In this episode of "The Good, Bad & the Ugly of Self Storage," hosts Michael and Dylan Cunningham discuss the critical importance of a strong foundation in self-storage facilities. They detail the preparation steps, including soil compaction and the use of 4-6 inches of base rock, and the necessity of proper grading and compaction testing. They explain the use of 2x6 or 2x8 form boards, the importance of a 13.5-inch wide, 1.5-inch deep roll-up door sill notch, and the benefits of using wire mesh instead of rebar grids. They also discuss the use of power screeds, expansion joints, and the importance of special inspections for concrete psi.
