Pouring concrete floors in the garage is not possible without the positioning of the reinforcement. For that  uses a special wire  diameter of 5 mm and a mesh reinforcement is 150*150 mm. If the coating will be exposed to very large mechanical stress, the thickness of the concrete floor in the garage should be bigger. Then you need to implement the creation of the reinforcement cage of reinforcement with a wire diameter of 0.8-1.6 cm, or from wire mesh. This is an important point. The concrete floor in the garage start to fill only after all preparatory of works: ramming of soil, laying of waterproofing, preparation of the formwork and installation of reinforcement frame. The pouring can be performed manually or using mixer. If he can drive to the place of execution, and casting machine works, the unloading of the concrete is directly on the already prepared base. If the drive fails, or the fill is on a hill, in this case, it is necessary to use a concrete pump. After performing the fill need to treat the concrete floor in the garage with the aid of such devices as a vibrating screed. To do this, set the guide at zero and level the concrete mix on the rails.
