Footers and floors for garages and outbuildings

A detached garage or workshop stands on its footers, not on its floor. Around Pittsburgh, footers go below the frost line, about 36 inches down, so the ground under them cannot heave in winter, and your township may call for more. The floor is poured inside the footers over compacted stone, at 6 inches or more where trucks, a tractor or a lift will sit.

Metal and pole buildings can work differently. Some stand on posts set in concrete, with the floor poured afterwards; others need a continuous footer or a thickened slab edge to hold the anchor bolts. Get the builder's anchor layout before anything is formed. See concrete footers and shed slabs.

Water is the other thing to settle early. On a large new floor, decide where the roof water and the surface water will go, and grade the ground away from the building before the pour. A floor drain in a workshop needs a legal place to empty, which is easier to sort out on paper than with a saw later. If you may heat the floor or coat it one day, say so now, because both change what goes under the slab and how its surface is finished.

Concrete questions from Gibsonia

Do you need footers for a metal building?

Usually, yes. Most metal buildings need footers or a thickened slab edge below the frost line to hold the anchor bolts. The building maker's drawings set the size and the anchor layout.

Can a concrete company pour footers and a floor for a detached garage in Gibsonia?

Yes. Footers usually run $30 to $60 per foot, and a garage slab can run $8 to $14 per square foot once footers and edges are included. We need the garage plan before we can price it.

Which township handles permits for a slab in Gibsonia, PA?

Gibsonia is in Richland Township, but the 15044 ZIP code also reaches into Hampton and Pine. Ask the township your property sits in whether a permit applies before the work starts.

What size slab does a pole building in Gibsonia need?

One that matches the inside footprint, with the posts or anchors set first. Common outbuilding pads run $1,200 to $3,000, and a full garage-size building costs more.
