Pouring Concrete Floor In Pole Barn

Labor cost for concrete slab.

Pouring concrete floor in pole barn.

If your pole barn has solid walls they will serve as forms for pouring the slab. Since there are no foundation walls in a pole building a floating slab can be poured inside the poles using the skirt board for forms. It is best to have the shell of your pole barn completed before you pour a concrete slab. Concrete slabs are poured either off or on the job site.

Prior to pouring a nominal 4 3 1 2 actual completed thick concrete slab in building finished graded compacted fill top will be even with skirt board bottom. To have concrete poured and finished it will cost 2 52 to 2 60 per square foot for the labor and 2 83 to 3 57 per square foot for the concrete itself. There can also be a delivery fee of 60.

If a thicker floor is desired excavate below skirt board bottom by any slab thickness greater than 4. If you are just storing toys lawnmowers and cars in the pole barn then 4 of concrete will more than suffice.

I recommend a standard 4 floor for most residential pole buildings. I would use a concrete saw to cut out two foot by two foot squares at each column location remove the concrete auger holes as appropriately designed by the building engineer set the columns in the hole per the plans then form and fill with premix around the top of the column to complete the slab. This can prevent damage caused by a pre mix concrete truck.
