Q:How much would it cost to install a concrete slab fir a 16x20 ft shed.
by|Jan 25, 2024
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: A slab can be poured with several variations that will affect the cost. Does your local building code require a footer or monolithic slab? Or is it permissible to just pour a slab without reinforcing the perimeter? The answer will need some research on your end to determine the type of foundation required. Once that is understood reach out to contractors that do this type of work for an estimate.

Because the Richmond is a DIY kit it is possible. But this will depend on how you intend to do so. The easiest would be a breezeway between the two buildings. Please call Best Barns directly at 800-245-1577.
