I'm curious about the additional 2" xps there on the slope and under the thickened concrete. Is that recommended? Most of what I've seen doesn't insulation under the thickened portion. I'm not sure why.

More great advice thank you. This forum is amazing.

That looks awesome. I've done a ton of FPSF reading and there is a LOT of varying, and in some cases conflicting info so my head is spinning a bit. I appreciate you guys sharing your knowledge.

@jasondavidmann I checked out your build thread, looks awesome. A few follow up questions, when you added the diagonal frost barrier to the outside, It looks like about 8" down with about a 30 degree slope. I'm assuming you did that after the pad was set? I'm also assuming I put the vertical...

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks SO much!

Hi All, I'm a little confused on exactly how to layout my insulation for a floating slab. I'm doing a 24' x 14' garage/shed (it's grown from 20') that I'm going to run pex through for in-floor. I've attached an image of what I currently have. There's approx 10" of gravel and we're doing a 6"...

Thank you all for your thoughts on this, I appreciate it. You've all given me a lot to think about and provided some great insight and logic. I think I will do the two loop approach purely based on the responsiveness consideration. Thanks so much!

Thanks both. The single run will be under 300' since it's only a 14' x 20' slab. So if there's no real benefit to doing two 150' runs then I think I'd just prefer the one. @PoorUB Any particular reason for circles around the perimeter first?

Hello all, I've been reading through the forms and have seen a ton of advice that a 1/2" pex loop shouldn't exceed 300'. Totally get that. I have a 20' x 14' pad I want to do for a shed/garage. My question is, should I have a single loop, since it will be under 300'. Or is it better somehow to...
