I'm building a shed. Part one is complete, preparing the site for a slab; it's leveled, graveled and framed. We're thinking to do the pour later this week.
A friend of mine, who does concrete for a living, is helping with this part. I'm afraid that he might not be a professional, just one of those amateurs who gets paid, because he's telling me that we don't need any reinforcing steel in a shed slab. Except that at 12x20, the slab is big enough for a garage. Although I'm not building a garage (a garage needs a permit, and a shed does not), far down the road it's possible that someone will try to use it as an RV parking pad or something.
Am I right to think that we should lay in some steel before pouring? The expense would be minor, and I can't think of any other downside.
