Hi,
Next week i'll be laying a 7m x 7m concrete pad 6" thick for the base of a wooden garage/workshop i'll be buiding.
The area was excavated last Oct, 8" of type1 laid and wacked every so often along with being weathered in.
I'm thinking of laying them as 2 seperate pads as 7x7 seems to large on its own. The concrete guy said its best to pay £5 extra per metre and have fibres added to the mix, anyone had experience with this? Also that rebar is a waste of money? A friends lending me some steel shuttering, which should save time. What gap between the 2 slabs should i leave?
Any advice much appreciated,
Zeb.
