I am getting a small barn shape garage (16 x 24) built in my backyard. Currently, just the pad is poured. The framing is supposed to start tomorrow. After framed, I would like to either paint the garage floor or use that material with flakes (HD or Lowes sell). I do not know which one...

Thank you to everyone with advice and comments. I learned a lot from this forum. I will now sit back and watch my garage being built with the confidence that it will turn out right.

Here are the pictures as promised. This is after the concrete poured. I measured 9 inches high.

I see your garage has a little ramp. Was your garage originally like mine??

I just got off the phone with the builder and he said a minimum of 8" high is normal for a garage. (Tell me a cat is really a dog 20 times and I may start believing it is!) Was also told I would have to build a ramp that is a 1 degree. How best to figure a 1 degree ramp? I will show you...

This is what I have so far. This is the foundation they poured. I am hoping the pictures came out.

I had not thought of gravel. That might be an idea as it would still look good. I like that idea, thank you.

Hi, I am new to this forum. I have been reading posts on the side for a while but now I need to "jump in" and ask for advice. I live in the Panhandle of Florida and we are having a 16 x 24 barn shape garage built in my backyard. Yesterday, they poured the concrete and noticed the concrete...
