    Default Concrete for existing garage.

    Two car garage with gravel. I want to go back with concrete. What's the best way to go about this. How deep do I need to dig down? And from what I've been told I need to dig a deeper footer at the doors? Will I need rebar, plastic,gravel put down before I pour? Will I need to form it inside or since I'm digging down across the walls will that suffice?

    I'm tired of laying on gravel. The garage is an existing garage before I bought the place. It's got glass,trash,metal pieces,nails and screws. Just would like a clean garage floor to lay on.

    4" slab. Fibermesh instead of wire. No plastic unless it is a conditioned space. Turn down on the front edge where your car will drive across. Piece of #5 bar in the nose of the turndown will be sufficient.

    Laying in rocks keeps you humble...
