Shop, Barn & Garage Slabs in Temple, TX
A shop slab has to carry far more than a patio: lifts, hoists, tractors, trailers, and steel building loads all land on the same few inches of concrete. We pour shop pads, barn foundations, equipment slabs, and detached garage floors across Temple and Bell County to specs that match how you'll actually use the building.
Before we form anything in Temple, we look at the building package, the column and anchor-bolt layout, and how heavy the loads will be. That drives slab thickness, thickened edges or grade beams, rebar size and spacing, and whether the pad needs a vapor barrier under the floor.
Expansive clay is the enemy of a big slab. Proper subgrade compaction, correct moisture at the time of the pour, and control joints laid out on a grid that matches the bay spacing are what keep a Temple shop floor flat and clean for decades.
How we build it
- Typical thickness: 5–6" standard · 6"+ for equipment and lifts
- Edges: Thickened edge or grade beam under building walls
- Reinforcement: #4 rebar on 12–18" centers, sized to the load
- Under-slab: Compacted base; vapor barrier where the floor is conditioned
- Finish: Smooth trowel finish standard; broom finish on request

Temple shop & barn slab FAQ
Straight answers. No runaround.
How much does a shop slab cost in Temple, TX?
Most shop and barn slabs in Temple run $9–$16 per square foot installed. Thickness, thickened edges, anchor-bolt layout, site access, and how much dirt work the pad needs all move the number. You get a free written estimate with the breakdown.
How thick should a shop slab be?
Five inches handles most workshops and storage buildings. If you're parking equipment, running a lift, or storing a loaded trailer, we go 6" or thicker with heavier rebar and thickened edges under the walls.
Can you pour the pad for a metal building kit in Temple?
Yes — that's one of our most common jobs. Send us the building drawings and anchor-bolt template and we'll form the pad, set the bolts to the template, and hand it off square and ready for the erector.
Do I need a permit for a shop slab in Temple?
Inside Temple city limits an accessory building and its slab generally require a permit; county properties often follow different rules. We'll point you to the right department before we start.
