Concrete Shed Slabs Melbourne
We know Melbourne’s soil conditions, council regulations, and what’s needed to create a level, reinforced foundation that lasts. If you’re building a shed and need a slab that won’t crack, sink, or shift over time, we’ll get it sorted—properly and efficiently.
Why Choose a Concrete Shed Slab?
A shed slab isn’t just a patch of concrete—it’s the foundation that keeps your shed stable and secure. Done right, it prevents sinking, cracking, and water pooling. Compared to timber or gravel bases, a concrete slab is the strongest, longest-lasting option.
- Creates a level, stable surface for sheds and workshops
- Prevents moisture buildup and ground movement
- Strong enough to support heavy equipment and machinery
- Requires minimal maintenance once installed
- Meets council and building regulations for structural safety
If you want your shed to last, starting with a proper slab is a must.
Benefits of a Foundation Concrete Slab
Concrete Shed Slab Thickness & Strength
The thickness of a shed slab depends on what you’re using it for.
- Standard garden sheds usually require a 75mm to 100mm thick slab
- Workshops and storage sheds with heavy machinery need at least 100mm to 150mm with reinforced steel mesh
- Industrial or large-scale sheds may require a reinforced slab with deep footings for extra support
Reinforcing with mesh or rebar ensures the concrete won’t crack or move, even under heavy loads.
House Concrete Slab vs. Shed Slab
House slabs and shed slabs serve different purposes, so they’re built differently.
- House slabs are thicker and have deep footings to support walls and roofs
- Shed slabs are generally thinner but still require proper reinforcement to prevent cracking
- Both need proper site preparation and drainage to avoid shifting or water damage
If you’re unsure what slab thickness you need, we can assess your site and recommend the best option.
How Much Does a Concrete Slab Cost?
The cost of a shed slab depends on size, thickness, reinforcement, and site conditions. A small garden shed slab is more affordable than a heavy-duty industrial slab, but the cost is still much lower than replacing a poorly installed one.
Cost Factors for Concrete Slabs
- Size and thickness – Larger and thicker slabs cost more due to increased material and labour
- Site preparation – Levelling, excavation, and drainage adjustments add to the price
- Reinforcement – Steel mesh or rebar strengthens the slab but increases costs
- Sealing and finishing – Additional coatings for durability or aesthetics can impact pricing
Reinforced vs. Standard Concrete Slabs
A standard concrete slab is fine for small, lightweight sheds, but if your slab needs to support heavy equipment or long-term structural loads, reinforcement is the way to go.
- Standard concrete slab – A basic concrete pour with no reinforcement, suitable for light-use sheds
- Reinforced slab – Includes steel mesh or rebar to increase strength and prevent cracking over time
If in doubt, we recommend reinforcement for added durability. It’s a small investment that prevents big issues later.
Our Concrete Slab Installation Process
A concrete slab needs proper installation to last. At Lux Concrete Co, we handle everything from site prep to pouring and curing, ensuring a high-quality, long-lasting result.
Site Preparation & Formwork
Before pouring the concrete, we:
- Excavate and level the ground to create a solid, even base
- Install formwork to keep the slab in shape and prevent spillage
- Lay reinforcement mesh (if needed) to strengthen the concrete
Good preparation prevents cracking, shifting, and drainage issues later on.
Concrete Pouring & Finishing
Once the site is ready, we:
- Mix and pour the concrete evenly to prevent weak spots
- Level and smooth the surface for a clean, functional finish
- Allow proper curing time to ensure maximum strength
Depending on your needs, we can also apply a sealant to protect the slab from moisture, oil stains, and wear.
