Slab for a BBQ Area

[charliegolf]

Hi All
I plan to lat a concrete slab about 2.25m square for a grill area with worktops on 3 sides. It will have a timber frame on top, and clad in stone.

Will a 100mm slab with a slightly thicker (150 mm) edge do the job? I have some mesh on site to go in. Will I need compacted hardcore for this job; or will just stripping the soil do? The subsoil is stable.

Thanks.

PS, how long after laying can work start?

A 100mm thick plain old concrete slab will eat it. You can drop some mesh in if you want.

Great Noseall, thanks for that. I like simple- it suits my abilities!
