TL;DR
A concrete shed slab is a poured pad, commonly 4 inches thick over 4 inches of compacted gravel, that serves as both the foundation and the finished floor of a storage building. Thickened edges of 8 to 12 inches carry the wall loads, wire mesh or fiber controls cracking, and anchor bolts or straps set in the wet pour tie the structure down.
What it means
A concrete shed slab is a poured pad, commonly 4 inches thick over 4 inches of compacted gravel, that serves as both the foundation and the finished floor of a storage building. Thickened edges of 8 to 12 inches carry the wall loads, wire mesh or fiber controls cracking, and anchor bolts or straps set in the wet pour tie the structure down. It outperforms wood-skid floors for heavy mowers and workshops, and many jurisdictions require it, or at least frost-protected footings, once a shed passes a certain square footage.
