How to prep for Concrete garage floor with wire mesh 

Perfectly explained! No music... straight facts! LOVE IT!

nice work i am planning on pouring a pad outside of my shop/garage out about 8 more feet from an existing apron so watching concrete prep videos always helps me figure what i need to do

Can’t wait to see the power trowel in action, great video bro 👍😎

This one was "CLASSROOM" quality on presentation and belongs in a "Tech Ed" class. Seen you do these many times but this one was classic and quick prep for the 'floating floor'! Great job, BOSS! Sonny

Looking forward to seeing the pour. 👍🏻

Those panels are great to work with. One of the companies that I worked for bought a welded wire mesh operation in the early ‘80s. The owner wouldn’t sell his trademarks or brand names. So, in effect they bought a business with no customers. Luckily, they found a new home center business that was needing wire mesh for concrete. They wanted it in rolls. It took very little time to fabricate a few rolling machines. That plant operated for well over 20 years just making those rolls for a big orange box store. But, my point, it’s a pain in the tail to use grid from a roll. You have to roll it out then flip every strip. Otherwise you’ll be doing nothing but fighting the cast (technical name for curl within a roll of wire). I got several rolls that were sent to our testing center. Boy was I glad to give the last one away so I didn’t have to fight it myself anymore. I have used flat panels every since!!! You did a nice job detailing and illustrating the prep work. Thanks Boss! PS- I’m working on a video of a repair job on a bed I made 15 yrs ago. Hope to post it this weekend.

All prep today was waiting for the concrete truck to arrive be seeing that tomorrow!!!! Great job as usual!!!!!

DB doing awesome job see you on the poor my friend stay safe and god bless

You are an excellent teacher! Very thorough. Did someone show you how to do all these different types of projects? Or is some of it self-taught? Maybe a little of both!You can fix just about anything and build/construct all sorts of things the right way.

Got to pull the strings!! Great video friend.

Great Job💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Nice job!!👍

Great Job 💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥

What, no expansion joints along the walls? Here in Florida we have termicide sprayed before putting down the plastic, code required.

@Dirt boss, You should put the formwork on the inside of the garage door opening. That way when the garage door is closed it will cover the seam/transition from the garage slab to the driveway!

Always breaking a joint - is that like the equilateral of christening a boat with a wine bottle? lol

How thick was this pour? Getting ready to pour a 14x14 root cellar base. I'm pouring right on top of sandstone, so not much tamping going on. It's been raining like crazy, and this sandstone wicks it away faster than it can rain.

Where’s niko? Awesome job. Great video.

My guy absolutely destroyed that dpm

You post I click

Is it ok to pierce the polythene with mesh wire

Hi Mike! Just a simple question....Why do you pitch the garage floor towards the automatic gateways???

Don't you lift the fabric to centre of concrete thickness e.g if pour is 5" don't u set fabric to say 2.5"

Nice. What gauge wire do you use for the garage?

First!! 😉
