I had them do what they call thick edges which is like a 12x12 footing with rebar. The slab is 4" with rebar. I also had them do about 50 feet of 4 foot sidewalk about 20 yards total at a little over 6k... They did a good job...
Thick edges. First I've heard of that, but it makes total sense. Did they do the entry that way as well or just the sides?
I'm fairly certain my drive is just standard drive concrete, and running my 5vr in and out of it has started to concern me. It runs about 16.5k, though it's spread across 3 axles, but I'm not sure how much benefit that really is since the axles are so close.
I'm going to let it ride for now. My drive is only comfortably wide enough for 1 vehicle at a time, but it's probably about 160' long. The downside to that width is the mouth isn't quite wide enough to swing the camper in without really getting it sideways, and the gaggle of girlfriends my wife has over on a regular basis always park half off the drive into the yard so they can all get past each other when the party starts breaking up. Starting to get hard on my yard (and nerves).
I want to redo the drive wider and thicker, with a bigger flaired mouth so I can cut the unit in without having to mostly jack knife myself to get it in there. And I don't want to do any of that until I get ready to raise the roof on my garage, extend it back another 8', and tack another 2 car onto the side. That way my camper will fit, and I'll have someplace to part all the kids vehicles when they start driving, which will be happening wayyyy too soon.
