Floor Concrete

How do a floor of concrete when builds a barn or shed, a garage or a shop, it is very important that cough foundations on which the structure stands are sufficiently strong, to avoid that, eventually, yield or cracking. A concrete floor, when it is well done, will be a very good basis, and in these times of scarcity of the wood will be cheaper than one wood. Generally the structures of this type arise in gardens, whose land is loose, conditions in which it is necessary to do a good job to avoid the disadvantages that we have mentioned. If the floor is soft will need to dig to a depth of 25 cm, which must begin by marking the four corners of the space to work. This is done by burying four wooden stakes; then choose a well right apron, which serves as a rule, and using it in combination with a level, check that the height of the four stakes is the same, working in the manner shown in Fig.

1. All stakes are buried up to the same height, and then the land is dug so that the parties to the air of these stakes are all of equal length. The stakes should be lifted a few inches on the surface of the finished floor. The hole that has been left to the digging is filled with ashes or pellets, to a depth of 15 cm, so that will be other 10 cm for concrete. The four stakes that mark the angles come together with a thread; parallel to this thread are placed several stakes on each side, 25 mm from the marked limit. These stakes are buried so that their ends are flush with the desired level for the floor surface, and checks the height of each one of them with others through the Ribbon used as a rule, of which we have spoken, and the alcohol level.
