you got me there...even if I don't do any olympic weightlifting, I would still keep dealifting....but with the rubber mats and plates I would hope the concrete slab will hold anyway..
I'm going to follow the following how to article...read a lot about how to do it, no one does slab the same way but this one seems pretty much bang on....
Aldersbrook
fair point...yes 7 x 4 meters are the dimensions of the slab. The reinforcing mesh cost over £200 all together so I could do with that saving for sure....one thing though the concrete slab will be the foundation of a gym....heavy weight dropped from headheight to be expected so I wonder if reinforcing would not be best anyway?
Still considering my options (if there is any) with regards to pouring...access is not great....the slab will be at the back of our garden roughly 50-60 meters away from the drive. It's a semi detached house but no side access due to the side garage so was thinking truck with pump through the garage indeed...
