The Various Types of Concrete Shed Slabs
When it comes to concrete shed slabs, one size doesn’t fit all. We offer a range of options to suit different needs and applications. Residential shed slabs are designed for typical backyard sheds, garden workshops, and small garages. These slabs are usually 4-6 inches thick and reinforced with steel mesh to prevent cracking. We carefully prepare the ground, ensuring proper drainage to protect your shed from moisture-related issues. For larger structures like double garages or workshops, we may recommend a thicker slab with additional reinforcement to handle heavier loads.
Commercial and industrial shed slabs are built to withstand heavy equipment, frequent vehicle traffic, and substantial storage loads. These slabs are typically 6-8 inches thick or more, depending on the specific requirements of your project. We use high-strength concrete mixes and incorporate features like thickened edges or integral footings for added stability. Our team can also design slabs to accommodate specialised equipment or unique storage needs, ensuring your commercial shed or warehouse has a foundation that’s up to the task. Whether for residential or commercial use, we tailor our approach to create a shed slab that meets your specific needs and provides a stable, long-lasting foundation.

Carport Slab
Carport slabs need to withstand the weight of vehicles and protect them from ground moisture. We construct carport slabs with a slight slope for water runoff and use a concrete mix designed to resist oil and chemical stains. The result is a durable, low-maintenance surface that keeps your vehicles safe and dry.
Garden Shed Slabs
For garden sheds, we create slabs that harmonise with your outdoor space while providing a sturdy foundation. These slabs are typically smaller but still require careful preparation and execution. We can incorporate features like a textured finish for better traction or integrate the slab seamlessly with existing pathways or patio areas.
Garage Slab
Garage slabs require extra attention to detail due to the weight they bear and the frequent use they endure. We construct garage slabs with thicker concrete and additional reinforcement to handle the weight of cars and stored equipment such as tools, workbenches, and storage items. Our garage slabs are designed with proper drainage to prevent water accumulation and can include features like conduit for electrical wiring or plumbing rough-ins for added functionality. This careful design ensures a durable and versatile foundation for your garage, capable of withstanding the daily stress of vehicle parking and general garage activities.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about concreting projects in Nowra
The timeline for a typical residential shed slab installation is usually 1-2 days, including site preparation and concrete pouring. Larger or more complex slabs for commercial applications may take 3-5 days. After pouring, the concrete needs about 7 days to cure sufficiently for light use, and 28 days to reach full strength.
In many cases, small shed slabs don’t require council approval. However, larger structures or slabs in certain zones may need permits. We’re familiar with local regulations and can advise you on whether your project requires council approval. When necessary, we can assist with the permit application process.
We use laser levelling equipment to ensure precise grading of the site and slab surface. To prevent cracking, we incorporate steel reinforcement (mesh or rebar) and control joints. We also carefully prepare the subgrade and use an appropriate concrete mix for local soil conditions. Our attention to these details helps ensure a durable, level slab that resists cracking.
Absolutely. We can incorporate a variety of features into your shed slab, including drainage systems, anchor bolts for securing your shed, conduit for electrical wiring, or plumbing rough-ins. Just let us know your requirements during the planning phase, and we’ll design these features into your slab.
Concrete shed slabs are relatively low-maintenance. Regular cleaning to remove dirt and debris is usually sufficient. For outdoor slabs, ensure that water drains away from the slab and address any pooling issues promptly. If you notice any cracks developing, have them assessed and repaired early to prevent more significant problems. We can provide specific maintenance advice based on your slab’s design and use.
