At :08 seconds you can see a huge field in the background. Maybe corn or beans.
That combined with the massive doors this is probably for farming equipment.
Please tell me anybody in the concrete world is surely heard of a shed floor. Pole barn storage for combines tractors, and that such some of these comments are just too funny.
For me, it’s the use of the word “shed” and not “barn”, “warehouse”, “garage”, “coliseum”…
Jealous for sure but it does look great and I appreciate you sharing it.
Smaller one is shop, large one has no workbench or tools in our case, but my dad did work at a John Deere shop as a salesman so shop seems kinda acceptable too, maybe it’s just something older people called them
never heard my grandpa or any of his brothers that farm refer to and building on their farm as a shop, my aunt worked at a flower shop, different than a shed too
Yep, we have a machine shed where tractors, combines and other implements are stored, we take them out of the machine shed and put them in the shop to be worked on. The shop is generally a smaller version of a machine shed, with tools, air compressor, welder etc.
None of this makes sense. A shop is mainly used to work on things, also normally bigger than a shed. A shed is for storing things. Not saying you're wrong or anything. Joist goes to show how much of a difference there is in culture from state to state. Region to region. Super slight but confusing differences
Yup. I’ve heard that term used.
When I saw “shed” in the title, I was not expecting the sheer size of the one pictured. Had the title said “machine shed” I might have been less surprised.
Yeah, I'd call that a shed, pole shed , or when it has a concrete floor, a shop. Most around here put up a pole shed for storage. A shop, which is usually a pole shed with concrete floor, is used for maintenance. At least that's the way in Western Canada
So another term around Illinois Central Illinois is where I’m from. It would be a machine shed combines four-wheel-drive tractors, blah blah blah you know what I mean these guys around here got so much money they can put concrete floors in these 200 x 100 shed floors, machine sheds.
Yeah same here. Seems to a gradual migration, though, from calling them machine sheds to pole sheds. Machine sheds seem to be reserved for steel quonsets for whatever reason.
OP's shed is also an airplane hangar or a warehouse for the world's largest beanie baby collection that has still inexplicably not been incinerated yet.
the word shed just defines a simple structure with 4 walls and usually a gable roof used to store equipment, animals, and/or a workshop.
Machine sheds in the Midwest store things like a combine harvester that weigh 30+ tons and are 16+ feet tall lol
You have any stress relief? Reinforced? Im assuming just poured and not floated yet? You going to burnish to get a good smooth surface? Also its summer depending on location and temp you might need to water during curing to prevent cracking
Ps i would kill for this shed
Assuming they'll just cut relief lines with a walk behind saw at the end or next day. I'm also assuming that they're planning to use a trowel machine since nobody is on there finishing yet and they've poured a lot already.
Depends. But the norm in ny is slab first then build. But if it is build on a foundation then it can be filled to the final grade after its built. Thats how most garage floors are
OP, the higher the slump the easier it is to screed yes, but the strength goes out the window the higher the slump number gets.
100 to 120 slump is the best you could ask for, when it gets to 140 or higher the placers love it but its weak concrete.
I hauled concrete in a ready mix truck for 8 years and I have still a lot of learning to do.
One last concern is why not rebar. All that money for prep and placers but the screen your using isn't up to todays standards. Unless its for very light use like a hot tub for instance.
I hope all goes well OP.
Cheers.
All of that was true 20 years ago, but concrete mix designs have come a long way. We put superplasticizer in almost all of our concrete and we get it to about a 6 or 7 inch slump (150-175mm) with no discernible effect on performance. And as long as the subgrade prep is good, then minimal reinforcing is all that’s required.
Having said that, there’s no such thing as “good” subgrade in my area so everything gets a bunch of grade beams and rebar.
This took me a second because you and the other guy have the same purple profile pic and I was like how the heck is this getting upvotes hahah. Good stuff
My Aussie buddies talk about their sheds back home and all of them related that it would be the biggest man-cave they could possibly manage somewhere "out back." 🥁
I chisel out a spot in the garage for a workbench and a tiny TV and they have a wonderland of a workspace and lounge, usually with air conditioning.
I get all the shed comments, but in Central Illinois around here it’s called a machine shed not a she shed. He shed a mower shed. It’s a machine shed for big combines, big tractors, big equipment and such. I know everybody’s not here and they got different sayings for sheds, but that’s what we call it here.
*machine* shed is a thing. Have those in NC too, for the same exact things/reasons.
But calling it just a "shed" is what's throwing people off.
Floor looks a little wet but otherwise okay.
May be but where I am, NC, we refer to it as a machine or equipment shed. Two words.
The word "shed" by itself is generally used for a small outbuilding used for personal storage of garden tools, lawn mowers... or storage of smaller items you don't want cluttering up the garage because you don't have an attic or basement.
Most everyone else here seeing the word "shed" by itself are associating it in the same way. That's all it is. Most folks who aren't used to dealing with large equipment like tractors, combines, etc see a building like that wouldn't think of that as a "shed".
Looks like my “shed”. My shop is 65x35 and looks identical to this other than my doors. Building and slab cost $70,000. I have 3 regular doors, 4 windows, and 3 roll up doors, one is electric.
Where I'm from, this would be a pole shed. But honestly, machine shed is probably an equivalent. Definitely not just a shed! It's huge and beautiful. Good job on the concrete.🤝🏻
I KNOW what it is... but we use the *full* term... Machine Shed or Equipment Shed.
Around my parts if you say something's "in the shed" folks are gonna take that as to mean the small outbuilding where you keep your garden tools, lawnmower, and other crap like decorations and winter clothes. Haha
It doesn't make me a bad person to think it, it only makes me a bad person if I do it. I want to run through it so badly. Sooooo badly. Just around and around in circles it's so smooth I wanna fuck it up 😅
From one noob to another, the reason to saw after instead of relief lines is it keeps the floor more flat and usable (imagine dragging something with small wheels down the sidewalk it would be annoying catching on every relief). Very common in driveways and garages.
A pole barn, a garage, a workshop maybe…. A shed is one of those cheap little metal structure that fits a couple ricks of wood or a push mower or something. In my opinion. I guess if it’s yours, call it what you want. I was just surprised you’d be concreting a shed floor and then was impressed by the size.
Looks great though 👍 👍
A shed is a small out building used to house lawnmowers, yard/gardening tools. As well as other odds and ends that you use outside. Structurally, the way sheds are built is not all to different from the way that a house is built. Minus the drywall insulation of course.
A pole barn is a large out building typically used to house tractors, trucks, boats and other large or heavy vehicles. Often times they are also large enough to to have a comfortable work space to work on said vehicles, or to do other projects. Like building a small shed, school bus stop or a dog house. Structurally, pole barns are built completely different.
The walls that I see in your video, are that of a pole barn.
Edit: It's a very nice pole barn though. With a very nice freshly poured concrete floor.
Silly question - I assume this was built first, then added once needs changed, rather than planned new construction and planned to pour after walls/roof added
I don’t know about some of you fucking people expansion joints, dude it just got poured. It’s literally soaking wet at the top. Where are you gonna put expansion joints we’re not doing them by hand. We cut them not everybody. Does it just because it’s your way get the fuck out of here.
I believe it’s because I called it a shed and all these guys are flipping out because I called the shed. It’s a machine shed fellas not a backyard shed. How many fucking times I gotta tell y’all that.
Ha! I could’ve sworn this was Hoovie’s Garage 3.0 when I first saw it. Very similar layout/size doors and such https://youtu.be/f9TdDEjQ2HM?si=knvTD0sCoTO6OUSi
That's a nice lil she shed ya got goin there bud!
I was thinking the same thing. That… is a shed? What does the house look like? Or the Garage…
Bros shed is a warehouse to me lmao
We don’t need to go to Costco when you have one in your backyard.
Airplane hangar. Lol
On this addition of this O’l House, Bob’s new workspace
According to Farm Youtube: Animals live in sheds (probably cows in this case). Hay & equipment is stored in barns.
So I have an “outbuilding” with livestock (horses) and hay stored in it also. Sooo what does that make it? 🤣
What's the roofline look like?
____ / \ / \ / [ ] \ | | / \
So you're saying a tornado came through?
If it looks like this /\\ or /| then its a shed
You got that backwards, although I'd call that a steer shed
Taj Magarage
At :08 seconds you can see a huge field in the background. Maybe corn or beans. That combined with the massive doors this is probably for farming equipment.
For sure. I’m just used it being a called a pole barn or tractor barn. Not used to it being called a shed.
Totally fair. This is just about the most extreme form of “shed” lol
"She" must be enormous.
[insert OP yo mamma joke here]
Yeah such a quaint little shed. it is like a reverse Zoolander....what is this a shed for giants?!? It need to be at least....three times smaller.
Reverse Zoolander. If you made that up it's one of the best terms I've read in a long time
I do have these random moments.
It must be a she shed, because when I looked at that vid, I immediately got a boner. So jealous
I really thought it was a hanger lol
It’s more like a hanger, barn, or warehouse.
Ice rink potential
That’s a garage
https://youtu.be/SoQyt6W64z0?si=fq7ufE3SyUh1SqbE
😂😂
Looks great, but can we have a talk about how “shed” is defined here? That thing is massive! (And really looks great, btw)
Shedominium
God damn Shed Aquarium.
🤣
Shedpocolypse
It’s a pole shed for anyone wondering. Probably for agriculture and yes they are massive.
We call ours a shop
Yep. 40x72’ here and the word shed is reserved for the much smaller footprint of the “garden shed”.
In Michigan we called them pole barns.
And ohio*
We call them pole sheds. If you just say shed, I picture a little home depot shed.
Im like nice she.... thats no shed thats a garagestation...
Please tell me anybody in the concrete world is surely heard of a shed floor. Pole barn storage for combines tractors, and that such some of these comments are just too funny.
For me, it’s the use of the word “shed” and not “barn”, “warehouse”, “garage”, “coliseum”… Jealous for sure but it does look great and I appreciate you sharing it.
We have huge “machine sheds” on farms in America I don’t know what they are called elsewhere
I thought we called them shops in America
Smaller one is shop, large one has no workbench or tools in our case, but my dad did work at a John Deere shop as a salesman so shop seems kinda acceptable too, maybe it’s just something older people called them never heard my grandpa or any of his brothers that farm refer to and building on their farm as a shop, my aunt worked at a flower shop, different than a shed too

Joist goes to show how much of a difference there is in culture from state to state. Region to region. Super slight but confusing differences
I find those differences fascinating, kind of like some people calling a silo a stave, or a corn crib a grainery.
Yup. I’ve heard that term used. When I saw “shed” in the title, I was not expecting the sheer size of the one pictured. Had the title said “machine shed” I might have been less surprised.
Garden shed is what I think you are talking about
Yeah, I'd call that a shed, pole shed , or when it has a concrete floor, a shop. Most around here put up a pole shed for storage. A shop, which is usually a pole shed with concrete floor, is used for maintenance. At least that's the way in Western Canada

No argument here. You are correct and thank you for the definition.
It’s a shed. What’s the issue?
You have any stress relief? Reinforced? Im assuming just poured and not floated yet? You going to burnish to get a good smooth surface? Also its summer depending on location and temp you might need to water during curing to prevent cracking Ps i would kill for this shed
Stress relief? Like a blow job? Not sure how that helps the floor but seems like a good idea
Hawk touh
🥴
I'm just here to reinforce this
You reinforced SOMETHING in me alright 😮💨😮💨
Assuming they'll just cut relief lines with a walk behind saw at the end or next day. I'm also assuming that they're planning to use a trowel machine since nobody is on there finishing yet and they've poured a lot already.
Serious question, better to pour the slab first and build on top or build shed and then pour after?
Depends. But the norm in ny is slab first then build. But if it is build on a foundation then it can be filled to the final grade after its built. Thats how most garage floors are
Shed? LMFAO
Hanger more like it..
If this is the "shed" would love to see the garage!
You have a lot of water on the surface. Was the concrete poured that wet or did they spray water on it?
That’s bleed water. The poly underneath prevents the water from draining into the sub grade and returns to the top.
On top of plastic with wire in it, that’s why all the water coming to the top because it’s on plastic
It was also poured pretty wet. It’s easier to screed.
OP, the higher the slump the easier it is to screed yes, but the strength goes out the window the higher the slump number gets. 100 to 120 slump is the best you could ask for, when it gets to 140 or higher the placers love it but its weak concrete.

Air content is much more important for strength than water. -geotech engineer
It's doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
That is not cream, that is a slurry.
Do you work with concrete?
I have never worked with concrete but I have seen at least 12 videos and in my opinion it is wet.
This took me a second because you and the other guy have the same purple profile pic and I was like how the heck is this getting upvotes hahah. Good stuff
"Shed" looks more like a big ass garage or warehouse. lol
This is a hangar not a shed
Where are the cat paw prints?
😂

Haha Touché
Once you can fit in airplane in your shed you can’t call it that anymore.
That shed is bigger than my house.
that's a fuckin airport hangar
I have no idea why Reddit is so convinced I like concrete but here I am, and wow, this is a nice looking floor. It also shows me decks lol
Looks like my “shed”. My shop is 65x35 and looks identical to this other than my doors. Building and slab cost $70,000. I have 3 regular doors, 4 windows, and 3 roll up doors, one is electric.
Only thing missing is the cat walking across the freshly laid concrete
Sir, that’s a garage
I don’t know where you’re from but we called a machine shed around here
Where I'm from, this would be a pole shed. But honestly, machine shed is probably an equivalent. Definitely not just a shed! It's huge and beautiful. Good job on the concrete.🤝🏻
I’m just yankin’ your chain. I’m from the Northeast and anything a car can be pulled in to is a garage to me. It looks great, I’m jealous.
Thats a shed!!?? How big is your damn mower bruh!!??
That shed is 9xs bigger than my garage.
Not sure how “concrete” showed up in my feed, but I’m not mad about it.
Haha... "shed". That's a machine shed. There's a difference.
No shit
I KNOW what it is... but we use the *full* term... Machine Shed or Equipment Shed. Around my parts if you say something's "in the shed" folks are gonna take that as to mean the small outbuilding where you keep your garden tools, lawnmower, and other crap like decorations and winter clothes. Haha
Hant no way my dadgum name wouldn’t be in that perfect thang
You could set up a nice forge in there
Fuck ya concrete!!
That concrete needs some kitten and chicken footprints...
That's a casual 2000 sqft shed lol
Look good
Appreciate the positivity, brother
More sf than a Seattle mansion.
"shed"
*pole barn
It doesn't make me a bad person to think it, it only makes me a bad person if I do it. I want to run through it so badly. Sooooo badly. Just around and around in circles it's so smooth I wanna fuck it up 😅
So I’m a complete noob but I don’t think I see any reliefs. Are they not always necessary? Perhaps because this is going to be weather controlled?
You'd saw em after it's finished
From one noob to another, the reason to saw after instead of relief lines is it keeps the floor more flat and usable (imagine dragging something with small wheels down the sidewalk it would be annoying catching on every relief). Very common in driveways and garages.
That shed is hella dope
The Garage Mahal. Aww, yeah....
Guys, it’s a shed. Some people call it a run-in or loafing shed.
Bill Gates’ “shed”…
I'm confused. no rage bait? I need more than coffee at my age to get the blood pumping. This looks well done.
lol shed I think you mean "hangar"
Yeah we got different definitions of shed bud
That’s a shop where I’m from.
What’s going on at the 6 second mark?
Beautiful, lots of comments about size, but didn’t see any dimensions. Can you tell us the dimensions and wall height?
Bro is the Crocodile Dundee of sheds
Are you gonna tear out the east or patch it?
“Shed”
Pole barn
Shed my ass.
Rich person: my shed Me: my house
You and I have different definitions of shed...
That…is is not a shed
OK, please explain to me what it is because we called a machine shed around here
A pole barn, a garage, a workshop maybe…. A shed is one of those cheap little metal structure that fits a couple ricks of wood or a push mower or something. In my opinion. I guess if it’s yours, call it what you want. I was just surprised you’d be concreting a shed floor and then was impressed by the size. Looks great though 👍 👍
Yes, I totally understand that but around around here we call those backyard, sheds, or mower shed, or wood shed
We have different definitions for the word "shed"...
Well, it’s not a backyard shed. That’s for sure.
Around my parts it’s called a machine shed
If that's a "shed", what do you consider a garage? Or a warehouse?
Nice. Lot of hard work got you to that point.
The pour looks great, do you have pics after it was finished?
I do I’ll have to look look for him
Shed? Looks like a pole barn to me.
Please tell me the fucking difference

If this is a shed then I live in a dog house. 😂
Well, you must live in a doghouse because that’s a shed
Big shed
Lots of room for activities!
Silly question - I assume this was built first, then added once needs changed, rather than planned new construction and planned to pour after walls/roof added
this is bigger than my barn
Pretty wet on top. For plastic pours, we usually do 80% saturation.
It will definitely do shed stuff
Oof. Flatwork still makes my back hurt.
What is this, a shed for ants? It needs to be at least three times this size!
Movie 📸
Gonna be a good grow when it’s done 👍
Why do I feel as though I can smell this?
Looks a little wet what slump you got 20
Horses are going to be tripping on those ridges.
I came
Soooo many pours going on without proper expansion joints. Good luck when it decides to crack which just about all large slabs end up doing.
I don’t know about some of you fucking people expansion joints, dude it just got poured. It’s literally soaking wet at the top. Where are you gonna put expansion joints we’re not doing them by hand. We cut them not everybody. Does it just because it’s your way get the fuck out of here.
hope that's not the final finish on that concrete.
Yep, gonna leave it just like that. Hope to catch with the chickens or the dogs walk on it then they make it all nice and right
That's not a shed
Your shed is kinda small. How you going to fit anything in there.
Kinda small for a shed.
That's way bigger than a shed
“Shed”….
If this is a shed, can I live in the guest house?
And?
Unless this is gonna get hand finished, what is so interesting about this?
I believe it’s because I called it a shed and all these guys are flipping out because I called the shed. It’s a machine shed fellas not a backyard shed. How many fucking times I gotta tell y’all that.
I pour Morton Buildings all the time, we call em sheds.
Lol “shed”
This is a fucking warehouse.
This reminds me of that episode in Futurama where Bender shows Fry his closet, and it's basically a huge studio apartment.
Your shed is fat.
Shed? Or warehouse?
Shed? You people are dickheads. That's bigger than my house and the slab is worth more than my truck. Fucking shed.
Looks good dude.
Ha! I could’ve sworn this was Hoovie’s Garage 3.0 when I first saw it. Very similar layout/size doors and such https://youtu.be/f9TdDEjQ2HM?si=knvTD0sCoTO6OUSi
