Last year I poured a slab for a new shed I built what a difference over buying a shed with a wood floor. Tuff shed had no problem with building over the concrete slab they tied into the slab with the walls and now it's liking walking into a small garage.
Well done! Thank you for sharing. I just did my 1st concrete slab, 5' x 7' x 3.5", did a "dry pour", it is curing now, looks o.k., but some rocks on surface. After reading your comment about crumbling, will likely forgo "dry pour" and go with traditional mixing in the future.
Beautiful work - I tried a bit of screening last year and didn't do too badly but I love what you've done here as a professional in your trade. Keep it up and thanks for the insightful and educational video. Well done ❤
I did my own pad like this last summer. Got a couple quotes for around $2500 in Canada. Ordered mix from a company that charges by the 1/4 yard. Cost me $550 and did it myself in a day total (prepped the day before and poured the next day) I wet cured it for 3 weeks and when I drilled my baseplate in, it was by far the hardest concrete I've ever drilled through.
@@Mattytube18 depends on your location and the contractor. They usually charge around about $15 to $20 a square foot. Thats labor and material. It can get expensive. This jobs looks to be a 12 x 15. That would be about $3000 +/-
From all the concrete RUclips peeps I watch, I like the 50/50 horse 🐴 broom best. I’ve noticed it gives it a smoother finish, and still maintains a matte, satin reflection on the concrete while still providing traction. Other guys, with different brooms it seems too coarse texture with deeper lines which looks lower quality
Hello I’m seeing lots of people jumping on this “Dry pour” Fad here on YT I try to explain to them that it’s not going to create a product that will last. In my younger days I had a vinyl liner pool company and we did the decks around the pool slide and diving board. I would call in my concrete buddies for large pours. So I think I know what I’m talking about. But would really appreciate your take on the Dry Pour idea Thanks @@OdellCompleteConcrete
wow i do admire your efforts put on making this conc slab. you are making the master piece of the slab haha amazing. i could not imagine if you hired someone to do this work and granted amazing amounts of dollars
Nice piece of work. You definitely take pride in what you do. I think I will likely hire someone like you to do my slab because it does not look like an easy DIY project.
I know from experience I would have used a vapor barrier under the slab, what you have made is a big sponge and your substrate ( dirt ) will be more than happy to transfer water and minerals to you slab causing mineralization, staining and cracking in my humble opinion.
Great work!! You are very experienced however I would have liked to hear more instructions when you were framing for the slab and when you were smoothing out the concrete. I’ve never done a job like this and I just would have loved some tips and tricks to make it less intimidating. Nice work though.👍
I’m a novice slabber, watching many RUclips vids… just did a small slab 4 ft by 6 ft. Of all the videos, not one mentioned the type of concrete consistency you need for a smooth surface slab. Unfortunately, without that knowledge, I just used Quikrete regular 4k psi. I could NOT get it smooth like I wanted it. No one told me how much large gravel is in that stuff!! Maybe you next vid could be a short seminar on different types of concrete for different uses/finishes.
You guys inspired me to do multiple pads in my backyard and a retaining wall planter in the corner! Thanks for all of the detailed videos. In some of my first slabs, there are some low spots where water pools… is there anyway to fix it?
You can patch the spots with something like Ardex CP. Then using the same product do a thin coat over the whole surface(after proper mechanical grinding) and apply a broom finish. I do it all the time.
Great videos, much appreciated. I notice that you don’t always use gravel and seldom vapor barriers. Can you tell us when they are needed and when they are not?
Can you do a cost break down for this job ? I am looking at having a 13’ x 15’ concrete slab poured and would like to have a price point. Great job as always.
This is an art form. Nicely done.
No pun intended?
That is the nicest shed slab ever. Great work. Love the dedication to getting perfect results
Wow, thanks!
You definitely make it look simple and DIY friendly. Doesn’t seem so intimidating.
I concur
Clean and tight slab for sure - should last many decades!

YOU SHOULD HAVE SHAKED AND BAKED WITH THE WOOD 2X4, THAT WOULD HAVE REMOVED THE ROCKS

Thank you.
Dont seen an inexperienced DIYer could complete this project especially the troweling part. Takes skill n experience. Kudos though for the upload.

Great job Tyler, good work 👍
Thanks Jonny!
Great to watch you work Tyler. Like father like son in so many ways. Top notch. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks I really appreciate it!
Nice job. Clean work and I am glad you worked the excess concrete off of the bottom of the pour after you stripped the forms. Good clean work.

Enjoyed the vid. My brother and I are going to pour a pad for his shed. Neither of us have done it before, so this should help. Thanks!

I was wondering about why are you cutting a groove on the edges? Why are you cutting a joint at the middle of the slab?
Who needs crosstraining BS when you got concrete work! I stayed for the vid 'cause you went to town on those 8-inch roots!
Another great video, Tyler! Keep Going!
Ok

I also used a vapour barrier on my shed base.
Seen loads of concrete jobs in the uk always with vapour barriers.
Wouldn’t type 1 be fine for underneath
It'll be fine. Just applaud the guy, Mr Armchair.
@@chadd587 pretty sure it would be fine idk tho only been in construction for 3-4 years

I use the " 50 50 broom " as well. Best broom IMO for most jobs. Leaves great lines. I'll use the 100 % plastic broom on certain jobs though too.
