| Re: Concrete Pad Depth in Mass The standard four inches of reinforced concrete on top of six inches of well drained crushed stone will work fine in almost all climate and soil conditions, if you are building a normal height freestanding oven. Footings below the frost line are only used in special circumstances.

| Re: Concrete Pad Depth in Mass 4 inches of concrete with reinforcing is plenty. Use something like 3/8 rebar on 8 inch grid both ways with the ends either "hooked" or with 10 inches bent right angles and tied to outside row. Last edited by Neil2; 08-28-2010 at 11:44 AM. |
