I've got a nice 25x35 pole barn with a dirt floor. I'd like a more permanent, and more clean, concrete floor. Any ideas on what that might cost, and how thick I should have the floor?
That's insane. What general area? I'm near BrenhamTikkaShooter said:

If you can pour a barn slab for $6, that is awesome. I understand the flat work numbers around that but a barn, with beams, I don't see how it can be under $10.Todd 02 said:

Most will quote you 3,000psi mix. I almost always upgrade to 4,000psi if I'm gonna drive on it. It's a little stronger and will usually only run you a few hundred dollars more.
Minimum 4". Make sure they compact the base before placing concrete. Your slab is only as good as the subgrade.
Recommend thickened edges, especially at drive-through doors. Also recommend fiber. Make sure it's mixed in well. Up to you whether you also do wire mesh and/or rebar.
