[QUOTE="Yellowyj, post: 631056, member: 3504"] When I built my pole barn style shop I used 2x6's to form the slab so I have a 5.5" thick slab instead of the 4" because I wanted a little thicker slab. I also installed welded wire mesh in my slab just for peace of mind. Some areas the grade was left down a little so I have some thicker areas of the slab as well. With careful planning you strategically place thicker sections of slab in areas where you wanted to install a lift later on for very little extra money on the front end. The cost difference for me to go to a thicker slab was minimal and only the cost of the concrete as the cost of placement and finishing was already paid for with either slab thickness. My shop is a 40x30 due to the limited depth of where I placed it in our backyard. I had a patio poured a couple years ago that my wife eventually wants to cover, so I dug out a foot everywhere I would eventually want to set a post to thicken the slab in a 2 foot by 2 foot area for the post to sit on. The cost of the concrete was cheap and the placement and finishing was already paid for. In the future I can drill and epoxy in an anchor for the post easily. [/QUOTE]
