. This is part 2 of a 3 part series on this garage slab addition. Part 1 is about forming the slab and the prep work to get it ready for the pour. Part 3 is about how to power trowel a concrete slab. I'll show you from start to finish how to use a power trowel, when to get on the concrete, the best way to trowel to make sure the slab is flat, and some other tips and tricks. For the pour, we used 3000 psi concrete with fibermesh. We also use a water reducer in the mix which allows us to pour a more fluid mix without adding water. This additive ensures we don't damage the integrity of the concrete by pouring the mix too wet. You will see how we screed the concrete, how we use a self-leveling laser level to level the concrete, and how we bull float the slab. This video introduces you to the basics of pouring a concrete garage slab.
