My Garage Floor Slope Is Too Much

The apron in front of the garage smooths the transition for the vehicle from the driveway into the garage and acts as a barrier to debris and moisture.

My garage floor slope is too much.

The apron s length depends on the required slope more length is needed to reduce steep slopes. Everything i ve read says slope it 1 8 to 1 4 inch per foot toward the garage door. If too little slope even if the water drains it won t be self cleaning i e. The average person can sense if a floor slopes 1 inch in 10 feet and sloping floors or sagging floors are often one of the warning signs that structural engineers look for when analyzing a house.

Determining the angle of your floor s slope provides a simple method to level work surfaces in the garage. 1 attach one end of the string level to the wall of the garage furthest from the main door. 7 inches sounds like too much both visually and from a walkability standpoint so the most i m going to consider is 3 5. Although most floors slope it is important to know how much and why.

1 8 per foot is minimum you should use. So i did more measurement in the garage. We have an attached two car garage with the size of about 21 x 21. Getting ready to pour a garage floor slab.

A little more won t hurt but too much will. It seems to be one side of garage floor is a little bit tilt towards the wall which means on one side the middle. The apron extends the width of the garage floor. One side is about 4 5 and the other side is around 5 4.

Stuff heavy stuff will tend to settle out and not move along as fast as it should jon. At a very rare occasion i measured the slope on both sides of the garage.
