What Size Steel Mesh Do I Need For A Concrete Slab?

When wondering if you need mesh in your concrete slab, or figuring out how much mesh you need, firstly, you need to calculate the area of your concrete slab. To do this simply multiply the length of the slab by the width.

Here is the formula: Length x Width = Slab Area (m2)

For example:

Concrete Mesh - Wire Thickness

I am building a patio home (concrete slab) and they will soon be pouring the foundation. One concrete worker that I know suggested that they should use 8 gauge mesh vs. 10 gauge mesh.

Thanks.
