Ok, Concrete experts, give me your opinions.

30x60, will have either a 4 post or 2 post lift, heated, will house 3-5 cars, tools, and a pool table.

I am thinking since I will never sell this barn, that I should spend the extra money and get 6 inch all the way around. Should not have to worry about cracks at all, and it will let me put my lift anywhere I decide.

This will be about 34-35 cubic yards of concrete at 6 inches,
at $75 a yard is $2550.

This will be about 23-24 cubic yards of concrete at 4 inches,
at $75 a yard is $1725.

I am thinking for the extra 800 bucks I would rather have the peace of mind that this floor will be perfect for a long long time.



I think i have decided that i will def go with the 6 inch floor....

and Chris got me thinking that I should put a big bowtie in the concrete.... can i flush in a big metal bowtie?
