When to pour a concrete floor in a pole building?
When do I pour my concrete floor?
A commonly asked question is, "when do I pour the concrete floor in a pole building, before or after the building is up?"
The pole building construction company must drill holes in the ground with an earth auger to embed your posts, so its not a good idea to pour your concrete floor before the building is up.
It is best if you level your site and spread your gravel before the company begins your building erection. The builder should allow for the thickness of your concrete floor when they set the elevations of your building. That way, when your concrete is installed, your will still have the desired "headroom" in your building. Since the bottom two "skirt boards" should be ground contact pressure treated, you can use these as your forms. The bottom of the "skirt boards" will create your bottom of slab elevation. All you need to do is measure up on the boards (typically) 4 inches, mark a string line and pour to that line.
We have been told that many concrete contractors prefer to work in a completed, enclosed building because it keeps the weather off the concrete while it cures. Remember, curing concrete emits a lot of heat and moisture. It is often a good idea to leave your doors open and even use a fan to get these unwanted vapors out of your building.
