Concrete base for concrete sectional garage - Concrete base

[seanandruby]

With a concrete sectional garage it will be heavy. i would make the slab 150 wth steel reinforcing. Or at least a thickening about 500 wide around the edge ( maybe just remove the type 1 around edge to give you depth ) as it is above ground i would run the visqeen under the shutter so that it is the concrete on show. you will need to put pins every metre or so starting at the corners, or else the timber will push out with weight of concrete. Yes once the concrete is in remove the corner braces.

My god, you got hold of the concrete supplier at 6pm on a Saturday evening??

Yeah friendly local service they helped allot

Anyone got any tips and advice for putting up the concrete sectional garage never done anything like it before i got all the panels,roof, doors, gutters, windows.

I know the garage size from working out where all the panels go so i was going to mark out the size on the pad with a chalk string line then start from the back wall.
Or do i put in all the corner panels first ?
