hello,
i want to pour a 20'x10'x4" slab for a patio. it will be poured against two brick walls of the house. i dont know if 4" is deep enough either? what size stone should i use for the base? #2? it is going to be poured on dirt. im going to dig up the grass and dirt will be the actual base to start with. what size mesh should i use? should i put bricks under the mesh to keep it off the ground? im planning on mixing the concrete using 80lb bags of premix, with a power mixer. how many bags will i need? i will buy the lumber for the forms according to the thickness of the concrete u think i should pour.
