not sure where you are located. based on local frost lines, it is best to dig out for your concrete slab at least 7″ so that you can get 3″ of gravel and a 4″ pour on the slab. Depending on where you live, it may be best to dig a turndown on the slab around the edge. A turndown is done by digging about shovel width around the perimeter down at least a foot to help lock the slab in and help prevent frost heave. If you are in a very cold climate. You may want to dig down even deeper. When you pour the slab, the turndown fill in and makes the pour stronger. Hope this helps you and enjoy your new bar!! Hope it is ready for football season. Let’s Go, HOKIES!!!!

How should i go about putting in foundation
